The purpose of this study is to determine if eculizumab is safe and could be used to prevent Delayed Graft Function (DGF) following kidney transplantation. DGF is an early complication of kidney transplantation. This condition occurs when the transplanted kidney does not recover instantly after transplantation and can take days to weeks before recovering fully.This study will be conducted in approximately 70 kidney transplant centers in about 8 countries around the world. About 15 subjects will be enrolled here at Columbia University Medical Center.
