Growing Evidence for Subnormothermia for Graft Recovery in Donation After Circulatory Death Kidney Transplantation
Key takeaways
This discusses keeping donor kidneys slightly cool, below body temperature, before a transplant. The goal is to help kidneys from donors who have died recover better. The authors say the evidence is growing, but this piece reviews ideas rather than reporting a new trial. There are no new results here yet.
