Improving Kidney Transplant Outcomes Using Normothermic Machine Perfusion [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Kidneys donated for transplantation are at risk of damage that prevent the organ from working and reduce its lifespan. Normothermic machine perfusion is a device that can circulate oxygenated blood at normal body temperature through a donor kidney prior to transplantation. In doing so it is able to resuscitate the kidney and prevent injury. We will determine how machine perfusion achieves this remarkable effect and investigate new treatments for kidney injury.
