Kidneys from haemodynamically unstable donors may suffer from renal ischaemia-reperfusion (RIR) injury. RIR is associated with reactive oxygen species production that induces inflammation and activates the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway which converts AA into prostaglandin E(2). Amifostine was investigated for its renoprotective potential in RIR.
