Kidney Perfusion With or Without Absorption

In this single-center, pilot, prospective, randomized study, the investigators will compare the biochemical profiles of the perfusate and the functional parameters of five kidneys perfused with Integrated PerLife® system and "PerSorb ECOS-300CY ™" sorbent (adsorption groups) with the profiles of the perfusate and functional parameters of five matched kidneys perfused with Integrated PerLife® system only (non-adsorption group). Kidneys from marginal donors with a clinical indication to pre-transplant histological evaluation (donor \>70-years-old or aged 60 to 69 years but with hypertension, diabetes and/or clinical proteinuria) will be allocated to perfusion with or without adsorption using a 1:1 randomization ratio. When both donor kidneys will have a score from 0 to 4, the two kidneys will be used for two single transplants. When one kidney will have a score from 0 to 4 and the other kidney will have a score of 5 or more, and when both kidneys will have a score from 5 to 7, the two kidneys will be transplanted together into the same recipient. If one kidney will have a score from 5 to 7 and the other kidney will have a score of 8 or greater, the two kidneys will be discarded. With the use of the minimization method, the randomization will be planned in order to have the same number of single or dual transplants in the perfusion kidney groups with or without adsorption. Donor selection, kidney evaluation and allocation and recipient management will be based on per center practice.
