Abstract Summary
Machine perfusion preservation of kidneys from cardiac death donors reduces delayed graft function by 44% compared to static cold storage, according to a meta-analysis of four randomized trials. However, both methods showed similar outcomes for primary non-function and one-year survival rates.
Why Brain? ðŸ§
Machine perfusion reduces delayed graft function in cardiac death donor kidneys compared to cold storage, though long-term outcomes remain similar, offering a strategy to improve marginal organ use.
