Commentary: Machine Perfusion of Kidneys Protects Against Delayed Graft Function – HealthDay

Commentary with video on Twitter

Hypothermia of brain-dead kidney donors and machine perfusion of the kidney can reduce delayed graft function, but whether hypothermia is as effective as machine perfusion is unclear. New research findings are summarized in a short video. https://t.co/mL0YQZYoK1 pic.twitter.com/ANnJl27mkl
