Abstract:Renal ischemia in the peri-transplant period causes a number of changes that adversely affect the initiation of normal vital functions in grafts after transplantation. To minimise the extent of ischemic damage, organs are stored in preservation fluid. The components of the fluid are supposed to ensure stabilisation of the cell cytoskeleton, protect against oxygen free radicals, reduce cell swelling, and ensure endothelial cell integrity. The aim of this study was to analyse the protective effect of Cu2+, as a … Show more
