Abstract:
PBS140 offers good cold preservation in renal transplantation and now, crucially, has been shown to promote immediate function following warm ischemia. For a new cold preservation solution to compete with UW solution, improved efficacy and lower price may not be enough. Reducing rates of delayed graft function in organs from non-heart-beating and marginal donors might be the key.
