RESUMO
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable pathophysiological phenomenon in kidney transplantation. Necroptosis is an undoubtedly important contributing mechanism in renal IRI. We first screened differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes (DENRGs) from public databases. Eight DENRGs were validated by independent datasets and verified by qRT-PCR in a rat IRI model. We used univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to establish a prognostic signature, and graft survival analysis was performed. Immune infiltrating landscape analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to understand the underlying mechanisms of graft loss, which suggested that necroptosis may aggravate the immune response, resulting in graft loss. Subsequently, a delayed graft function (DGF) diagnostic signature was constructed using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and exhibited robust efficacy in validation datasets. After comprehensively analyzing DENRGs during IRI, we successfully constructed a prognostic signature and DGF predictive signature, which may provide clinical insights for kidney transplant.

In kidney transplant recipients, delayed graft function increases the risk of graft failure and mortality. In a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we investigated the hepatocyte growth factor mimetic, ANG-3777 (once daily for 3 consecutive days, starting ≤30 hours posttransplant), in 248 patients receiving a first kidney transplant from a deceased donor. At day 360, estimated glomerular filtration rate (primary endpoint) was not significantly different between the ANG-3777 and placebo groups. There were no significant between-group differences in the duration of dialysis through day 30 or in the percentage of patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of >30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at day 360. The incidence of both delayed graft function and acute rejection was similar between ANG-3777 and placebo groups (68.5% vs 69.4% and 8.1% vs 6.5%, respectively). ANG-3777 was well tolerated, and there was a numerically lower incidence of graft failure versus placebo (3.2% vs 8.1%). Although there is insufficient evidence to support an indication of ANG-3777 for patients at risk of renal dysfunction after deceased-donor kidney transplantation, these findings indicate potential biological activity that may warrant further investigation.
RESUMO
Delayed graft function (DGF) increases morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients. Operative parameters, including hemodynamic manipulation through vasopressors and fluids, can impact perfusion to the newly transplanted kidney and influence DGF incidence. We analyzed intraoperative time-series data in 5-minute intervals from kidney transplant recipient operations (N = 545) in conjunction with pretransplant characteristics and postsurgical outcomes, including DGF incidence, 60-day creatinine, and graft survival. Of the operations, 127 DGF events were captured in our cohort from a single academic transplant center (57/278 donations after brainstem death [DBDs], 65/150 donations after circulatory/cardiac death [DCDs], 5/117 live donations). In multiple regression, postanastomosis hypotension defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) <75 mmHg was a risk factor for DGF independent of conventional predictors of DGF in DCD and DBD kidneys. DCD recipients with DGF had lower average postanastomosis MAP (DGF: 80.1 ± 8.1 mmHg vs no DGF: 76.4 ± 6.7 mmHg, P = .004). Interaction analysis demonstrated above-average doses of vasopressors and crystalloids were associated with improved outcomes when used at MAPs ≤75 mmHg, but they were associated with increased DGF at MAPs >75 mmHg, suggesting that the incidence of DGF can be highly influenced by intraoperative hemodynamic controls. This analysis of surgical time courses has identified potential new strategies for goal-directed anesthesia in renal transplantation.
RESUMO
We analyzed whether there is an interaction between the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and cold ischemia time (CIT) in recipients of deceased donor kidney transplant (KTs). Adults who underwent KTs in the United States between 2014 and 2020 were included and divided into 3 KDPI groups (≤20%, 21%-85%, >85%) and 4 CIT strata (<12, 12-17.9, 18-23.9, ≥24 hours). Multivariate analyses were used to test the interaction between KDPI and CIT for the following outcomes: primary graft nonfunction (PGNF), delayed graft function (DGF), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 6 and 12 months, patient survival, graft survival, and death-censored graft survival (DCGS). A total of 69,490 recipients were analyzed: 18,241 (26.3%) received a graft with KDPI ≤20%, 46,953 (67.6%) with KDPI 21%-85%, and 4,296 (6.2%) with KDPI >85%. Increasing KDPI and CIT were associated with worse post-KT outcomes. Contrary to our hypothesis, howerver, the interaction between KDPI and CIT was statistically significant only for PGNF and DGF and eGFR at 6 months. Paradoxically, the negative coefficient of the interaction suggested that increasing duration of CIT was more detrimental for low and intermediate-KDPI organs relative to high-KDPI grafts. Conversely, for mortality, graft survival, and DCGS, we found that the interaction between CIT and KDPI was not statistically significant. We conclude that, high KDPI and prolonged CIT are independent risk factors for inferior outcomes after KT. Their interaction, however, is statistically significant only for the short-term outcomes and more pronounced on low and intermediate-KDPI grafts than high-KDPI kidneys.

