Description
Kidus Haile Yemaneberhan and co-authors review modern ways to keep donor organs alive in a 2024 paper. For decades, organs traveled in plain cold boxes, which harms weaker organs. Machines that pump fluid through an organ can guard it better. Cold pumping is now the top choice for high-risk kidneys, while warm pumping lets doctors test a liver before use.
Slow rewarming with oxygen can cut the shock when blood returns to the organ. Freezing organs for months of storage remains a dream blocked by ice damage. The review weighs each method's gains and gaps. Better storage means more usable organs and fewer deaths on waiting lists.
