In this video, we describe a technique to induce preservation injury via the prolonged cold ischemic storage time in porcine donor kidney.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Back-table and organ preservation After graft retrieval, immediately cannulate the renal artery using a standard 14 G (orange) peripheral catheter and fix it using a tourniquet prepared from 3-0 polyglactin. Rinse the kidney with a cold organ preservation solution. After flushing with 500 mL of organ preservation sol…
