Hypothermic storage of the canine kidney for 48 hours in a low chloride solution.
In studies of 52 dogs, kidneys were stored at zero degrees C. using a low chloride hypertonic intracellular solution. When stored for 24 hours, one-half of the kidneys resumed normal function upon reimplantation. With storage for 48 hours using a brief washout at 24 hours, up to 38 per cent of the reimplanted kidneys provided life sustaining function without azotemia.