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication after kidney transplant. Despite extensive literature on the topic, the extant definition of DGF has not been conducive to advancing the scientific understanding of the influences and mechanisms contributing to its onset, duration, resolution, or long-term prognostic implications. In 2022, the National Kidney Foundation sponsored a multidisciplinary scientific workshop to comprehensively review the current state of knowledge about the diagnosis, therapy, and management of DGF and conducted a survey of relevant stakeholders on topics of clinical and regulatory interest. In this Special Report, we propose and defend a novel taxonomy for the clinical and research definitions of DGF, address key regulatory and clinical practice issues surrounding DGF, review the current state of therapies to reduce and/or attenuate DGF, offer considerations for clinical practice related to the outpatient management of DGF, and outline a prospective research and policy agenda.

INTRODUCTION: Kidney transplantation (KTx) necessarily conveys an ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) process, which impacts on allograft outcomes. Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as a non-decrease of serum creatinine by at least 10% daily on 3 consecutive days during the first 7 days post-KTx. DGF significantly conditions both short- and long-term graft outcomes. Still there is a lack of DGF predictive biomarkers. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the potential of kidney graft perfusate metabolomics to predict DGF occurrence. METHODS: 49 human perfusates from grafts categorized upon donor type [donation after brain death (DBD)/donation after circulatory death (DCD)] and DGF occurrence and 19 perfusates from a murine model classified upon death type (DBD/DCD) were collected and analyzed by NMR-based metabolomics. RESULTS: The multivariate analysis of the murine data highlighted significant differences between perfusate metabolomes of DBD versus DCD. These differences were similarly observed in the human perfusates. After correcting for the type of donor, multivariate analysis of human data demonstrated a metabolomics signature that could be correlated with DGF occurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The metabolome of kidney grafts is influenced by the donor's type in both human and pre-clinical studies and could be correlated with DGF in the human DBD cohort. Thus, metabolomic analysis of perfusate applied prior to KTx may represent a new predictive tool for clinicians in a more personalized management of DGF. Moreover, our data paves the way to better understand the impact of donor's types on the biochemical events occurring between death and the hypothermic storage.

