Brief Normothermic Machine Perfusion Rejuvenates Discarded Human Kidneys.

Hemoglobin levels (43.8 versus 65.3 g/L; P = 0.094) and hematocrit (14.3% versus 20.7%; P = 0.150) were lower in the autologous blood group, and white cell count was higher (0.15 × 10 9 /L versus 0.06 × 10 9 /L; P = 0.071), despite using identical volumes of PRBCs, but this did not reach statistical significance; platelet counts were however statistically lower in the banked blood group (45.0 × 10 9 /L versus 0.9 × 10 9 /L; P < 0.001).

Perfusate potassium levels showed a trend towards an increase in the banked blood group (5.4 versus 7.6 mmol/L; P = 0.107); there were no differences in sodium (142.0 versus 143.9 mmol/L; P = 0.404) and bicarbonate (13.0 versus 14.3 mmol/L; P = 0.491) concentrations.
