Description
Summary:The objective of the present study was to describe kidney temperature variations during transplantation and to identify the factors responsible for kidney warming. Kidney temperature was recorded steadily during transplantation. Kidney weight, body mass index (BMI), second warm ischemia time (t), and kidney temperature at the time of being placed in the recipient were analyzed so that we could evaluate their influence on kidney temperature and on kidney warming during transplantation. Kidney temperature at the time of removal from the container was 1.6 °C and 6.3°C when the kidney was placed in the recipient. Kidney temperature in the recipient depended on kidney temperature after serum washing (P