BACKGROUND: Multiparametric MRI provides assessment of functional and structural parameters in kidney allografts. It offers a non-invasive alternative to the current reference standard of kidney biopsy. PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic utility of MRI parameters in the assessment of allograft function in the first 3-months post-transplantation. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. SUBJECTS: 32 transplant recipients (54 ± 17 years, 20 females), divided into two groups according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 3-months post-transplantation: inferior graft function (IGF; eGFR<45 mL/min/1.73 m2 , n = 10) and superior graft function (SGF; eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 , n = 22). Further categorization was based on the need for hemodialysis (C1) and decrease in s-creatinine (C2) at 1-week post-transplantation: delayed-graft-function (DGF: n = 4 C1, n = 10 C2) and early graft-function (EGF: n = 28 C1, n = 22 C2). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3-T, pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling, T1-mapping, and diffusion-weighted imaging. ASSESSMENT: Multiparametric MRI was evaluated at 1-week in all patients and 3-months after transplantation in 28 patients. Renal blood flow (RBF), diffusion coefficients (ADC, ΔADC, D, ∆ $$ \Delta $$ D, D*, flowing fraction f), T1 and ∆ $$ \Delta $$ T1 were calculated in cortex and medulla. The diagnostic and prognostic value of these parameters, obtained at 3-months and 1-week post-transplantation, respectively, was evaluated in the cortex to discriminate between DGF and EGF, and between SGF and IGF. STATISTICAL TESTS: Logistic regression, receiver-operating-characteristics, area-under-the-curve (AUC), confidence intervals (CIs), analysis-of-variance, t-test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's correlation. P-value<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: DGF patients exhibited significantly lower cortical RBF and f and higher D*. The diagnostic value of MRI for detecting DGF was excellent (AUC = 100%). Significant differences between patients with IGF and SGF were found in RBF, ∆T1 , and ∆D. Multiparametric MRI showed higher diagnostic (AUC = 95.32%; CI: 88%-100%) and prognostic (AUC = 97.47%, CI: 92%-100%) values for detecting IGF than eGFR (AUC = 89.50%, CI: 79%-100%). DATA CONCLUSION: Multiparametric MRI may show high diagnostic and prognostic value in transplanted patients, yielding better results compared to eGFR measurements. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: The decision for acceptance or discard of the increasingly rare and marginal brain-dead donor kidneys in Eurotransplant (ET) countries has to be made without solid evidence. Thus, we developed and validated flexible clinicopathological scores called 2-Step Scores for the prognosis of delayed graft function (DGF) and one-year death-censored transplant loss (1y-tl) reflecting the current practice of six ET countries including Croatia and Belgium. METHODS: The training set was n=620 for DGF and n=711 for 1y-tl, with validation sets n=158 and n=162. In step 1, stepwise logistic regression models including only clinical predictors were used to estimate the risks. In step 2, risk estimates were updated for statistically relevant intermediate risk percentiles with nephropathology. RESULTS: Step 1 revealed an increased risk of DGF with increased cold ischaemia time, donor and recipient BMI, dialysis vintage, number of HLA-DR mismatches or recipient CMV IgG positivity. On the training and validation set, c-statistics were 0.672 and 0.704, respectively. At a range between 18% and 36%, accuracy of DGF-prognostication improved with nephropathology including number of glomeruli and Banff cv (updated overall c statistics of 0.696 and 0.701, respectively).Risk of 1y-tl increased in recipients with cold ischaemia time, sum of HLA-A. -B, -DR mismatches and donor age. On training and validation sets, c-statistics were 0.700 and 0.769, respectively. Accuracy of 1y-tl prediction improved (c-statistics = 0.706 and 0.765) with Banff ct. Overall, calibration was good on the training, but moderate on the validation set; discrimination was at least as good as established scores when applied to the validation set. CONCLUSION: Our flexible 2-Step Scores with optional inclusion of time-consuming and often unavailable nephropathology should yield good results for clinical practice in ET, and may be superior to established scores. Our scores are adaptable to donation after cardiac death and perfusion pump use.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a frequent complication following kidney transplant. This study aimed to assess the association between early post-operative lactate variation and DGF. METHODS: This was a single center, retrospective cohort study between February 2021 and December 2022 in Saint-Louis Hospital (APHP, France). Venous lactate levels were measured immediately (H0) and 4 h (H4) after kidney transplant. The primary outcome was the occurrence of DGF (need for renal replacement therapy between transplantation and day 7). Secondary outcome was the occurrence of complications (i.e., death, vascular thrombosis, hemorrhagic shock, urological complications (hematoma, urinoma), local or systemic infection) between transplant and day 7. RESULTS: Two hundred 12 patients were included, and 38 (17.9%) developed DGF. Venous lactate variation between H0 and H4 was higher in patients who developed DGF (-30 (IQR -83, -6)% vs. -15 (IQR -62, -11)%, p = .037), but the variation of level was more often positive (corresponding to an increased lactate production over time between H0 and H4) in patients who developed DGF ((28(85%) vs. 94(62%), p = .011). In multivariate logistic regression, positive venous lactate level variation between H0 and H4 was strongly associated with a reduced risk of developing DGF (OR .30 [.09-.79], p = .024). We did not find any association between post-operative hyperlactatemia and occurrence of complications between transplant and day 7. DISCUSSION: DGF is a frequent complication following kidney transplantation. Its early prediction could help physicians optimize treatment and protect the kidney. Early venous lactate variation after kidney transplant could help to predict the occurrence of DGF.

