Progress has been made in investigating improvements and alternatives to cold
preservation. Promising therapeutic strategies have also been studied in the context of cold …

Correlation between post-transplant function and exposure to cold ischemia (CI) during
preservation has been reported. We attempted to identify the effect of CI on renal function …

Eur J Clin Invest 2011; 41 (3): 233–240 Abstract Background Cold ischaemic (CI) injury is
associated with reduced renal graft function and survival. However, there is little evidence …

Static cold storage is the most prevalent method for renal allograft preservation. Several
solutions have been designed to counteract the detrimental effects of cold ischemia and …

Machine perfusion after conventional cold storage is beneficial for ulterior function after
transplantation. Cold grafts should be initially perfused at low temperatures allowing for …

The use of high-risk renal grafts for transplantation requires the optimization of pretransplant
assessment and preservation reconditioning strategies to decrease the organ discard rate …

BACKGROUND: Restoring metabolism to an organ after hypothermic storage and before
transplantation could reverse some of the detrimental effects of ischemic injury. This may be …

Background. In a recent trial, targeted mild hypothermia in brain-dead organ donors
significantly reduced the incidence of delayed graft function after kidney transplantation. This …

Cold storage allows the effective utilization of organs retrieved for transplantation. However,
prolonged cold ischemia contributes to organ damage and increases patients' morbidity and …

Background. Ex vivo kidney perfusion is an evolving platform that demonstrates promise in
preserving and rehabilitating the kidney grafts. Despite this, there is little consensus on the …
