Because of the global shortage of donor kidneys, xenotransplantation emerges as a potential solution for individuals with kidney failure who face challenges in securing a suitable donor kidney. A study featured in this month's issue of Kidney International assesses the kidney physiology of a porcine kidney transplanted into a brain-dead human with kidney failure, demonstrating life-sustaining physiological function for 7 days. Together with preclinical nonhuman primate studies, decedent models provide complementary data for development of clinical kidney xenotransplantation.
