Severe hypothermia is standard for organ preservation but limits functional evaluation. Warmer temperature preservation (above 20°C) is proposed for prospective organ assessment, especially for non-heart-beating donors.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation medicine
  • Organ preservation science

Background:

  • Severe hypothermia has been the cornerstone of clinical organ preservation for decades.
  • While effective for heart-beating donors, hypothermia limits prospective functional evaluation of organs.
  • The rise of non-heart-beating donors necessitates alternative preservation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the feasibility of warm organ preservation for prospective functional assessment.
  • To review historical attempts and current status of kidney preservation at warmer temperatures.
  • To discuss future strategies for enhanced organ resistance to ischemic damage.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and current organ preservation techniques.
  • Analysis of temperature-dependent organ function inhibition.

  • Discussion of emerging technologies for warm preservation.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypothermia inhibits kidney function below 18°C, indicating a need for preservation above 20°C.
    • Previous warm preservation attempts have faced challenges but show promise.
    • Future developments aim to enable prospective functional testing and improve ischemic resistance.

    Conclusions:

    • Warm preservation offers a pathway to prospective organ evaluation, crucial for non-heart-beating donors.
    • Advancements in preservation technology are key to realizing the benefits of warmer temperatures.
    • Optimized warm preservation can enhance graft viability and reduce ischemic injury.
