Extra ‐corporeal normothermic machine perfusion of the porcine kidney: working towards future utilization in Australasia

ConclusionA viable and reproducible NMP system was established and tested in porcine kidneys, which was able to simulate graft function extra‐corporeally. Further work is required to identify the most optimal perfusion conditions. Prior to its utilization in clinical transplantation, the system should be tested in non‐transplanted human kidneys.
