Global study of deceased donor kidney use
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Kidneys come from donors who died from brain death or circulatory death
- Donation occurred between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2025
- Kidneys were recovered (taken from the donor) for transplant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial collects and stores health information and samples related to kidney transplants from both donors and recipients. It may help researchers better understand transplant outcomes and improve care in the future.
This study collects blood and leftover donor samples from kidney transplant recipients who need a biopsy. The goal is to improve monitoring after transplant.
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 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 tests whether giving a special mix of donor immune cells along with immune-suppressing medicines right after a kidney transplant can help the body accept the new kidney without long-term anti-rejection drugs. It aims to reduce the need for daily transplant medications.
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
