  • Title: Regional program for kidney preservation and transplantation in New England.
    Author: Cho SI, Olsson CA, Bradley JW, Nabseth DC.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1976 Apr; 131(4):428-33. PubMed ID: 773199.
    Abstract:
    From July 1972 to March 1975, 431 cadaver kidneys were harvested and preserved by continuous pulsatile perfusion with cryoprecipitated human plasma. Forty-eight per cent of the transplanted kidneys were considered to have immediate function, another 48 per cent demonstrated acute tubular necrosis, and 4 per cent were classified as nonfunctioning. There was no difference in the incidence of acute tubular necrosis in relation to the total preservation time. There was a significant difference in the survival of primary cadaver grafts at six months and one year between the kidneys that demonstrated immediate function and those with acute tubular necrosis.
