title: Preservation of the ischaemic canine kidney with inosine.
abstract: Direct intra-renal perfusion of inosine was found to protect the canine kidney from 90 min of warm ischaemia. Significantly lower (P less than 0.01) serum creatinine levels were found 24 and 72 h post-operatively in an inosine treated group (N = 12) when compared to a control group (N = 5). Histological examination of the pre-treated kidneys confirmed the protective effect of inosine.
