The use of Custodiol was safe and provided improved perioperative renal function compared with lactated Ringer’s solution
HTK-Custodiol solution thus offers significant protection of myocardial mitochondria against cold ischemic injury and can be used as efficient preservation solution in organ transplantation .

(HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) preservation solutions are the two
solutions used primarily in abdominal organ procurement in the U.S. Bile duct
complications are common in the post liver transplant (LT) period and may be
related to the arterial blood supply for the biliary system. Because HTK is much
less viscous than UW, it has been hypothesized that this solution provides a
better flush of
