Abstract:
Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) is an important source of kidneys for kidney transplantation, but DCD kidney transplantation is associated with more complications, impacting the function of the transplanted kidney. Establishing a stable DCD kidney transplantation model in rats can help study the mechanisms of injury and complications prevention in DCD kidney transplantation. This review summarizes the current research status and progress in rat DCD kidney transplantation.
