Current kidney perfusion protocols are not optimized for addressing the ex vivo
physiological and metabolic needs of the kidney. Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) …

Background Despite careful clinical examination, procurement biopsy and assessment on
hypothermic machine perfusion, a significant number of potentially useable deceased donor …

Background. Evidence suggests that nutritional supplementation during normothermic ex
vivo perfusion improves organ preservation. However, it is unclear whether the same benefit …

The thesis describes the development of a transportable normothermic kidney preservation
device which is able to perfuse discarded human and porcine kidneys for up to 24 hours for …

Introduction Background: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) offers a superior
alternative to existing hypothermic preservation strategies but is currently limited to 1-3 …

Introduction The current methods of preserving donor kidneys in nonoxygenated cold
conditions minimally protect the kidney against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), a major …

Background The measurement of urinary biomarkers during ex vivo normothermic kidney
perfusion (EVKP) may aid in the assessment of a kidney prior to transplantation. This study …

Kidney transplantation is the best renal-replacement option for most patients with end-stage
renal disease. Normothermic machine preservation (NMP) of the kidney has been studied …

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease as
it improves quality of life and reduces mortality when compared to long-term dialysis (1) …

Methods: This report details the successful transplantation of a discarded kidney due to fWIT
of 7 hrs from a 23-year-male donor with acute kidney injury (serum creatinine sCr-5.06 …
