title: [Experimental renal preservation units: is this activity necessary in Spain?].
abstract: Renal graft preservation research is considered complementary but at the same time important activity in high-quality Kidney Transplant Programs. It provides information on limitations of kidneys to be transplanted and to discard those organs with high probability of failure. Unification of criteria in the selection of organs is essential. We think that this activity should be encouraged by Health Institutions although requires investment in staff and technology.
