Background. Brain death (BD) has been thought to influence the early course of transplanted organs by triggering a series of nonspecific inflammatory events that in turn may increase the kinetics and intensity of the immunological host responses. In this study early nonspecific, cellular, and molecular changes occurring in kidney isografts from ED donors are compared with those from normal anesthetized, ventilated controls.Methods, After induction of brain death, the animals were mechanically ventilated for 6 hr before organ removal. Only rats with stable blood pressure (mean arterial pressure >80 mmHg) were included. Serum creatinines were measured daily. Representative grafts were: harvested 6 hr after brain death and between 1 hr and 5 days after engraftment for morphology, immunohistology, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The presence of serum cytokines was assessed by enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay.Results. Serum creatinine levels rose slightly in recipients from ED donors. Serum interleukin-1 beta levels increased within 6 hr versus controls (P
