Internal organ-preserving liquid and method for preserving internal organs.

摘要

Organ-preserving liquids comprising, as an active ingredient, an undiluted liquid of a perfluorocarbon compound or an emulsion containing the same at a high concentration and methods for preserving internal organs are disclosed. The internal organ-preserving liquids of the present invention are extremely useful in the clinical situations as organ-preserving liquids in organ transplantation for mammals including humans, especially as preserving liquids for internal organs having likelihood of thermal ischemic disorders. According to the present invention, internal organs (e.g. pancreas, liver) are preserved by immersing the internal organs in an undiluted liquid of a perfluorocarbon or an emulsion thereof at a high concentration, preferably, with oxygen bubbling.
