Abstract
In renal transplantation, the deleterious effect of ischemia/reperfusion injury has a major impact on graft survival by triggering or influencing acute rejection as well as late chronic changes12. Thus protective maneuvers at the time of transplantation should ameliorate the fate of the organ.
