Description
Concepcion and colleagues survey how transplant centers use cold machine perfusion for donor kidneys in this 2026 study. Hypothermic machine perfusion pumps chilled fluid through a deceased donor kidney during storage, improving early results over simple cold storage and giving rough clues about organ quality. The team invited surgeons, kidney specialists, and coordinators to describe their practices and concerns.
Respondents came from 88 centers handling 63 percent of 2024 transplant volume, and nearly all were surgeons. Over 90 percent agreed perfusion helps judge kidneys, cuts delayed graft function, and eases scheduling. The commonest barrier was refusal by organ procurement organizations, cited by 58 percent, and three-quarters said those organizations exclusively run the pumps. Acceptable flow and resistance cut-offs varied widely between centers.