Describing risk factors and outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with oxalate nephropathy (ON) may help elucidate the pathogenesis and guide treatment strategies. We used a large single-center database to identify patients with ON and categorized them into delayed graft function with ON (DGF-ON) and late ON. Incidence density sampling was used to select controls. A total of 37 ON cases were diagnosed between 1/2011 and 1/2021. DGF-ON (n = 13) was diagnosed in 1.05% of the DGF population. Pancreatic atrophy on imaging (36.4% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.002) and gastric bypass history (7.7% vs. 0%; p = 0.06) were more common in DGF-ON than with controls with DGF requiring biopsy but without evidence of ON. DGF-ON was not associated with worse graft survival (p = 0.98) or death-censored graft survival (p = 0.48). Late ON (n = 24) was diagnosed after a mean of 78.2 months. Late ON patients were older (mean age 55.1 vs. 48.4 years; p = 0.02), more likely to be women (61.7% vs. 37.5%; p = 0.03), have gastric bypass history (8.3% vs. 0.8%; p = 0.02) and pancreatic atrophy on imaging (38.9% vs. 13.3%; p = 0.02). Late ON was associated with an increased risk of graft failure (HR 2.0; p = 0.07) and death-censored graft loss (HR 2.5; p = 0.10). We describe two phenotypes of ON after kidney transplantation: DGF-ON and late ON. Our study is the first to our knowledge to evaluate DGF-ON with DGF controls without ON. Although limited by small sample size, DGF-ON was not associated with adverse outcomes when compared with controls. Late ON predicted worse allograft outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: The study purpose was to review retrospectively our single-center experience transplanting kidneys from deceased donors (DD) with acute kidney injury (AKI) according to terminal serum creatinine (tSCr) level. METHODS: AKI kidneys were defined by a doubling of the DD's admission SCr and a tSCr ≥ 2.0 mg/dL. RESULTS: From 1/07 to 11/21, we transplanted 236 AKI DD kidneys, including 100 with a tSCr ≥ 3.0 mg/dL (high SCr AKI group, mean tSCr 4.2 mg/dL), and the remaining 136 from DDs with a tSCr of 2.0-2.99 mg/dL (lower SCr AKI group, mean tSCr 2.4 mg/dL). These two AKI groups were compared to 996 concurrent control patients receiving DD kidneys with a tSCr < 1.0 mg/dL. Mean follow-up was 69 months. Delayed graft function (DGF) rates were 51% versus 46% versus 29% (p < 0.0001), and 5-year patient and death-censored kidney graft survival rates were 96.8% versus 83.5% versus 82.2% (p = 0.002) and 86.7% versus 77.8% versus 78.8% (p = 0.18) in the high tSCr AKI versus lower tSCr AKI versus control groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a higher incidence of DGF, patients receiving kidneys from DDs with tSCr levels ≥3.0 mg/dL have acceptable medium-term outcomes compared to either AKI DDs with a lower tSCr or DDs with a tSCr < 1.0 mg/dL.

The impact of pre-transplant parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels on early or long-term kidney function after kidney transplantation is subject of debate. We assessed whether severe hyperparathyroidism is associated with delayed graft function (DGF), death-censored graft failure (DCGF), or all-cause mortality. In this single-center cohort study, we studied the relationship between PTH and other parameters related to bone and mineral metabolism, including serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at time of transplantation with the subsequent risk of DGF, DCGF and all-cause mortality using multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses. In 1,576 kidney transplant recipients (51.6 ± 14.0 years, 57.3% male), severe hyperparathyroidism characterized by pre-transplant PTH ≥771 pg/mL (>9 times the upper limit) was present in 121 patients. During 5.2 [0.2-30.0] years follow-up, 278 (15.7%) patients developed DGF, 150 (9.9%) DCGF and 432 (28.6%) died. A higher pre-transplant PTH was not associated with DGF (HR 1.06 [0.90-1.25]), DCGF (HR 0.98 [0.87-1.13]), or all-cause mortality (HR 1.02 [0.93-1.11]). Results were consistent in sensitivity analyses. The same applied to other parameters related to bone and mineral metabolism, including ALP. Severe pre-transplant hyperparathyroidism was not associated with an increased risk of DGF, DCGF or all-cause mortality, not supporting the need of correction before kidney transplantation to improve graft or patient survival.

Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is common and associated with worse graft outcomes. However, little is known about factors affecting graft survival post-DGF. We studied the association of cold ischemia time (CIT) and Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) with the long-term outcomes of deceased brain-dead donor kidneys with and without DGF. Data from Finland (n = 2,637) and from the US Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) registry (n = 61,405) was used. The association of KDPI and CIT with the graft survival of kidneys with or without DGF was studied using multivariable models. 849 (32%) kidneys had DGF in the Finnish cohort. DGF and KDPI were independent risk factors for graft loss, [HR 1.32 (95% CI 1.14-1.53), p < 0.001, and HR 1.01 per one point (95% CI 1.01-1.01), p < 0.001, respectively], but CIT was not, [HR 1.00 per CIT hour (95% CI 0.99-1.02), p = 0.84]. The association of DGF remained similar regardless of CIT and KDPI. The US cohort had similar results, but the association of DGF was stronger with higher KDPI. In conclusion, DGF and KDPI, but not CIT, are independently associated with graft survival. The association of DGF with worse graft survival is consistent across different CITs but stronger among marginal donors.

Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation heralds a worse prognosis. In patients with hyperoxaluria, the incidence of DGF is high. Oxalic acid is a waste product that accumulates when kidney function decreases. We hypothesize that residual diuresis and accumulated waste products influence the DGF incidence. Patients transplanted between 2018-2022 participated in the prospective cohort study. Pre-transplant concentrations of oxalic acid and its precursors were determined. Data on residual diuresis and other recipient, donor or transplant related variables were collected. 496 patients were included, 154 were not on dialysis. Oxalic acid, and glyoxylic acid, were above upper normal concentrations in 98.8%, and 100% of patients. Residual diuresis was ≤150 mL/min in 24% of patients. DGF occurred in 157 patients. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant influence of dialysis type, recipient BMI, donor type, age, and serum creatinine on the DGF risk. Residual diuresis and glycolic acid concentration were inversely proportionally related to this risk, glyoxylic acid directly proportionally. Results in the dialysis population showed the same results, but glyoxylic acid lacked significance. In conclusion, low residual diuresis is associated with increased DGF incidence. Possibly accumulated waste products also play a role. Pre-emptive transplantation may decrease the incidence of DGF.

