Early events in kidney donation: progression of endothelial activation, oxidative stress and tubular injury after brain death.
Cerebral injury leading to brain death (BD) causes major physiologic derangements in potential organ donors, which may result in vascular-endothelial activation and affect posttransplant graft function. We investigated the kinetic of pro-coagulatory and pro-inflammatory endothelial activation and th...
