Deceased Donor Kidney Storage at 10 Celsius Versus Conventional Storage
Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how storage temperature of deceased donor kidneys affects kidney function after transplant in adult patients receiving a kidney transplant. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do patients that receive a kidney transplant stored at 10 °C have improved post-transplant kidney function? Researchers will compare patients who receive kidneys stored at 10 °C versus kidneys stored at 4°C (on ice, i.e. conventional storage) to see if kidneys stored at 10 °C have improved function. Participants will: * Be made aware of and consent to receive a kidney transplant that had been stored at 10 °C * Have their urine collected 24 hours after surgery to be analyzed for research
