Abstract
A case is described where both kidneys from non-heart-beating (expanded criteria) donors were dual transplanted ipsilaterally. Although both kidneys passed viability tests on the Newcastle machine preservation system and biomarkers' evaluation, there were logistical issues where the cold ischaemic time was too protracted necessitating the transplantation of both kidneys into one recipient. The recipient had satisfactory outcome with the Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance of 72.47 (36.29 ml/min individual kidney glomerular filtration rate) suggesting beneficial use of sub-optimal organs to improve outcome.
