Further expansion of the donor pool with ischemically damaged kidneys will be predicated on the ability to develop prognostic testing. Using a well-established canine autotransplantation injury model, we assessed whether actual restoration of renal metabolism by ex vivo warm perfusion could be used to predict the status of an organ before transplantation.
