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
From June 1988 to October 1990, a total of 100 orthotopic liver transplantations (OLTs) in 91 patients were performed at the Hospital ClΓnic of Barcelona. Euro-Collins (EC) solution was used as the flush and storage solution in 29 livers, and the University of Wisconsin (UW) solution was used in 24.
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
