The following experiment was done to evaluate the protective effect of low molecular weight dextran (LMD)* when the two-hour period of renal ischemia was extended.

Method

A right nephrectomy through a flank incision was done to eight dogs. Ten days later a laparotomy was done to this group of dogs. Arterial clamps were placed across the aorta distal to the superior mesenteric artery and at the origin of the left renal artery.
