Renal transplantation from non-heart beating donors

This study explores the use of non-heart beating donors for renal transplantation, including the selection criteria, outcomes, and biopsy results. The findings suggest that while there may be higher rates of primary non-function and delayed graft function, graft survival rates at 5 years are comparable to other donors. Biopsy can help distinguish between primary non-function and delayed graft function but should be used with caution.

  1. Renal transplantation fromnon-heart beating donors M L Nicholson P N Furness* Departments of Transplant Surgery and *Pathology Leicester General Hospital UK The University of Leicester

  2. The problem - 1

  3. The problem - 2

  4. Sources of asystolic donors in Leicester • Irreversible cardiorespiratory arrest • Accident & Emergency department –failed resuscitation after MI • Medical wards –catastrophic intracerebral haemorrhage with ‘coning’

  5. Leicester selection criteria for NHBDs • Age<60 • Warm ischaemic time <40 minutes • No history of renal impairment • No uncontrolled hypertension • No complicated insulin dependent diabetes • No systemic sepsis or malignancy

  6. Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (a.k.a. ‘The Thumper’)

  7. Correct positioning of aortic catheter

  8. Cyclosporin protocol

  9. Acute rejection rates

  10. Early graft function rates

  11. Graft function

  12. Graft survival

  15. Biopsy results: a ‘typical’ case, 1 week

  16. Same case, 3 months Hypertrophyof tubules Little fibrosis

  17. Biopsy results: a ‘good’ case 1 week 1 month

  18. Biopsy results: a ‘bad’ case. Pre-perfusion:

  19. 1 week:

  20. 3 weeks:

  21. 2 months:

  22. Sirius Red analysis - fibrotic kidney

  23. Interstitial collagen volume fraction (Sirius Red, polarized light)Conventional and NHBD kidneys, 6 month protocol biopsies % P<0.05

  24. Conclusions: Non-heart beating donor kidneys • Increased PNF rate (decreases with experience) • High DGF rate; dialysis usually needed • Slightly higher serum creatinine, may compensate • Slightly more interstitial fibrosis at 6 months • Indistinguishable graft survival rate at 5 years • Biopsy does not help with donor selection (?) • Protocol biopsies detect acute rejection at unchanged rate • Biopsy helps to distinguish PNF and DGF, but care needed
