Abstract

In Kuwait we have utilized imported cadaver kidneys which have prolonged cold ischaemia times frequently exceeding 50 hours (1). Such imported organs are crossmatched against local recipients on arrival in Kuwait and this may add an additional 4–4½ hours to the ischaemic interval when performed by conventional crossmatching techniques (2).
