Improving preservation techniques to minimize injury is of particular importance in organs
from marginal donors. Since the introduction of transplantation and routine use of …

Canine kidneys were briefly perfused with Ross and Marshall's hypertonic citrate solution
and stored at 0 C. This study concerns the effect, during such storage, of insufflating various …

Gaseous oxygen perfusion of the stored kidney provides life-supporting renal function in
canine kidneys damaged by 30 min of warm ischaemia followed by cold storage for a total of …

We reviewed the evidence for ex-vivo Supplemental Oxygen during Hypothermic
preservation (SOH) for deceased donor kidneys. Bibliographic databases were searched for …

Although kidney oxygen tensions are heterogenous, and mostly below renal vein level, the
nephron is highly dependent on aerobic metabolism for active tubular transport. This …

Vascular perfusion of gaseous oxygen has been used to prolong the in vitro survival of a
number of isolated organs, and has been shown to improve the hypothermic preservation of …

The current shortage of cadaveric kidneys may be alleviated to some degree by increasing
our capabilities to use less than ideal donor-kidneys, such as those from non-heart-beating …

Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) has a significant impact on kidney transplantation
outcome. One of the underlying pivotal mechanisms is organ preservation and associated …

Hypothermia has represented the foundation of organ preservation, since it was
demonstrated that hypothermia reduces the metabolic needs of an organ. At approximately …

Static cold storage (SCS) and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) are currently standard
methods for renal grafts clinical preservation. Both methods are predominantly implemented …
