...electric pump sends the fluid through the kidneys at a natural pulse rate and under normal blood pressures. Once through, the fluid drops from the veins and ureter into a catch basin for recirculation. Along the way, it is reoxygenated and purified, and chilled to reduce still further the likelihood of organ deterioration. When the machine is trundled from the room in which the kidney was removed to the recipient's operating theater, the pump works on a battery without interruption. Dr. Belzer has done four transplants with machine-preserved kidneys, one of which was on the circuit...
