Candida Contamination in Kidney and Liver Organ Preservation Solution: Does It Matter? [PDF]
Introduction: Fungal infections remain a major challenge affecting outcomes after kidney (KT) and liver transplantation (LT). Methods: In this retrospective single center study, the incidence of Candida contamination in renal and hepatic graft ...

Evaluation of the presence of microorganisms in solid-organ preservation solution. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE To assess the presence of microorganism contamination in the preservation solution for transplant organs (kidney/pancreas). METHOD Between August 2007 and March 2008, 136 samples of preservation solution were studied prior to graft ...

Effect of University of Wisconsin organ-preservation solution on haemorheology [PDF]
In conventional cold-storage organ preservation, the donor organ is flushed with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution at 0-4 degrees C. The initial flush is used to wash out blood from the microcirculation to allow optimal preservation with the UW solution. The component hydroxyethyl starch (HES) of UW is known to cause relatively high viscosity and a

Organ preservation using a photosynthetic solution [PDF]
BackgroundOrgans harvested from a body lapsing into circulatory deficit are exposed to low O2/high CO2, and reach a critical point where original functionality after transplantation is unlikely.

JS: I had finished a postdoctoral fellowship at the Enzyme Institute, University of Wisconsin, and was working there in a research position. I knew little about opportunities in organ preservation. Dr Belzer had recently (1974) become Chair of Surgery at

Background and Aims: In liver transplantation, cold preservation induces ischemia, resulting in significant reperfusion injury. Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HMP-O2) has shown benefits compared to static cold storage (SCS) by limiting ...

Background. Ischemia-reperfusion injury, including injury from warm- and cold-ischemia (CI) organ storage, remains a significant problem for all solid organ transplants.

Background Preventing ischemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major issue in kidney transplantation, particularly for transplant recipients receiving a kidney from extended criteria donors (ECD). The main consequence of IRI is delayed graft function (DGF).

Oxygen is the key molecule for aerobic metabolism, but no animal cells can produce it, creating an extreme dependency on external supply. In contrast, microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms, therefore, they are able to produce oxygen as plant cells

Ischemia–reperfusion injury is a key clinical problem of transplantology. Current achievements in optimizing organ rinse solutions and storage techniques have significantly influenced the degree of graft damage and its survival after transplantation.
