ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate hydrodynamic, biochemical, and histological consequences of hypothermic isolated renal perfusion using a new computerized perfusion system. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The device that allowed us to obtain on renal hydrodynamics during perfusion included multiple parts. The organ was perfused at 4 degrees C with a constant flow either using a classic roller pump or a pump designed in our laboratory to employ vacuum or atmospheric pressure sequentially to achieve a truly pulsatile wave (vacuum-powered tubular pump). The study included 16 minipigs with Eurocollins or Belzer perfusion solutions sampled at predefined interval and histological studies of the organs performed.RESULTS:
There was a significant difference in weight increase between the two types of pumps; those perfused with Eurocollins showed greater values than those with Belzer solution. Onset of nitric oxide (NO) in the perfusion solution increased inversely with the renal vascular resistance. The highest NO levels were observed with the Belzer solution and vacuum pump.CONCLUSIONS:
Changes in renal hydrodynamics, as induced by perfusion wave form and solution type, may be recorded in real time using a computerized system. A vacuum pump with the Belzer solution achieved the best experimental results.
