The use of C1INH (Berinert) in patients receiving deceased donor kidney transplants with high risk for delayed graft function (DGF) may show significant improvement in outcomes post transplant compared with patients that do not receive C1INH treatment. Complement activation has been detected in animal models and human kidneys with ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) and inflammatory cell infiltrates. By blocking complement activation the investigators hope to improve kidney graft function post transplant in these recipients.
