  • Title: The effect of length of preservation on renal transplant survival.
    Author: Seim SK, Maisel KE, Merkel FK.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1977 Nov; 145(5):709-13. PubMed ID: 333642.
    Abstract:
    Pulsatile preservation of cadaver kidneys for periods of 36 to 67 hours does not adversely affect the success rate following transplantation. Immediate urine output correlated well with an increased chance for short and long term transplant kidney function. No kidneys should be discarded because of perfusion periods as long as 36 to 67 hours if the ground rules for organ retrieval and preservation have been followed.
