A report of the eurotransplant randomized multicenter study comparing kidney graft preservation with HTK, UW and EC solutions. HTK study group.
Special attention has been focused in this randomized study on the primary function of renal allografts preserved with different solutions. Histidine-Tryptophane-Ketoglutarate (HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions provided a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function compared to Euro-Collins solution. Improved renal function after transplantation was observed in the HTK and UW groups compared to the EC group.
