Injury markers in perfusion fluid and morphological injury in tissue after normothermic machine perfusion. Total markers of injury were calculated as the area under the curve. Total amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (a, b) and aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) (c, d) in the perfusate. Tissue was scored on proximal tubular cell necrosis (ranging from mild to severe: 1–5), edema (ranging from mild to severe: 1–4), and proximal tubular cell vacuolation (ranging from mild to severe: 1–4) in the rat study, respectively (e–g). Signs of ischemia reperfusion injury in porcine kidneys were scored (h). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. Groups contain 5–7 kidneys. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with all other groups.
