title: The donor kidney: III. Angio-architecture and function of the reimplanted kidney.
abstract: In the autogenous kidney preserved under conditions of hypothermia the development of a partial no-reflow phenomenon is unavoidable after reimplantation. The phenomenon is ascribed to ischaemic lesions induced by preservation. The consequences are functional disorders in the acute period (temporarily pathologic angiogram, nephrogram and proteinuria) and scars due to chronic focal necrosis. These unavoidable changes of the current preservation procedures are mostly of subclinical importance.
