1. An organ perfusion system comprising:
a perfusion circuit configured for circulating perfusion fluid through the organ;
an excreted fluid collection sump configured for collecting fluid excreted by the organ;
an excreted fluid measurement system configured to measure, at each of a plurality of measurement times during perfusion of the organ, a respective flow rate of the excreted fluid produced by the organ; and
a controller having a memory and configured to store the measurement times and the respective flow rates as flow rate information in the memory; wherein the excreted fluid measurement system comprises an excreted fluid collection volume and a sensor arranged to detect when a predetermined volume of the excreted fluid has collected in the collection volume, and the controller is configured to remove the excreted fluid from the collection volume in response to said predetermined volume being reached, to determine a plurality of times between subsequent occurrences of the predetermined volume being reached, and from each of the plurality of times between subsequent occurrences of the predetermined volume being reached, to determine said respective flow rate of the excreted fluid from the organ.
