PG - 396-402 AB - Retrograde oxygen persufflation (ROP) has been reported to be beneficial to kidney preservation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether use of ROP during cold storage (CS) with Universita of Wisconsin (UW) solution could ameliorate energy metabolism and functional recovery of ischemically injured rat kidneys and, moreover, to study the particular role of adenosine (ADO) in CS with ROP. Kidneys subjected to 30 min of warm ischemia (WI) were preserved for 24 h in 4 degrees C UW solution with or without ROP and with or without ADO. Measurements of tissue high-energy phosphate levels showed that reduced total adenine nucleotides (TAN) after 30 min of WI further declined during the subsequent CS. In ROP kidneys, however, TAN were less reduced, suggesting that even during CS, TAN can still be regenerated in the injured kidneys when ROP is combined with UW solution. When UW did not contain ADO, regeneration of TAN by ROP was slightly less than in the case of UW with ADO. This indicates that the supply of molecular oxygen is a significant factor in TAN resynthesis during CS. There was no statistically significant difference in survival rate between the ROP and CS groups, indicating that an improved energy status is not the sole determinant of functional recovery. We conclude that the gaseous oxygen supply provided by ROP during CS in UW solution ameliorates the energy state of ischemically injured rat kidneys and that exogenous ADO from the UW solution contributes to the improvement of energy metabolism to a limited extent.
