Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).

Oxygenated hypothermic perfusion was also evaluated focusing on its potential benefits on cell metabolism and graft immungenicity.

Abstract

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Donor availability is lower than demand, therefore suboptimal grafts retrieved from donors after brain death with expanded criteria donors (EC-DBD) and from donors after cardiac death (DCD) are in-creasingly used. These organs carry a higher risk of worse clinical outcomes, and subsequently need more advanced preservation systems than static cold storage (SCS). Hypothermic perfusion represents one of the aforementioned strategies.This review summarizes the main features of hypothermic perfusion: its mechanism of action through analysis of preclinical models and its clinical ef-ficacy in kidney transplantation with a focus on marginal donors. Oxygenated hypothermic perfusion was also evaluated focusing on its potential benefits on cell metabolism and graft immungenicity. Finally, as hypothermic perfu-sion not only allows to recover marginal grafts, but may also recondition grafts unsuitable for transplantation, the possible methods of graft evalu-ation and treatment options during perfusion are described in this review.
