New solutions in organ preservation
Over the last 20 years, a number of methods and solutions have been developed to preserve donor organs for transplantation. Collins et al first introduced the simple cold-storage technique to store and transport kidneys up to 30 hours. The development of the University of Wisconsin cold-storage solution (UW-CSS) in 1986 improved organ preservation and ...

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).

Evaluation of the presence of microorganisms in solid-organ preservation solution
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 ...

Background Organ preservation before transplantation is still a challenge. Both the University of Wisconsin and Bretschneider’s histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK; Custodiol®) solution are standard for liver, kidney and pancreas preservation.

Comparative efficacy of Belzer or Euro-Collins solutions for pancreatic preservation during cold ischemic storage in rats [PDF]
PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of different types of solutions (Belzer or Euro-Collins) for the preservation of rat pancreas during cold ischemia.METHODS: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups according to the perfusion or storage solution:

Systematic research has led to continuing improvements in the solutions and techniques of preserving donated hearts. The persistent shortage of donors means that organs of lower quality are increasingly being accepted and we are turning more and more to machine perfusion of donated hearts.

Contamination of the Preservation Solution in Solid Organ Transplantation
Preservation solutions (PS), in which grafts for patients undergoing liver transplantation are stored, represent a medium suitable for microorganism growth and a potential source for transmission of pathogenic germs to the transplant recipients. The aim of the present study was to review the relevant literature for the incidence and predictors of ...
