To assess the effect of Carolina rinse solution on the renal graft function after cold ischemic storage in the University of Wisconsin solution for 48 h, canine renal transplantation was performed. Survival rate was higher in the kidneys rinsed with Carolina rinse solution (4 of 5, 80%) than that of kidneys rinsed with lactate Ringer's solution (0 of 5, 0%). Postoperative serum creatinine level on day 2 was significantly lower in the Carolina group (3.48 +/- 0.47 mg/dl) than that in the Ringer group (5.60 +/- 0.68 mg/dl) (p < 0.01). All of the grafts in the Carolina group functioned immediately. Whereas, in the Ringer group, none of the grafts functioned postoperatively. Histologically, severe renal damage was observed in the kidneys perfused by lactate Ringer's solution. On the other hand, the damage to the grafts was minimal in the Carolina group. With immunohistochemical staining using factor-VIII-related antigen, the glomeruli were more severely damaged in the kidneys perfused by lactate Ringer's solution than by Carolina rinse solution. The present study showed that Carolina rinse solution was effective in the prevention of the kidney graft damage from reperfusion injury.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D004285	Dogs	The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)	Canis familiaris,Dog
D005260	Female		Females
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012996	Solutions	The homogeneous mixtures formed by the mixing of a solid, liquid, or gaseous substance (solute) with a liquid (the solvent), from which the dissolved substances can be recovered by physical processes. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)	Solution
D014021	Tissue Preservation	The process by which a tissue or aggregate of cells is kept alive outside of the organism from which it was derived (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism).

D014182	Transplantation, Autologous	Transplantation of an individual's own tissue from one site to another site.	Autografting,Autologous Transplantation,Autotransplantation,Autograftings,Autologous Transplantations,Autotransplantations,Transplantations, Autologous
D014841	von Willebrand Factor	A high-molecular-weight plasma protein, produced by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. The von Willebrand factor has receptors for collagen, platelets, and ristocetin activity as well as the immunologically distinct antigenic determinants. It functions in adhesion of platelets to collagen and hemostatic plug formation. The prolonged bleeding time in VON WILLEBRAND DISEASES is due to the deficiency of this factor.
