Background Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end‐stage kidney disease.
Retrieval, transport and transplant of kidney grafts causes ischaemia reperfusion injury. The …

Organ transplantation is undergoing profound changes. Contraindications for donation have
been revised in order to better meet the organ demand. The use of lower-quality organs and …

Background There remains a lack of consensus on the optimal storage method for deceased
donor kidneys. This meta‐analysis compares storage with hypothermic machine perfusion …

Importance Delayed graft function (DGF) is a risk factor for acute rejection and graft failure
after kidney transplant. Previous studies have suggested that dexmedetomidine may be …

Simple Summary In this study, we explore for the first time an innovative tool for organ
preservation aimed to preventing ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in marginal kidneys from …

Static cold storage (SCS) and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) are two primary
options for renal allograft preservation. Compared with SCS, HMP decreased the incidence …

Background Machine perfusion is an organ preservation strategy used to improve function
over simple storage in a cold environment. This article presents an updated systematic …

With increasing knowledge of immunologic factors and with the advent of potent
immunosuppressive agents, the last several decades have seen significantly improved …

Introduction: To match the current organ demand with organ availability from the donor pool,
there has been a shift towards acceptance of extended criteria donors (ECD), often …

Summary This retrospective multicenter (n= 18) cohort study evaluated the incidence, risk
factors, and the impact of delayed graft function (DGF) on 1‐year kidney transplant (KT) …
