Kidney preservation with or without machine perfusion
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of preserving kidneys from older or less healthy donors before transplant – one using a machine that pumps fluid through the kidney, and one without. It may help improve how well these kidneys work after transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are able to receive a kidney from an older donor (over 60–70) or one with health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
- The donor kidney needs to have been checked with a biopsy, and the damage score must be 7 or less.
- You must give written consent to join the study.
- You do not have any health issues that would make a kidney transplant unsafe (like high immune risk or blood vessel problems).
- You cannot be taking part in other research studies at the same time.

This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
This study tests a special way to keep and treat a donated kidney using a machine before it’s transplanted. The goal is to improve transplant outcomes for certain people on the kidney transplant waiting list.
This trial tests a machine method that keeps a donated kidney working “outside the body” so it may be better repaired before transplant. It is designed for certain first/second kidney transplants using specific donor types and storage methods.
This trial compares two ways of preserving kidneys from donors after cardiac death before transplanting them into recipients. One method uses a machine that pumps oxygenated fluid through the kidney (called NRP), and the other uses the same method plus an additional oxygen treatment (HMPO2). The goal is to see if the extra treatment improves kidney function after transplant.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
This study tests a special cold storage solution and machine to keep donated kidneys healthy before they are transplanted. It may help the kidneys work better after surgery.
