Scientists say that devices like storage machine keep donor organs fresh for a longer time than ice can do.

When kidneys are stored in such devices, they have lesser odds to fail than to pack them in ice for transportation.

In this trail, which published in the Journal of Medicine, the researchers examined 366 pairs of kidneys. It is being expected that NHS would advice the use of the devices this month.

In UK, nearly 1300 such kidney transplants are carried out in which kidney from deceased donors are utilized.

As some patient dies, the organs begin to deteriorate soon and it is quite important to halt or slow down this process.

Usually, a specific solution is used to flush out a kidney and then it is put into an ice box to maintain its “freshness”.

However, during the recent years cold infusion devices have also been developed that are involved with the blood vessels that supply the kidney.

In the study, the researchers directly made a comparison in the effectiveness of the two methods by getting a donor kidneys’ pair and put one in the machine and the other into the ice.

The function of the donor kidney after its placement into the recipient and the transplanted organ survival were the two basic indicators of failure or success. The researchers found that one year survival was better in the machine stored kidney.
