          Abstract

          Background: The rapidly evolving field of transplantation research with a focus on ischemic and reperfusion injuries has gained importance since the methodology of organ preservation significantly limits graft survival. Numerous models of isolated perfused kidneys have been established in the past years but limitations such as organ size, perfusate and ethical standards have restricted a widespread research in this area. Methods: A model of hemoperfused isolated porcine slaughterhouse kidneys was established which encompasses the advantages of autologous blood as optimal perfusate and a reduction of animal experiments. Results: The size and geometry of the porcine kidney is more comparable to human conditions and various renal functions, blood parameters and morphology can easily be accessed in the present model. Stable organ function can be maintained over 2 h with an amount of 500–1,000 ml of autologous blood which is metabolically controlled via a dialysis system. Conclusion: In summary, the present model describes a new and economic approach for targeting renal function in transplantation models by combining autologous blood as optimal perfusate with a well-defined organ geometry and function and slaughterhouse animals as a source.

          Trimetazidine Reverses Deleterious Effects of Ischemia-Reperfusion in the Isolated Perfused Pig Kidney Model

          Background: Delayed graft function has remained an important complication after renal transplantation. Methods: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Euro-Collins (EC) plus trimetazidine (TMZ) in comparison with standard EC solution after 24- or 48-hour cold storage. The normothermic isolated perfused pig kidney technique combined with proton nuclear magnetic spectroscopy was used. Results: The study verified that TMZ plus EC had a beneficial preservation effect over EC in terms of better perfusate flow rate at both 24 and 48 h (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). In addition, TMZ also was beneficial in terms of increased glomerular filtration rate, better proximal tubular functions, and less tubular injury markers. Lipid peroxidation, evaluated by malondialdehyde renal tissue levels, was decreased in kidney homogenates preserved with TMZ, particularly after 48-hour cold storage. Citrate excretion which reflects a better intracellular pH regulation was detected in urine from kidneys preserved with TMZ. Histological data paralleled findings of the above when comparing cellular injury factors such as vacuolization, necrosis, tubular structure, and interstitial edema. Conclusion: These results indicate that, under the conditions of our experiments, the addition of TMZ to EC solution increased the preservation quality of kidneys particularly after prolonged cold ischemia.
