This study is looking at whether storing deceased donor kidneys at 10°C using the Traferox XPort device improves how well the kidney works after a transplant. Currently, kidneys are typically stored at 4°C (on ice). Researchers want to see if the warmer storage temperature leads to better kidney function. You could be eligible if you are an adult (18 years or older) on the kidney transplant waiting list at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The main goal is to see if patients who receive a kidney stored at 10°C have better kidney function, measured by a urine test (Urine NGAL) the day after surgery. The study aims to enroll 30 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 30 adult participants. It compares kidney function in patients receiving kidneys stored at 10°C versus those stored at 4°C.

What's involved

If you participate, you will receive a kidney transplant that was stored at 10°C. Your urine will be collected 24 hours after surgery for analysis.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your kidney function will be assessed by a urine test collected the day after your kidney transplant.
