In conclusion, we found an association between baseline hemoglobin levels and superior renal function parameters, but not injury, during NMP of porcine kidneys. Furthermore, we show that performing a retrospective cohort study of preclinical data is feasible and able to answer additional questions, reducing the potential use of laboratory animals.
