Abstract
Pulsatile pump perfusion of kidney transplants is known to decrease delayed graft function (DGF) and improve 1 year graft survival when compared to static cold preservation. Kidneys with better flow and resistance parameters on perfusion are likely to have a better post transplant function. These parameters are commonly used to evaluate kidneys being considered for transplantation. This study assesses the time frame for a kidney within which it reaches optimal perfusion parameters. All kidneys pumped between 5/2006 and 9/2009 on a Lifeport
