Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution (HTK) and University of Wisconsin solution (UW) have been shown to have similar outcomes in cadaveric kidney, pancreas, and liver transplantation. Our institution changed from UW to HTK as the primary preservation solution for liver, kidney and pancreas tr

UW) solution has been recognized as the gold standard in liver preservation, but its limitations are becoming obvious, such as risk of biliary complications and its high cost. Alternatively, the effects of histidine-tryptophanketoglutarate (HTK), such as improved biliary protection and low cost, hav
Liver, pancreas, and kidney allografts preserved in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions have similar clinical outcomes. This study compares HTK and UW in a large number of standard criteria donor (SCD) and extended criteria donor (ECD) livers at a sing
Adequate flushing for liver donation requires large fluid volumes delivered at a high flow. This can be achieved more effectively with crystalloid solutions than with colloid-based solutions. This study examined the combination of initial histidine-tryptophanketoglutarate solution (HTK) graft flush
