Donation after circulatory death: current practices, ongoing challenges, and potential improvements.

TL;DR: Progress in research to identify, prevent, and repair DCD-associated organ retrieval injury should improve utilization of DCD organs and a significant increase in transplantable kidneys could be achieved by extension of the concept of living kidney donation in relation to imminent death of potential DCD donors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normothermic Perfusion in the Assessment and Preservation of Declined Livers Before Transplantation: Hyperoxia and Vasoplegia-Important Lessons From the First 12 Cases.

TL;DR: Avoidance of hyperoxia during perfusion may prevent postreperfusion syndrome and vasoplegia, and monitoring biliary pH, rather than absolute bile production, may be important in determining the likelihood of posttransplant cholangiopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Reduces Long Term Renal Graft Survival: Mechanism and Beyond

TL;DR: Clinical evidence and laboratory studies are reviewed, and critical analysis of previous publications indicates that early IRI does contribute to later graft loss through reduction of renal functional mass, graft vascular injury, and chronic hypoxia, as well as subsequent fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normothermic machine perfusion for the assessment and transplantation of declined human kidneys from donation after circulatory death donors

TL;DR: Ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion provides a unique opportunity to assess the quality of a kidney and determine its suitability for transplantation.

Association between delayed graft function and allograft and patient survival: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The results of this meta-analysis emphasize and quantify the long-term detrimental association between DGF and important graft outcomes like graft survival, acute rejection and renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organ Donation and Utilization in the United States, 1996–2005

TL;DR: Issues directly related to the organ donation process, including donor consent, donor medical suitability, non‐recovery of organs, organs recovered but not transplanted, expanded criteria donors (ECD), and donation after cardiac death (DCD), are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major effects of delayed graft function and cold ischaemia time on renal allograft survival

TL;DR: The results of this analysis of well-matched transplant recipients show that CIT and DGF are the most important predictors of poor short and long-term graft survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of kidney transplantation from expanded criteria donors.

TL;DR: ECD kidneys have worse long-term survival than standard criteria donor kidneys and patients younger than 40 years or scheduled for kidney retransplantation should not receive an ECD kidney, based on the available evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organ donation and utilization in the United States, 1999-2008: Special feature

TL;DR: The OPTN/UNOS Living Donor Transplant Committee restructured to enfranchise organ donors and recipients, and to seek their perspectives on living donor transplantation, and numbers of living donors from racial minorities remained unchanged.
