Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography-based renal blood perfusion in brain-dead donors predicts early graft function

Purpose The aim of this study was to quantify renal microcirculatory perfusion in braindead donors using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), and to establish an accurate, noninvasive, and convenient index for predicting delayed graft function (DGF) post-transplantation. Methods In total, 90 br...
