Official Title: Activation of Coagulation Pathways in Clinical Renal Allotransplantation and Delayed Graft Function and Acute Rejection of the Graft

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate local activation of the coagulation system in the kidney graft during organ preservation and during early reperfusion in adult kidney transplantation. Generation of thrombin and fibrin as well as activation and inhibition of fibrinolysis will be investigated. Influence of these events on delayed graft function (DGF) and acute cell-mediated rejection will be evaluated.
