Perioperative-, Recipient-, and Donor-Related Factors Affecting Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS: Efforts should be focused on limiting cold ischemia time and associated injury to reduce occurrence of delayed graft function and consequently improve long-term graft survival in kidney transplant recipients. Optimization of posttransplant renal function with the help of new technologies, such as pulsatile perfusion, could be crucial for minimization of cold ischemia time.
