Abstract
The association between prolonged donor warm ischemia time and poor early graft function has been challenged, but with little evidence. We intend to remove ambiguities and present evidence from the current literature. All donor surgeons must strive to limit warm ischemia to reduce poor early graft function and improve long-term outcomes.
