Study Results: Centralized Normothermic Preservation and Assessment Center Used to Rescue Kidneys
The study found 94 of 104 declined kidneys were transplanted after centralized assessment, with 6-month graft function comparable to standard cases.
- On Monday, 34 Lives, PBC released study results in the American Journal of Transplantation demonstrating a 90% rescue rate for previously declined donor kidneys using centralized perfusion technology.
- More than 9,000 recovered kidneys went unused in 2024, representing a 30% nonuse rate as geographic barriers and logistical constraints push cold ischemic times beyond the standard 24-hour limit.
- Using Normothermic Machine Perfusion , researchers assessed 104 kidneys, measuring viability through the Hosgood score to evaluate renal flow, urine output, and macroscopic perfusion quality.
- Despite median cold ischemia times of 37.6 hours versus 22.1 hours, the NMP cohort demonstrated a 26.3% delayed graft function rate compared to 60.2% in control groups.
- According to Chris Jaynes, 34 Lives CEO and study Principal Investigator, these findings suggest NMP may have a promising role in ensuring no donated kidney is left behind.
