Horizon Scanning on organ perfusion Kidneys David Talbot
Maastricht II and Maastricht III • Cold machine perfusion its future • Non used kidneys
Summary of NHBD Kidney Programme 1998- 13th November 2006 Transplant Rate ----- Cat II – 45.1% Cat III – 82.1% Cat IV -100% Overall Transplants of NHBD = 62.8%
Active MII programmes • France • Netherlands • Spain: 2 centres All centres that utilise uncontrolled DCD use cold machine perfusion as a ‘viability’ test. Poor flow indicates non use. St Petersburg did use cold machine perfusion for this but now uses in situ normothermia
French DCD programme • Change in legislation 2007 allowing cannulation after pronouncement of death without consent • MIII not being allowed • Commenced multiple sites cold perfusion • One Paris site with an ECMO programme for cardiac arrest continued with a normothermic approach. • Successful liver transplants from this source also- 11 (3 centres) • Data from Benoit Barrou
French experience abbreviated from Benoit Barrou • 670 potential donors • 321 donors realised • 390 kidneys transplanted • 245 kidneys not used • Commenced 2007 virtually all cold perfusion • 2012 only 20% cold perfusion the rest warm • 43 transplants 2007 81 in 2012, improvement mainly due to more donors rather than warm perfusion • Best graft outcome seen in 2009 when <10% warm perfusion
Summary from France • 48% conversion rate from potential MII donors • 61% of these kidneys utilised (29% of total) • Steady increase in proportion of donors managed by normothermia • Best outcome of grafts in 2007-9 when <8% normothermia • Utilisation rate hasn’t changed enormously for kidneys with addition of normothermia (11 Livers so far from 3 units, 2 PNF)
Cold machine perfusion for MIII DCD Improved DGF with machine perfusion Improved graft outcome DCD and DBD pairs Perfusate different for static storage Cyril Moers, Jacqueline M Smits, Mark-Hugo J Maathuis, Jurgen Treckmann, et al. The New England Journal of Medicine. Boston: Jan 1, 2009. Vol. 360, Iss. 1; pg. 7
Cold Machine Perfusion Versus Static Cold Storage of Kidneys Donated After Cardiac Death: A UK Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial. Watson CJ et al. [Am J Transplant] 2010 Sep; Vol. 10 (9), pp. 1991-9. DCD paired kidneys Solutions matched Duration of machine perfusion sometimes short No difference in outcome
Son of PPART • Close to 100 kidneys recruited • Machine perfused from donor hospital • Therefore close to first analysis • But intention to treat doesn’t necessarily indicate machine perfused
Long term outcome of Newcastle data (MIII) according to perfusion characteristics at 3 hours
Age and perfusion flow index of MIII kidneys- Newcastle data
Postulation: • Hypertensive donors and elderly donors have a higher resistance to flow of cold perfusate through the kidney- (expanded criteria) • Therefore quality of perfusion if perfused statically is likely to be poorer for expanded criteria donors than standard • Cold machine perfusion improves the quality of perfusion over static for expanded criteria donors
The Machine Preservation Trial Machine perfusion attenuates the impact of DGF on GS Moers C et al.

As a consequence Machine perfusion in Europe in 2012 Data from Organ Recovery France, Spain and Eire recommend machine perfusing of all ECD kidneys.
Future for cold machine perfusion? • MII all kidneys should be machine perfused • MIII SCD with rapid demise and prompt cannulation probably no difference between machine or static • DBD/DCD ECD all should have machine perfusion • MIII SCD protracted demise, difficult cannulation, blue kidneys should be handled as ECD ie machine perfusion
1st April 2012 - 31st March 2013: Kidneys DBD Organs offered for donation: 1403 Organs not retrieved : 112 Organs retrieved but not transplanted: 95 (donor unsuitable 36, organ unsuitable, clinical 20, poor function 2, other 37) DCD Organs offered for donation: 1012 Organs not retrieved: 38 Organs retrieved but not transplanted: 177 (donor unsuitable medical 63, donor age 1, organ unsuitable- clinical 56, poor function 4, other 53)
Proposal: • Kidneys from donors with previously normal function- (can be currently abnormal) • Declined for transplant • Accepted for testing by may be 3 or 4 national units
Testing the declined kidney: Kidney arrives NHS BT runs a ‘veteran’ matching run for suitable recipients Biopsy for Rumuzzi score Kidney prepared and placed on cold machine perfusion Poor score- discard Good score Good flows Poor flows- discard Recipient identified, nephrologist contacted Accept Decline 2 hours warm perfusion to ‘re-charge’ or O2 persufflation or O2 into machine perfusion Returned to cold machine perfusion for transfer to recipient centre Transplant
Summary- 1 • MII donor programmes difficult due to declining sudden death of young people • Expanding MII programmes would have to accept older donors • Normothermia has some potential here as allows more time and possibly kinder to kidneys from older donors but expensive and return for funding has to be considered- legislation change for England • Cold machine perfusion mandatory for all kidneys from MII
Summary- 2 • Cold machine perfusion is almost certainly better than static storage for expanded criteria donors whether DBD or DCD • Kidneys from standard criteria MIII DCD’s are likely to have similar outcome whether or not MPS is used • If the primary warm ischaemic time is protracted for standard criteria MIII (blue kidneys) MPS is likely to be superior
Summary- 3 • 207 kidneys from DBD and 215 kidneys from DCD were not used in 2012/13 in the UK • This potentially could be addressed by a restricted number of test stations offering biopsy/ cold flow characteristics/ some sort of re- animation which could be cold as well as warm with kidneys offered to ‘veterans’
