From November 1985 to March 1990,55 cadaveric kidney transplants were performed under cyclosporine therapy. All kidneys were harvested from non-heart beating donors and cold stored after being flushed with EC solution (Group I, n=27) or UW solution (Group II, n=28). Warm ischemic time (min) in groups I and II were 7.1±3.3 and 6.9±2.3, respectively. Cold ischemic times (hr) in groups I and ll were 6.9±2.4 and 8.4±2.8, respectively. Mean numbers of days for postoperative dialysis were 14.0±7.9 in group I and 7.9±5.8 in group n (p＜0.05). One-month creatinine (mg/dl) was 2.9±2.8 in group I and 1.75±1.0 in group II (NS). One-month graft survivals (%) in groups I and II were 81.4% and 92.8%, respectively. In conclusion, UW solution has provided beneficial effect of preservation on ischemic damaged kidney and appears to be method of choice in non-heart beating cadaveric kidney transplantation.
