RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Few procedures involve the ischemia-reperfusion injury to organs purposely. Two clear examples in urologic surgery consist on kidney transplantation and partial nephrectomies. RECENT FINDINGS: Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that is commonly used in partial nephrectomies and kidney transplantation to increase renal blood flow and decrease warm-ischemia-related renal injury to preserve estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We review the current evidence for the use of mannitol and its effects on these procedures.
