Microdialysis for Detection of Renal Ischemia After Experimental Renal Transplantation

Abstract

Microdialysis detected significant metabolic changes after postoperative ischemia in pigs with experimental renal transplantation, while no metabolic changes were observed in controls. In the future microdialysis may become a valuable tool for postoperative observation of transplanted kidneys, most probably with major impact on early graft survival.
