Table 2 Renal artery flow rates during in situ perfusion versus ex situ perfusion at different pressures
Gravity flow (100 mmHg) | +50 mmHg (150 mmHg) | +100 mmHg (200 mmHg) | +150 mmHg (250 mmHg) | +200 mmHg (300 mmHg) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean flow in renal artery during in situ perfusion (ml/minute) | 3.47 (± 2.25) | 5.21 (±3.97) | 7.00 (± 5.04) | 8.5 (± 5.92) | 9.93 (± 6.29) |
Mean flow in renal artery during ex situ perfusion (ml/minute) | 30.78 (± 21.06) | 68.85 (±46.38) | 100.15 (± 65.19) | 132.38 (± 68.01) | 184.62 (± 85.94) |
P value (in situ versus ex situ) | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 |
