Successful use of deceased donors with medically complex kidneys.
Transplant Rev (Orlando)
January 2025
Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, United States of America.
The number of patients waiting for kidney transplants from deceased organ donors continues to increase. In this context, non-transplantation of acceptable kidneys is especially regrettable. Here, we review successful transplantation of deceased donor kidneys with anatomic abnormalities, intrinsic kidney diseases, and other ostensibly problematic conditions.

This study aims to explore the concept of liminality in the lives of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in Turkiye who are undergoing dialysis while awaiting kidney transplants. The research focuses on how patients experience this transitional state, being between life stages, and how they cope with the uncertainty of their condition while aspiring for a transplant. The research involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews and participant observations of 34 dialysis patients who had been registered on the national organ waiting list for over five years.

Nonoxidative ethanol metabolites have been reported as ethanol biomarkers in clinical and forensic cases. However, their forensic toxicokinetics are still unclear. The study aimed to simultaneously research the postmortem distribution and dynamic distribution of ethanol and its nonoxidative metabolites in 62 poisoned rabbits.

Departamento de Cardiologia, Hospital Dr. Nélio Mendonça, Funchal, Portugal.
Anaesthesia for kidney transplant in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation is a real challenge given the need for judicious haemodynamic management to avoid pulmonary oedema and maximise reperfusion of the transplanted organ. This is the first experience described in the literature of continuous spinal anaesthesia in a patient with chronic severe mitral regurgitation undergoing cadaver donor kidney transplant. Transthoracic echocardiography monitoring was used during the procedure to avoid aggravating the patient's mitral regurgitation.

Methods: Resected organs (heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, small intestine, bladder, and external carotid artery) from slaughtered pigs for medical research were perfused with saline solution, flash-frozen in a deep freezer, and thawed naturally on the morning of training.
