Popis: Experiments are described in which rabbit kidneys were perfused with solutions containing 2, 3, or 4 m glycerol and then were autografted in order to measure any functional impairment. The basic perfusate contained Haemaccel (17.5 g/litre) and mannitol (111 m m ) and had a total osmolality of 400 mosmol/kg. The perfusion temperature was 10 °C. Glycerol concentration was slowly increased at a rate of 30 m m min−1 to 2, 3, or 4 m , was held at the maximum concentration for 30 min, and was then decreased to m at 30 m m min−1. An immediate contralateral nephrectomy was carried out, and the function of the perfused kidney was assessed by serial measurements of blood urea and serum creatinine, by the determination of 24-hr endogenous creatinine clearance at 1 month and by histological examination. It was found that a concentration of 3 m glycerol was readily tolerated.
