Popis: The mechanisms by which cold preservation solutions exert their protective effects are only partially understood. The consequences of mixing different solutions, with presumably different modes of action, may be additive and beneficial or may be deleterious. It is commonplace in clinical liver preservation to use Ringer's lactate (RL), Eurocollins (EC), and University of Wisconsin (UW) solution in sequence for washout of blood, precooling, and cold storage of the organ. In this study, 114 Sprague Dawley rats received orthotopic liver transplants that were flushed in various sequences with RL, EC, and UW solutions. One-week animal survival served as the criterion of preservation success. The results demonstrated that liver preservation with UW solution alone is significantly superior (P less than 0.01) to any combination of RL, EC, and UW solutions and may explain some of the instances of primary nonfunction in clinical liver transplantation.
