ARE WE DISCARDING KIDNEYS APPROPRIATELY ? AN ANALYSIS OF CADAVER DONOR AND KIDNEY BIOPSY PARAMETERS WITH CORRELATION TO TRANSPLANT OUTCOMES Martin Mozes MD, Mel Schwartz MD, Janis Orlowski MD Michael Harmon BSN, Ronald Skolek BSN Regional Organ Bank of Illinois and Rush Presbyterian -St. Lukes Medical center, Chicago IL.
Background • Proportion of kidneys from cadaveric donors over age 50 (“marginal donors”) has >doubled over 10 years to 30% of total. • The kidney discard rate from “marginal” donors is >32%, double that of overall discard rates. • Transplant outcomes with these kidneys is acceptable. • There is a need to define factors leading to discard • There is a need to validate the correctness of the decision to discard “marginal” kidneys.

PURPOSE of THE STUDY *To determine the ROBI kidney discard rates in Marginal Donors. *To determine donor and kidney biopsy factors associated with discard *To design a predictive score for kidney discard. *To validate the decision to discard.
Methods • Data reviewed of all ROBI cadaver donors with kidney biopsy at ROBI during 1996-1999. • Kidney biopsy findings (Wedge-frozen and permanent) reviewed, graded and coded. • Kidney recipients identified-with F/U 6M-5 years. • Uni and multivariate analyses performed.

summary • The KidneyDiscard rates in Marginal Donors is>30% • Donor factors predictive of discard are age, race, GFR (admit and final),HTN and DM. • Predictive Biopsy factors are: % Glomerulosclerosis and degree of Arteriolar hyalinosis. • A highly accurate predictive score for kidney discard can be developed based on above factors. • Kidneys paired to discarded kidneys result in acceptable outcomes when transplanted.
CONCLUSIONS • Current transplant practices result in a high discard rate of “marginal donor” kidneys. • Transplantation of kidneys similar to those currently being discarded results in acceptable outcomes. • More wide spread application of innovative approaches will result in successful transplantation of many more patient: • Two-for-one transplants. • Alternate recipient lists for marginal kidneys. • Accelerated placement protocols for marginal donors.
