Kidney transplant study using machine perfusion
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant
- You are receiving a kidney from a donor who is at least 60, or 50-59 with other health issues
- The kidney will be stored and transported using a special machine that pumps fluid through it
- You are having the transplant at a participating center in Germany
- You have signed a consent form to join

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 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 a new ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in transplanted kidneys and predict whether they will work well after surgery. Researchers will use special ultrasound imaging to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidney to help doctors understand why some transplants struggle in the first weeks after surgery.
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 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.
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.
