For brain-dead organ donors, therapeutic hypothermia is inferior to machine perfusion of the kidneys for reducing delayed graft function after transplantation, according to a study published in the ...

Therapeutic hypothermia of donors didn't preserve kidney function as well as machine perfusion of the organ during cold storage, a randomized trial found. Compared with kidneys pumped with a ...

Hypothermia of brain-dead kidney donors and machine perfusion of the kidney can reduce delayed graft function, but whether hypothermia is as effective as machine perfusion is unclear. New research ...

A long-term follow-up study from a consortium of six European countries, coordinated by the department of Surgery of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) shows that, even 10 years after ...

"We have an available organ." Thousands of people never live long enough to hear those words. In fact, in the United States, 13 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant that never comes.
