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 collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
This trial checks whether a special preservation machine (called machine perfusion) can predict how well a donated kidney will work after transplant. Participation helps doctors better match kidneys to patients and improve transplant success.
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 study tests whether a newer method of preserving donor kidneys (called HMPO2 with NRP) can improve outcomes compared with the standard NRP method alone. If you are getting a kidney from a donor after circulatory death, this could help your transplant succeed.
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.
