What this Trial Is About
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a concept where remotely induced ischemia produces protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in a remote organ. RIPC has been studied extensively in animal models and heart surgery, but it's benefit in transplantation has been studied less. The primary aim of this study is to find out whether RIPC performed in a donor in donation after brain-death (DBD) could improve delayed graft function rate of kidney transplants.
