Abstract

Background. Kidneys stored hypothermically for transplantation show varying degrees of tissue injury, depending on the duration of preservation. The causes of injury are not entirely clear. We investigated the quality of renal functional recovery in canine kidneys after 72 h hypothermic preservation in custodiol solution or custodiol solution plus L-arginine.
