Vasoreactivity as a Measure of Kidney Viability During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion
This study indicates that prolonged WI damage diminishes the contractility of VSMCs through the α-adrenergic receptors. Our findings suggest that the renal vascular responses to dopamine and norepinephrine, as well as decreased oxygen consumption and blood pH, could serve as objective indicators to quantify warm ischemic injury during renal NMP.
