Normothermic Ex Vivo Kidney Perfusion for the Preservation of Kidney Grafts prior to Transplantation

Congelación parcial permite la preservación funcional de injertos renales hasta por 10 días
Abstract:
Kidney transplantation is critically limited by the shortage of available donor organs, exacerbated by the discarding of viable organs due to insufficient allocation time. Here, we demonstrate the application of nature-inspired partial freezing for long-term storage of kidney grafts. We show that, after 10 days of storage, partially frozen swine and human kidneys retain improved function compared to those preserved using traditional static cold storage, as assessed via simulated transplantation.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
