"The use of machine perfusion of recovered organs as opposed to cold storage has helped but there is still room for improvement. The release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and microRNAs from the donor kidney are hypothesized to play a role in these complications. With that in mind, we specifically examined the ability of the Hemopurifier to remove EVs and noxious microRNAs from the perfusion fluid from discarded kidneys that had undergone Controlled Oxygenated Rewarming. We demonstrated significant reductions in EVs as well as...
