The current shortage of transplantable organs has renewed interest in kidneys obtained from non-heart-beating donors. Kidneys from these donors have suffered warm ischemia (WI). The effectiveness of two preservation solutions, i.e., the University of Wisconsin (UW) and the histidine tryptophan ketoglutarate (HTK) solutions, for preservation of kidneys that have been subjected to WI was tested in dogs. The left kidney was autotransplanted after 30 min of WI, and subsequent 24-hr cold storage (CS) in either UW (n = 6) or HTK (n = 6), with immediate contralateral nephrectomy. Surgical biopsies from the cortex were taken before WI, after 30 min of WI, after 24 hr of CS, and after 1 hr of reperfusion for electron microscopy and for analysis of energy metabolites. At 2 weeks after transplantation in the UW group, 4 out of 6 and, in the HTK group, 1 out of 6 dogs survived. As from day 2, serum creatinine was lower in the UW group as compared with the HTK group (P < 0.05). After 24 hr of CS, in the HTK group the luminal membranes of proximal tubular cells were partly denuded of microvilli. Moreover, the tubular lumen was filled with blebs and debris. In the UW group, the brush borders remained intact, although microvilli were swollen. Energy metabolites were analyzed with HPLC. Thirty minutes of WI resulted in a +/- 45% reduction of total adenine nucleotide (TAN) content. During CS, TAN levels further decreased in both groups; however, after 24 hr of CS, the levels of adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine were significantly higher in the UW group as compared with the HTK group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.01). At 1 hr of reperfusion, TAN levels were higher in the UW group as compared with the HTK group (4.66 +/- 0.16 vs. 4.02 +/- 0.28, P < 0.05). Our results show that UW is a superior solution compared with HTK in the preservation of ischemically damaged kidneys, demonstrating better survival, better recovery of kidney function, better protection against ischemia-induced ultrastructural damage, and better preservation of energy metabolism indicated by (a faster) regeneration of TAN levels after reperfusion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER. Kidney Tubule,Tubule, Kidney,Tubules, Kidney
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin
