Background: The shortage of kidneys for renal transplantation has prompted renewed interest in non-heart-beating donors (NHBD). While this may increase the number of transplants, it also increases the primary non-function (PNF) rate. This is caused by excessive warm ischaemic injury in some NHBD, an...
