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
Sources of asystolic donors in Leicester • Irreversible cardiorespiratory arrest • Accident & Emergency department –failed resuscitation after MI • Medical wards –catastrophic intracerebral haemorrhage with ‘coning’
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
Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation device (a.k.a. ‘The Thumper’)

Same case, 3 months Hypertrophyof tubules Little fibrosis
Biopsy results: a ‘good’ case 1 week 1 month
Interstitial collagen volume fraction (Sirius Red, polarized light)Conventional and NHBD kidneys, 6 month protocol biopsies % P<0.05
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
