Endothelial Glycocalyx Damage in Brain Death Organ Donors

Endothelial Glycocalyx Status and Damage in Brain Death Organ Donors

The study aims the assessment of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) degradation in deceased organ donors. There is a lack of organs for the transplantation program. By the description of the EG status, we can open room for organ optimization before transplantation and improve the organ function after transplantation in marginal donors.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients in critical condition declared as brain dead by clinical examination

Exclusion Criteria:
