Machine Perfusion and Mitigating Risk Factors for Delayed Graft Function in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This work looked at machine perfusion, a way of keeping a donor kidney supplied with fluid before transplant, in children. The goal was to lower the risk of the new kidney being slow to start working. It points to ways to protect young transplant patients, but it watches outcomes rather than running a controlled trial.
