E-course: Update on renal graft preservation methods

The number of available donor kidneys for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is currently insufficient. Organised by the European School of Urology and the EAU Section of Transplantation Urology, this e-course will focus on the scientific and technical aspects of enhancing evaluation, preservation, repair, and optimisation of graft kidneys for improved organ utilisation.

DurationApprox. 60 minutes

Experts on kidney transplantation and preservation from various disciplines will discuss on current and future strategies for kidney ex vivo perfusion: hypothermic with and without oxygenation; Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) and its current state of technology; and the future on ex vivo preservation.

NMP has been developed in the last few years to preserve abdominal and thoracic organs for transplantation. Recent studies suggest that NMP may provide a superior alternative to standard hypothermic perfusion and cold storage for kidneys procured from donation after circulatory death (DCD). The use of NMP for renal grafts from DCD donors has been under investigation to assess and recondition these grafts.

Furthermore, the experts will discuss the potential future applications of NMP and new strategies on organ preservation. The following will be taken into consideration during the discussions:

  • How preservation will impact kidney transplant paradigms.
  • NMP of human kidneys: A platform for targeted therapies.

Speakers:

  • Dr. M. Musquera (ES)
  • Dr. V. Gomez Dos Santos (ES) 
  • Dr. S. Hosgood (GB)
  • Dr. J. Branchereau (FR)

This e-course is brought to you in collaboration with the EAU Section of Transplantation Urology.
