Sum~nary. In search for new techniques of renal preservation, kidneys were persuf~ated in situ with gaseous 02 at a pressure of 90--100 mm Hg via their vascular system (orthograde aerobic ischemia). The results on post-isehemie function and blood flow, and on the changes in the renal tissue levels of the adenine nucleotides were compared to those obtained from kidneys ischemically stored without additional measures (anaerobic ischemia). The kidneys were stored for 4 hrs at 6°C. A contralateral nephrectomy was performed before the preservation period.All dogs subjected to renal anaerobic ischemia survived. After orthograde aerobic ischemia, 3 out of 4 dogs died from uremia within 8 days, 1 animal survived. Although the aerobic isehemic preservation resulted in the maintenance of a metabolic status characteristic for aerobiosis, post-ischemic renal function recovered too slowly and insufficiently on the average. Renal blood flow was within normal ranges after anaerobic ischemia, it was reduced to about one third of this after orthograde aerobic isehemia.

The sentence reads as follow: It must be attributed to a sufficient aerobiosis in the aerobically ischemic kidney, during which organogenic substrates and substrates brought in by the initial perfusion are utilized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
