Abstract:Introduction. There are no studies on the phenomena that occur on the ureter during organ preservation and immediately after transplantation. Material and methods. We studied ureteral fragments obtained during organ harvesting in the cadaver (n ϭ 9), after cold preservation period (n ϭ 18), and immediately after kidney graft reperfusion (n ϭ 126). In addition to the histological analysis, we evaluated the risk factors for the development of lesions and their relation to the evolution of the transplant.Results.… Show more
