Brief Summary

Each year, only one third of patients registered on the waiting list receive a kidney transplant. Numerous paths are being explored with the aim of reversing this shortage. The first is to increase the number of organs by developing harvesting from donors in a state of brain-death (BD) termed "expanded criteria donors" or from patients deceased from circulatory arrest.

Another fundamental factor is to insure the success of the transplant by limiting the dysfunction of donor kidneys, marked by a delayed graft function (DFG).

The development of techniques to insure correct perfusion of harvested organs, and the optimization of reanimation and intensive care of brain-dead donors constitute important factors in DGF reduction.

Therapeutic Hypothermia could to be an attractive care strategy for BD patients.

GroupInterventionDescription
HT mild hypothermiaProcedure activeThe intervention will take place after information for donation and research has been explained . Organ donors in the intervention group will either be actively warmed or allowed to reach a body temperature of 34 °C-35°C, until transfer to the operating room.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
rate of patients with delayed graft function (DGF)Day 7

DGF is the recipient's requirement for dialysis during the first week after transplantation.

To show the interest of Targeted Temperature Management in order to optimize the functional recovery of transplanted kidney transplants by comparing 2 groups of recipient subjects: those receiving one Graft from an "expanded criteria donors" maintained in hypothermia (34°-35°) and those receiving a graft from an "expanded criteria donors" maintained in normothermia (36,5°-37,5°).
