Figure 1

Brain death induced renal failure and caused increased AST and lactate levels, yet decreased glucose levels in plasma. (A) Aspartate transaminase, (B) alanine transaminase, (C) plasma creatinine, (D) urine creatinine (E) urea, (F) lactate dehydrogenase, (G) glucose, and (H) lactate levels in plasma; (I) pH determined with blood gas analyses; and (J) relative gene expression of Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (Kim-1) after 4 hrs of experimental time. Results are presented as mean ± SD, n = 7 per group (**p < 0.01).
