Oxygen Consumption by Warm Ischemia-Injured Porcine Kidneys in Hypothermic Static and Machine Preservation.

Static cold storage (SCS) and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) are currently standard methods for renal grafts clinical preservation. Both methods are predominantly implemented without the active delivery of oxygen, even for donation after circulatory death-like kidneys. However, even under severe hypothermia (4°C-6°C), kidneys can consume oxygen and produce ATP. What is not established, though, is to what extent and how SCS and HMP compare in terms of oxygen. Using a porcine preclinical model of renal warm ischemia (WI) to compare SCS and HMP methods, we continuously monitored and quantified oxygen level and consumption along preservation; we also determined prepreservation and postpreservation cortical ATP level; values were given as median and [min; max] range. One-hour WI reduced ATP by ∼90% (from 3.3 [1.7; 4.5] mmol/L tissue in Controls). Oxygen consumption (QO
