ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of donor kidneys provides the opportunity to assess and improve organ viability prior to transplantation. This study explored the necessity of an oxygen carrier during NMP and whether the hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC-201) is a suitable alternative to red blood cells (RBCs).METHODS:
Porcine kidneys were perfused with a perfusion solution containing either no-oxygen carrier, RBCs, or HBOC-201 for 360 min at 37°C.RESULTS:
Renal flow and resistance did not differ significantly between groups. NMP without an oxygen carrier showed lower oxygen consumption with higher lactate and aspartate aminotransferase levels, indicating that the use of an oxygen carrier is necessary for NMP. Cumulative urine production and creatinine clearance in the RBC group were significantly higher than in the HBOC-201 group. Oxygen consumption, injury markers, and histology did not differ significantly between these two groups. However, methemoglobin levels increased to 45% after 360 min in the HBOC-201 group.CONCLUSIONS:
We conclude that HBOC-201 could be used as an alternative for RBCs, but accumulating methemoglobin levels during our perfusions indicated that HBOC-201 is probably less suitable for prolonged NMP. Perfusion with RBCs, compared to HBOC-201, resulted in more favorable renal function during NMP.
