Delayed graft function (DGF) does not harm the results of controlled donation-after-cardiovascular death (DCD) in kidney transplantation.

transplanted and all animals survived the length of the study. Two kidneys were allocated to the CI group, and two in the immediate transplantation (IT) group. On postoperative day four, Serum Cr and BUN were 2.7±0.3mg/dL and 16.5±0.5mg/dL in the CI group, and 2.0±0.45mg/dL and 14.5±0.5mg/ dL in the IT group respectively. 4-hour CrCl in the CI group was 19.3±0.77 mL/min and UPro 763±63 mg/dL. In the IT group, CrCl was 34.1±2.85 mL/ min, and UPro 114.3±29.3mg/dL Conclusion: ECS can be used with thrombolytics to adequately resuscitate organs prior to transplantation in nonanticoagulated (uncontrolled) DCD after 60 minutes of warm ischemia, and result in functional organs. Cold ischemia may be detrimental to DCD organs after procurement.
