Normothermic Ex Vivo Kidney Perfusion for the Preservation of Kidney Grafts prior to Transplantation
Published on: July 15, 2015
Abstract:
On the basis of generalizing the principles of construction and of technical implementation of the extracorporeal blood-transport devices applied in artificial purification, which were described in the 1st part of the paper, mathematical models are suggested to calculate the stroke volume and the consumption of 2-roller perfusion pumps now used in hemodialysis. The above models were made use of to study the influence of the constructive and operational characteristics per consumption originated by the mentioned pumps.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
