Comparison of perfusate activities of glutathione S-transferase, alanine aminopeptidase and fatty acid binding protein in the assessment of non-heart-beating donor kidneys

Abstract

In this study, GST, Ala-AP and FABP represent equivalent biochemical markers in terms of their ability to quantitate renal tissue injury in human NHBD kidneys. However, there may be some advantage in using all three analytes to provide complementary information on kidney allograft viability.
