Background/Aim: The global shortage of donor organs for transplantation has necessitated
the expansion of the organ pool through increased use of organs from less ideal donors …

BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function still represents a major complication in clinical
kidney transplantation. Here we tested the possibility to improve functional outcome of cold …

Static cold storage (SCS) and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) are currently standard
methods for renal grafts clinical preservation. Both methods are predominantly implemented …

Background. As warm ischaemic damage is a major reason for the loss of donor organs, an
experimental study was performed in order to evaluate retrograde oxygen persufflation …

OBJECTIVES: Especially for preservation of marginal donor organs, machine perfusion (MP)
and retrograde oxygen persufflation (ROP) are alternatives to cold storage (CS). Using a …

Background. In an era where global kidney shortage has pushed the field of transplantation
towards using more marginal donors, modified kidney preservation techniques are currently …

Background. Ex vivo machine perfusion is a novel preservation technique for storing and
assessing marginal kidney grafts. All ex vivo perfusion techniques have advantages and …

Machine perfusion for preservation led to compelling success for the outcome of renal
transplantation. Further refinements of methods to decrease preservation injury remain an …

Background Ex vivo perfusion (EVP) is a novel method of preservation. However, optimal
perfusion conditions remain undetermined. Reducing the temperature of the perfusate to …

In‐house machine perfusion after cold storage (hypothermic reconditioning) has been
proposed as convenient tool to improve kidney graft function. This study investigated the role …
