Preserving donor kidneys better before transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and listed for a kidney transplant.
- You will receive a kidney from a donor after circulatory death (a donor whose heart stopped before organ donation).
- You are not currently taking part in any other clinical trial involving drugs or medical devices.
- You are not receiving a combined transplant (kidney plus another organ) at the same time.
- The donor kidney must be considered suitable by the transplant surgeon and must remain in Sweden for allocation.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
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.
