Perfusion with WMO-II improves clearance of red blood cells in kidneys. a Representative images of H&E staining of ex vivo canine kidneys flushed with 150 mL either solution at 4 °C via the artery for 5 min or until the effluent ran clear. Black arrows: retained red blood cells. b Representative TEM images of a single glomeruli of ex vivo canine kidneys after perfusion with WMO-II or HTK solutions. Red arrows: retained red blood cells. c The average number of blood red cells retained in a single glomerulus after perfusion with WMO-II or HTK solutions. Each kidney was prepared in 2 sections (1 cm × 1 cm) and all glomeruli in each section were examined. Data expressed as mean with standard error. n = 6 *P < 0.05
