Mechanism of action

Custodiol HTK (histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution) is a specialized extracellular-type preservation fluid designed for hypothermic organ storage. It contains a balanced composition of electrolytes, amino acids (histidine and tryptophan), and ketoglutarate that reduces intracellular edema, maintains cellular metabolism, and protects against reperfusion injury during the cold ischemic period before organ transplantation.
