title: [Renal preservation: comparative effectiveness of 2 simple perfusion technics].
abstract: The authors compare the efficacy of two perfusates, Collins' solution and Perfudex, for conservation of kidneys for short periods by perfusion and hypothermic immersion. 22 dog kidneys, removed by lombotomy, were preserved for 24 hours with one or other of these solutions and then re-implanted into their host. Radio-isotopic renography, the uptake of Hg 197 Cl3 and a hippuran renogram, used to assess the function of the transplants, suggested the functional superiority of kidneys preserved with Collins solutions. Histological controls carried out beyond the 10 th post-operative week, confirmed these results. The correlations observed between these various findings also assessed the reliability of radio-isotope examinations in the exploration of renal function.
