RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function (DGF), the need for dialysis in the first week following kidney transplant, affects approximately one quarter of deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients. Donor demographics, donor serum creatinine, and graft cold ischemia time are associated with DGF. However, there is no consensus on the optimal management of hemodynamic instability in organ donors after brain death (DBDs). Our objective was to determine the relationship between vasopressor selection during donor management and the development of DGF. METHODS: Prospective observational data, including demographic and critical care parameters, were collected for all DBDs managed by 17 organ procurement organizations from nine Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Regions between 2012 and 2018. Recipient outcome data were linked with donor data through donor identification numbers. Donor critical care parameters, including type of vasopressor and doses, were recorded at three standardized time points during donor management. The analysis included only donors who received at least one vasopressor at all three time points. Vasopressor doses were converted to norepinephrine equivalent doses and analyzed as continuous variables. Univariate analyses were conducted to determine the association between donor variables and DGF. Results were adjusted for known predictors of DGF using binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Complete data were available for 5,554 kidney transplant recipients and 2,985 DBDs. On univariate analysis, donor serum creatinine, donor age, donor subtype, kidney donor profile index, graft cold ischemia time, phenylephrine dose, and dopamine dose were associated with DGF. After multivariable analysis, increased donor serum creatinine, donor age, kidney donor profile index, graft cold ischemia time, and phenylephrine dose remained independent predictors of DGF. CONCLUSION: Higher doses of phenylephrine were an independent predictor of DGF. With the exception of phenylephrine, the selection and dose of vasopressor during donor management did not predict the development of DGF. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic study, Level III.

BACKGROUND: A rhabdomyolysis protocol (RP) with mannitol and bicarbonate to prevent acute renal dysfunction (ARD, creatinine >2.0 mg/dL) remains controversial. METHODS: Patients with creatine kinase (CK) greater than 2,000 U/L over a 10-year period were identified. Shock, Injury Severity Score, massive transfusion, intravenous contrast exposure, and RP use were evaluated. RP was initiated for a CK greater than 10,000 U/L (first half of the study) or greater than 20,000 U/L (second half). Multivariable analyses were used to identify predictors of ARD and the independent effect of the RP. RESULTS: Seventy-seven patients were identified, 24 (31%) developed ARD, and 4 (5%) required hemodialysis. After controlling for other risk factors, peak CK greater than 10,000 U/L (odds ratio 8.6, P = .016) and failure to implement RP (odds ratio 5.7, P = .030) were independent predictors of ARD. Among patients with CK greater than 10,000, ARD developed in 26% of patients with the RP versus 70% without it (P = .008). CONCLUSION: Reduced ARD was noted with RP. A prospective controlled study is still warranted.
