72-HR CANINE KIDNEY PRESERVATION WITHOUT CONTINUOUS PERFUSION

Abstract
A new flushing solution consisting of electrolytes and mannitol provided successful 3 day canine kidney preservation evidenced by immediate life-supporting renal function. The solutions described by Sacks and Collins failed to achieve this prolonged renal storage but were successful in storing canine kidneys for 2 days. This relatively simple new hypertonic solution does not require additives and was successfully used in clinical [human] renal transplantation.
