Normothermic Ex Vivo Kidney Perfusion Improves Early DCD Graft Function Compared With Hypothermic Machine Perfusion and Static Cold Storage

Abstract

NEVKP storage significantly improved early kidney function compared with both cold preservation strategies, although HAMP also demonstrates improvement over SCS. NEVKP may represent a novel, superior preservation option for donation after circulatory death renal grafts compared with conventional hypothermic methods.
