Effect of BM-MSCs in DCD Kidney Transplantation
Kidney Transplantation, Acute Kidney Tubular Necrosis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Kidney Transplantation focused on measuring kidney transplantation, mesenchymal stem cell, donation after citizen's death, ischemia reperfusion injury, renal function recovery

Arm 2
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
MSCs group
Control group
Allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (10^6/kg) from third party donors is intravenously given at day 0 (after renal artery reperfusion), day 7, day 14 and day 21.Induction therapy: ATG or Basiliximab; Maintenance therapy: low-dose Tacrolimus + mycophenolic acid + prednisone. The third-party MSCs have no similar HLA alleles of kidney donors, and have no HLA alleles specific to preformed anti-HLA antibodies in recipients prior to KTx.
Placebo (saline) is intravenously given at day 0 (after renal artery reperfusion), day 7, day 14 and day 21. Induction therapy: ATG or Basiliximab; Maintenance therapy: low-dose Tacrolimus + mycophenolic acid + prednisone.
