    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation Surgery
    • Organ Procurement

    Background:

    • Kidney transplantation is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • Organ wastage remains a significant challenge in maximizing transplant availability.
    • Optimizing organ procurement and preservation is essential for successful outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify critical factors influencing the wastage rate of procured kidneys.
    • To evaluate the impact of donor management and organ preservation techniques on kidney viability.
    • To improve the efficiency of the kidney procurement process.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 235 procured kidneys from 120 consecutive donors over 16 months.
    • Evaluation of donor management protocols during the brain death period.
    • Assessment of surgical techniques, including en bloc resection.
    • Analysis of cold ischemia time as a preservation factor.

    Main Results:

    • A low wastage rate of procured kidneys was achieved.
    • Careful donor management during brain death was identified as a key factor.
    • En bloc resection technique minimized damage to vascular structures and ureters.
    • Avoidance of prolonged cold ischemia contributed to reduced organ loss.

    Conclusions:

    • Meticulous donor management and optimized surgical procurement significantly reduce kidney wastage.
    • Minimizing cold ischemia time is critical for preserving kidney viability for transplantation.
    • These strategies enhance the utilization of procured kidneys, increasing transplant potential.
