Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Animal Models

Background:

  • Accurate physiological research requires well-preserved organ function.
  • Existing perfusion techniques may pose risks or lack precise control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, safe, and controlled in situ organ perfusion technique for rats.
  • To enable simultaneous or isolated perfusion of kidneys and liver.

Main Methods:

  • A minimally invasive surgical approach for in situ perfusion.
  • Precise control over perfusion pressure and temperature.
  • Cannulation of the bladder for urine collection.

Main Results:

  • Successful perfusion of single or multiple organs (kidneys, liver) in rats.

  • Demonstrated maintenance of tissue metabolic activity.
  • Effective urine collection post-perfusion.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a reliable method for in situ organ perfusion in rats.
    • It minimizes organ damage and ensures physiological relevance for research.
    • Facilitates studies on kidney and liver function and metabolism.
