title: Wisconsin and Celsior solutions in renal preservation: a comparative preliminary study.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Celsior (C) solution for flushing and cold storage of cadaveric renal allografts. Among 177 cadaveric renal allografts harvested and transplanted in our unit, 138 were preserved with the University of Wisconsin (W) solution and 39 with the C solution. The mean age of the recipients was 48.1 +/- 13.5 years, including 107 men and 70 women. The immunosuppressive regimens were tacrolimus-based (n = 118) or cyclosporine-based (n = 59). Grafts perfused with W solution were obtained from older donors than those perfused with C solution (42.3 +/- 16.9 vs 38.1 +/- 12.5 years; P = .017) and had been transplanted to older recipients (49.5 +/- 14.4 vs 43.3 +/- 13.0 years; P = .017). The prevalence of delayed graft function (DGF) was similar in the 2 groups (39.1% in the W group vs 23.7% in the C group; P = .097), as well as the incidence of primary nonfunction grafts (5.8% vs 2.7%; P = .427). The serum creatinine value at 1 month was significantly higher among grafts preserved with W versus solution (1.9 +/- 0.9 vs 1.5 +/- 0.5 mg/dL; P = .000) as well as at 12 months (1.63 +/- 0.5 vs 1.35 +/- 0.4 mg/dL; P = .003). There were no differences in graft survival at 12 months (97% C group vs 88% W group; P = .069). Our results showed that C solution was equivalent to W solution with respect to DGF and primary function of kidneys. The differences in renal function may have been due to differences in donor and recipient ages.
