title: Study of glomerular and tubular function after in situ cooling of the kidney.
abstract: Ischemia of the kidney for 3 hours at a temperature of 16 to 18C will only impair renal function to a minimal degree measured by glomerular (51Cr ethylenediaminetetracetic acid) and tubular (125I hippuran) clearances. A newly developed device for surface cooling is described. The technique of clinical in situ surface cooling is recommended whenever an ischemia time for more than 10 minutes is expected.
