Because of the high demand of organs, the usage of marginal grafts has increased. These
marginal organs have a higher risk of developing ischemia-reperfusion injury, which can …

Background Despite the increasing number of biomarker studies published in the transplant
literature over the past 20 years, demonstrations of their clinical benefit and their …

The final decision to accept an organ for transplantation remains a subjective one. With

Although hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is associated with improved kidney graft
viability and function, the underlying biological mechanisms are unknown. Untargeted …

Kidney transplantation is the golden treatment for end-stage renal disease. Static cold
storage is currently considered the standard method of preservation, but dynamic …

The use of high-risk renal grafts for transplantation requires optimization of pretransplant
preservation and assessment strategies to improve clinical outcomes as well as to decrease …
