The French uncontrolled donors after circulatory death (DCD) protocol restricts donor age to <55 years, no-flow time to <30 minutes, and functional warm ischemia time to <150 minutes. In situ kidney perfusion can be performed at either 4°C (in situ cooling [ISC]) or 33-36°C (normothermic regional perfusion [NRP]). Hypothermic machine perfusion is systematically used. Only nonimmunized first transplant recipients were eligible. To improve the management of uncontrolled DCD, we tried to identify factors predictive of outcome.
