Impact of restrictive fluid balance focused to increase lung procurement on renal function after kidney transplantation

Abstract

We concluded that restrictive management of fluid balance in a multiorgan donor supports adequate perfusion to vital organ systems even with a CVP <6 mm Hg. A strict fluid balance could avoid volume overload and lung neurogenic oedema, increasing the rate of lung grafts available for transplant without impacting either kidney graft survival or DGF development.
