Freely downloadable paper shows biomarker dynamics vary between hypothermic (HMPO₂) and normothermic (NMP) perfusion in kidney transplants. Some biomarkers align across methods, but NMP provides key insights into function and reconditioning potential tinyurl.com/35tdhj2s

Refusal patterns matter! Kidneys turned down by multiple patients pre–cross-clamp face a 35% nonutilization rate. New data from 2022–23 shows how understanding these patterns could improve allocation and reduce wasted organs. #OpenAccess #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/58jt6n6f

🦠 When do you think fever is of infection in origin? ⁉️ Can we rule out all infections all the times? Say some hidden TB or a very timid virus. We need more markers. #ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores
