title: Kidney preservation with Collins' and Sachs' solution.
abstract: We suggest that the flush-out and short-term-storage solution (Brunius-Gelin) solution so far used in Scandinavia prior to continuous hypothermic perfusion, be replaced by Collins' C2 solution or Sachs' II solution. The question of which one of these should be preferred will need further elucidation. The advantages to be obtained by this change are several: increased simplicity and increased uniformity within our organ exchange organizations as well as the possibility of prolonging non-perfusion preservation periods, with savings in manpower and costs, and increasing simplicity and safety during organ transportation.
