Hypothermic machine perfusion prevents hyperacute graft loss in pig-to-primate kidney xenotransplantation after 5-hours of cold Ischemia - Communications Medicine Hisadome et al. compare the impact of static cold storage or hypothermic machine perfusion of kidneys that are xenotransplanted from pig to primate. Hypothermic machine perfusion reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury, so may help prevent early xenograft failure.

🚨 NEW RESEARCH! ⚕️ 🩺

Hisadome et al. find that kidneys preserved with hypothermic machine perfusion methods are more effective than standard methods (on ice) for #kidneytransplants.
