Brief summary

Our hypothesis is that the Waters Medical® pulsatile perfusion machine (RM 3) is a way to improve delayed graft function (DGF) in marginal grafts, and some perfusion profiles (flow, pressure, resistance index, venous effluent pH) are correlated with better recovery of renal function (without dialysis during the first week after transplant). Observation or Investigation Method Used : The study is multicenter, prospective, open, controlled and randomized:grafts are divided into two parallel groups: * group 1 corresponds to a conservation of grafts in static incubation * group 2 corresponds to conservation using a pulsatile perfusion machine Duration and Organizational Arrangements for Research : The total duration of the study is planned for 36 months. This duration includes: * an inclusion period that will last 24 months, * the follow-up of recipient patients from the day of transplantation until twelve months after the operation

Interventions

PROCEDUREStatic incubation

Kidneys in this group are conserved in University of Wisconsin (eg, UW, Belzer® or Viaspan®), IGL-1, or SCOT solution before being transplanted. .

PROCEDUREPulsatile perfusion

Kidneys in this group are placed in the pulsatile perfusion machine(RM 3) within two hours and should be kept there at least 6 hours and 8 hours if possible, before being transplanted

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Delayed graft function (DGF) rate defined as the need to resort to dialysis during the first week after transplantation. The main dialysis factors retained are hydrosodic and/or hyperkalemic overload.First week after transplantation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the recourse to dialysis3 months following transplantation
Evaluate the proportion of functional grafts (which allows for renal purification without recourse to dialysis)12 months after transplantation
Evaluate patient survival12 months after transplantation
Evaluate improvement in the glomerular filtering rate12 months after transplantation
Identify perfusion profiles of the machine, which predict regaining renal function (absence of dialysis during the week after transplantation) and graft survival12 months after transplantation
Evaluate the medico-economic impact of each conservation strategy in the management of patients who will benefit from marginal grafts12 months after transplantation
Stratify the analysis of regaining function and graft survival using Nyberg's classification in order to determine which risk groups would most benefit from pulsatile perfusion.12 months after transplantation
