Human cadaver kidney preservation using hypothermic hyperosmolar, intracellular washout solution. 1975

A G Diethelm, and W A Sterling, and C M Balch, and E C Clark

The utilization of a hypothermic, hyperosmolar, intracellular washout solution for human kidney preservation was shown to be successful in 18 kidneys obtained from 9 heart beating cadavers. The ischemic interval ranged from 2 hrs and 57 mins to 39 hrs and 48 mins. All 18 kidneys functioned within 3 hrs of revascularization. Acute tubular necrosis with oliguria was noted in 4 of 6 patients with ischemic intervals longer than 20 hrs but not in the 12 patients obtaining kidneys preserved for 19 hrs or less. All patients with acute tubular necrosis required hemodialysis for one to 16 days post-transplantation with eventual recovery.
