Table 4.
Quality Assessment Score (QAS): Macroscopic grades 1: excellent perfusion (global pink appearance), 2: moderate perfusion (patchy appearance) and 3: poor perfusion (global mottled and purple/black appearance). Kidneys with a mean renal artery flow below 50 mL/min/100g and urine output below 43 mL/h were given an additional score of 1 for each. Overall the assessment score ranged from 1: least injured, to 5: most severely injured. According to QAS, 13 out the 14 kidneys perfused in this study were potentially transplantable.
