Researchers from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun conducted a study on delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant recipients, particularly those receiving organs from extended criteria donors (ECDs). The study utilized metabolomic and lipidomic profiling to identify compounds predicting DGF risk and assess the potential of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for early complication detection. The research highlights the translational potential of chemical biopsies and plasma metabolite analyses for risk assessments and monitoring of DGF, with the aim of improving post-transplant management for high-risk patients. The findings provide a foundation for developing a comprehensive method for assessing and monitoring DGF in clinical practice. [Extracted from the article]
