Current Insights into the Metabolome during Hypothermic Kidney Perfusion-A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: This scoping review summarizes what is known about kidney metabolism during hypothermic perfusion preservation. Papers studying kidney metabolism during hypothermic (<12 °C) perfusion were identified (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane). Out of 14,335 initially identified records, 52 were included [dog (26/52), rabbit (2/52), pig (20/52), human (7/52)]. These were published between 1970-2023, partially explaining study heterogeneity. There is a considerable risk of bias in the reported studies. Studies used different perfusates, oxygenation levels, kidney injury levels, and devices and reported on perfusate and tissue metabolites. In 11 papers, (non)radioactively labeled metabolites (tracers) were used to study metabolic pathways. Together these studies show that kidneys are metaboli
