text: The mechanisms that damage kidneys during hypothermic storage can be sub-divided as follows:
  # Injury to the metabolic processes of the cell caused by:
  ## Cold
  ## Anoxia when the kidney is warm both before and after the period of hypothermic storage.
  ## Failure to supply the correct nutrients.
  ## Toxin accumulation in the perfusate.
  ## Toxic damage from the storage fluid.
  ## Washout of essential substrates from the kidney cells.
  # Injury to nuclear DNA.
  # Mechanical injury to the vascular system of the kidney during hypothermic perfusion.
  # Post reimplantation injury.
