Renal and Urinary Tract Therapeutic Procedures

Insufficient availability of organs from brain dead (DBD) and living donors has necessitated increased use of less than optimal organs from donation after cardiac death (DCD) or from extended criteria donors. Preservation of DCD organs using the current clinically applied preservation solutions is associated with up to 73% incidence of delayed graft function, highlighting the need for new preservation solutions designed to improve early graft function. Omnisol is expected to result in equivalent or improved kidney preservation as compared to currently marketed organ preservation solutions used for HMP.
