Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease, but it is still severely
limited by a lack of suitable organ donors. Kidneys from donation after circulatory death (…

Background. Clinical trials in renal transplantation must use surrogate markers of long-term
graft survival if conclusions are to be drawn at acceptable speed and cost. Morphologic …

… All biopsies were performed for cases of acute allograft dysfunction (creatinine rise of ≥30
μmol/L) or to monitor the response to antirejection treatment. The post-transplant drug …

Background. Normothermic perfusion is an alternative but little studied method of organ
preservation. Herein, we report the first case of ex vivo normothermic renal transplant perfusion …

Rapamycin is used frequently in both transplantation and oncology. Although historically
thought to have little diabetogenic effect, there is growing evidence of β-cell toxicity. This …

… The mean (SD) serum creatinine at 12 months was 179 (73) μmol/L in NHBD kidneys

Introduction Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) is a novel technique that reconditions
the kidney and restores renal function prior to transplantation. Phase I data from a series of …

Kidney transplantation is limited by hypothermic preservation techniques. Prolonged periods
of cold ischaemia increase the risk of early graft dysfunction and reduce long‐term survival. …
