Abstract
The use of cadaver kidneys in human renal transplantation has been greatly facilitated by the refinement of organ retrieval and preservation techniques [1, 2]. Although careful attention to technical details of organ harvesting and post-mortem perfusion should avoid the development of damage to the organ, we have seen a complication recently which, despite its potential hazard, appears to be entirely preventable. In kidney biopsies obtained immediately after transplantation from each of four cadaver kidneys, particles having the characteristics of corn starch granules were discovered in the glomeruli.
