How organ donor care before surgery affects kidney transplant success
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether special care given to brain-dead organ donors before their kidneys are removed helps the kidneys work better after they are transplanted into recipients. It reviews data from transplants done at Strasbourg University Hospital between 2018 and 2023.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older) to take part.
- If you are an organ donor, you must be brain dead and in intensive care at Strasbourg University Hospital.
- Your kidneys must be transplanted to a patient at Strasbourg University Hospital.
- As a kidney recipient, you must have received a kidney from a brain-dead donor at Strasbourg University Hospital.
- You (or your legal representative) cannot have said no to your data being used for research.
- You cannot have received a kidney from a living donor or a donor who died from a cause other than brain death.

This study looks at why families of brain-dead patients or those who will be taken off life support decide against organ donation. It aims to improve how hospitals talk to families about donation.
This study examines all kidneys donated from deceased donors (brain death or circulatory death) between 2010 and 2025 to understand how they are used for transplantation. It may help improve future transplant practices.
This study looks at how well kidney transplants work from both living and deceased donors. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes for people who get a new kidney.
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.
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 review looks at results for kidney donors and recipients who had kidney transplant surgery done either by hand-assisted or robotic methods. It aims to understand how these surgical approaches affect donor and recipient outcomes.
