Kidney preservation failure using combined Collins' solution and plasma perfusion.

High levels of magnesium can reverse the anticoagulation of cryoprecipitated plasma (CPP), resulting in fibrin formation. When pig cadaver kidneys were flushed with Collins' C2 solution containing a high concentration of magnesium, clotting of CPP perfusate occurred when the CPP initial magnesium level was high, but not with low magnesium levels. Flushing with C2 and preservation with an albumin perfusate, or flushing with Ringer's solution before CPP perfusion, did not result in fibrin formation. Small amounts of heparin added to CPP did not prevent fibrin formation. C2-preserved kidneys should not be additionally preserved with CPP perfusion preservation without special consideration of magnesium levels.

In situ cadaver kidney perfusion: experimental and clinical studies.

Lactated Ringers and Collins C2 solutions were compared in different volumes for rapid intra-aortic in situ cooling of pig cadaver kidneys. Both solutions in large volumes caused renal damage when compared with ex vivo flushed controls, although C2 was less injurious. When used for in situ cooling of human cadaver kidneys in volumes less than 1,500 ml/kidney, the two solutions were comparable and did not cause injury when compared with controls. In situ cooling permitted longer excision time (cold ischemia) and is recommended for lessening warm ischemia time in selected cases.
