Protective effect of allopurinol in renal ischemia. 1976

S N Chatterjee, and T V Berne

We have confirmed earlier findings that treatment with allopurinol offers some protection to the kidney from ischemic damage caused by total interruption of renal circulation. With this evidence, a clinical trial is warranted, particularly when periods of warm ischemia are unavoidable.
