Background: The isolated perfused porcine kidney (IPPK) model has been the method of
choice for the early preclinical evaluation of kidney graft preservation techniques. The …

The influence of erythrocytes and oxygen concentration on kidneys during long-term
normothermic kidney perfusion is under debate. This study compares acellular and …

Protection of grafts from ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains an important problem,
especially in uncontrolled donors. This study was performed to define the effect of …

Background. As warm ischaemic damage is a major reason for the loss of donor organs, an
experimental study was performed in order to evaluate retrograde oxygen persufflation …

INTRODUCTION: Mild or severe renal arterial occlusion is a phenomenon occasionally
observed in daily clinical practice, potentially leading to renal ischemia and a general …

Objective To compare kidney oxygenation profiles between partial and complete renal artery
clamping during nephron sparing surgery (NSS) in a porcine model. Materials and methods …

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 …

Background. The ideal preservation temperature for donation after circulatory death kidney
grafts is unknown. We investigated whether subnormothermic (22 C) ex vivo kidney machine …

Post-ischemic renal failure is associated with a zone of vascular hyperaemia in the outer
medulla of the kidney. The effect of this lesion on regional renal perfusion is, however …

Objective We have previously demonstrated benefits of kidney preservation utilizing an
oxygenated subnormothermic ex vivo perfusion platform. Herein, we aim to compare …
