Comparison of Direct and Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning of Renal Ischaemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats.

Objective: One of the methods that can be used to prevent ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury is ischaemic preconditioning. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of remote and direct ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC and DIPC) histopathologically in the rat renal IR injury model.

Methods: After obtaining an approval from the Dokuz Eylül University School of Medicine Ethics Committee, 28 Wistar Albino male rats were divided into four groups.
