title: [Comparison of UW solution and UR (a modified Collins) solution for renal preservation in renal transplantation].
abstract: For the storage of human transplanted organs, the benefit of "UW solution" has been proven especially in keeping a longer preservation time for the liver and pancrease; however, the value for kidney preservation was still debated. A total of 293 cases of renal transplantation were performed over 12 years in our hospital and 206 cases were cadaveric transplants. The latter ones were further divided into 3 groups, according to the immunosuppressive medication and preservation solution used. In the CsA treated groups, the ATN rates significantly decreased in those preserved with the UW solution than with the UR solution. Although the UW solution did not improve the graft survival in our series, it did save the cost for postoperative hemodialysis and shorten the hospital stay which made it cost effective.
