Transplantation of kidneys from donation after cardiocirculatory death (DCD) donors is becoming an ever-increasing reality. So far, biopsy histologic assessment is the main parameter for evaluation of graft suitability, but it has several drawbacks and has poor reliability. The aim of this study is to verify if real-time renal resistance (RR) measurement during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) can be used as a reliable parameter to evaluate the quality of grafts from DCD and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) donors.

Abstract
Transplantation of kidneys from donation after cardiocirculatory death (DCD) donors is becoming an ever-increasing reality. So far, biopsy histologic assessment is the main parameter for evaluation of graft suitability, but it has several drawbacks and has poor reliability. The aim of this study is to verify if real-time renal resistance (RR) measurement during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) can be used as a reliable parameter to evaluate the quality of grafts from DCD and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) donors.File in questo prodotto:
