Acute kidney injury occurs with kidney transplantation and too frequently progresses to the
clinical diagnosis of delayed graft function (DGF). Poor kidney function in the first week of …

Ischemia has been an inevitable event accompanying kidney transplantation. Ischemic
changes start with brain death, which is associated with severe hemodynamic disturbances …

Background Static cold storage is generally used to preserve kidney allografts from
deceased donors. Hypothermic machine perfusion may improve outcomes after …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the possible effects of machine perfusion (MP)
versus cold storage (CS) on delayed graft function (DGF) and early graft survival in …

Although donation after cardiac death (DCD) kidneys have a high incidence of delayed graft
function (DGF) and have been considered marginal, no tool for stratifying risk of graft loss …

We examined factors associated with expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidney discard.
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR)/Organ Procurement and Transplantation …

Background Adequate preservation of renal allografts for transplantation is important for
maintaining and improving transplant outcomes. There are two prevalent methods …

Maintaining organ viability after donation until transplantation is critically important for
optimal graft function and survival. To date, static cold storage is the most widely used form …

Abstract The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held an open public workshop in
September 2011 to discuss the current state of science related to the effects of ischemia …

Hypothermic preservation is known to cause renal graft injury, especially in donation after
circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplantation. We investigated the impact of cold storage …
