ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hypoperfusion leads to allograft injury during kidney transplantation. Catecholamine vasopressors are used to maintain blood pressure in the perioperative period but have demonstrated negative outcomes in the deceased-donor kidney transplant population. Little is known regarding living donor kidney transplants (LDKTs) and vasopressor use. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence of vasopressor use in LDKT and characterize its effects on allograft function and patient outcomes.METHODS:
This retrospective, observational cohort study included adult patients who underwent an isolated LDKT between August 1, 2017, and September 1, 2018. Patients were divided into those who received perioperative vasopressors and those who did not. The primary objective was to compare allograft function between LDKT recipients that received vasopressors and those who did not. Secondary outcomes included safety endpoints and the identification of clinical variables associated with vasopressor use.RESULTS:
A total of 67 patients received an LDKT during the study period. Of those, 25 (37%) received perioperative vasopressors, and 42 (62%) did not. Poor graft function, as defined by the development of slow or delayed graft function, occurred more frequently in patients receiving perioperative vasopressors compared with those who did not (6 [24%] vs 1 [2.4%], P = .016). In multivariable regression modeling, only perioperative vasopressors were statistically significantly associated with poor graft function. In addition, patients exposed to vasopressors experienced more postoperative arrhythmias (8 [32%] vs 1 [4.8%], P = .0025).CONCLUSION:
Using perioperative vasopressors was independently associated with worsened early renal allograft function, including delayed graft function and adverse events in the LDKT population.
