Preservation of cadaveric renal allografts by ice storage and by machine perfusion after a preliminary flush with a hypertonic citrate solution has been compared in a prospective clinical trial between matched pairs of kidneys from the same cadaver donor. Over a two‐year period, ice storage after flushing with the new solution gave results comparable with machine perfusion. Times of warm ischaemia and total times of storage were similar in ice‐stored and machine‐perfused kidneys and averaged about 16 hours. In each group of recipients, more than half of the kidneys had good early function and one‐year survival times were also similar.
