A new perfusate, solution C3, was compared with plasma and a dextran‐based plasma substitute in a 24‐hour hypothermic kidney storage model. As judged by the rise in serum creatinine level following autografting of the stored kidney and immediate contralateral nephrectomy, solution C3 was significantly better than the other perfusates tested. It is recommended that this perfusate be used in preference to conventional solutions for the preservation of human cadaveric kidneys.
