- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome measure will be the logistic challenges in including<br /><br>patients and treatment with normothermic ex vivo kidney perfusion (e.g. failed<br /><br>perfusion procedures, renal artery or vein thrombosis, participation rate).</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>1. Renal histology at start and end of normothermic perfusion<br /><br>2. Measured glomerular filtration rate * the best surrogate of graft function *<br /><br>(first 4 weeks, 3-months post-transplant), which is considered to be a<br /><br>predictor of long term kidney graft survival as well.<br /><br>3. 3-month graft (censored and uncensored for recipient death) and patient<br /><br>survival<br /><br>4. Incidence and severity of delayed graft function defined as the need for<br /><br>dialysis within the first 7 days after kidney transplantation and preceding the<br /><br>return of kidney function. *<br /><br>5. Incidence of primary non-function (PNF) defined as the permanent lack of<br /><br>function of the graft from time of transplantation until months<br /><br>post-transplant. This endpoint is determined post-hoc at 3 months<br /><br>post-transplant. *<br /><br>6. Biopsy proven acute rejection within 3 months post-transplant. </p><br>