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a frequently observed complication following kidney transplantation (KT). Our prior research revealed dynamic shifts in salivary microbiota post-KT with immediate graft function (IGF), yet its behavior during DGF remains unexplored. Five recipients with DGF and 35 recipients with IGF were enrolled. Saliva samples were collected during the perioperative period, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed. The salivary microbiota of IGFs changed significantly and gradually stabilized with the recovery of renal function. The salivary microbiota composition of DGFs was significantly different from that of IGFs, although the trend of variation appeared to be similar to that of IGFs. Salivary microbiota that differed significantly between patients with DGF and IGF at 1 day after transplantation were able to accurately distinguish the two groups in the randomForest algorithm (accuracy = 0.8333, sensitivity = 0.7778, specificity = 1, and area under curve = 0.85), with Selenomonas playing an important role. Bacteroidales (Spearman's r = - 0.4872 and p = 0.0293) and Veillonella (Spearmen's r = - 0.5474 and p = 0.0125) were significantly associated with the serum creatinine in DGF patients. Moreover, the significant differences in overall salivary microbiota structure between DGF and IGF patients disappeared upon long-term follow-up. This is the first study to investigate the dynamic changes in salivary microbiota in DGFs. Our findings suggested that salivary microbiota was able to predict DGF in the early stages after kidney transplantation, which might help the perioperative clinical management and early-stage intervention of kidney transplant recipients. KEY POINTS: ⢠Salivary microbiota on the first day after KT could predict DGF. ⢠Alterations in salivary taxa after KT are related to recovery of renal function.

BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function (DGF) is an important complication after kidney transplantation surgery. The present study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for preoperative prediction of DGF on the basis of clinical and histological risk factors. METHODS: The prediction model was constructed in a development cohort comprising 492 kidney transplant recipients from May 2018 to December 2019. Data regarding donor and recipient characteristics, pre-transplantation biopsy results, and machine perfusion parameters were collected, and univariate analysis was performed. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model was used for variable selection. The prediction model was developed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and presented as a nomogram. An external validation cohort comprising 105 transplantation cases from January 2020 to April 2020 was included in the analysis. RESULTS: 266 donors were included in the development cohort, 458 kidneys (93.1%) were preserved by hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP), 96 (19.51%) of 492 recipients developed DGF. Twenty-eight variables measured before transplantation surgery were included in the LASSO regression model. The nomogram consisted of 12 variables from donor characteristics, pre-transplantation biopsy results and machine perfusion parameters. Internal and external validation showed good discrimination and calibration of the nomogram, with Area Under Curve (AUC) 0.83 (95%CI, 0.78-0.88) and 0.87 (95%CI, 0.80-0.94). Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was clinically useful. CONCLUSION: A DGF predicting nomogram was developed that incorporated donor characteristics, pre-transplantation biopsy results, and machine perfusion parameters. This nomogram can be conveniently used for preoperative individualized prediction of DGF in kidney transplant recipients.

Delayed graft function (DGF) is an early complication after kidney transplantation. The literature on DGF has experienced substantial growth. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis of DGF. This study aimed to analyze the scientific outputs of DGF and explore its hotspots from 2013 to 2023 by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The 2058 pieces of literature collected in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2023 were visually analyzed in terms of the annual number of publications, authors, countries, journals, literature co-citations, and keyword clustering by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. We found that the number of papers published in the past ten years showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing; 2021 was the year with the most posts. The largest number of papers was published by the University of California System, and the largest number of papers was published by the United States. The top five keyword frequency rankings are: 'delayed graft function', 'kidney transplantation', 'renal transplantation', 'survival', and 'recipients'. These emerging trends include 'brain death donors', 'blood absence re-injection injuries', 'tacrolimus', 'older donors and recipients', and 'artificial intelligence and DGF'. In summary, this study reveals the authors and institutions that could be cooperated with and discusses the research hotspots in the past ten years. It provides a reference and direction for future research and application of DGF.

PURPOSE: The clinical outcomes of kidney transplantation from deceased donors have seen significant improvements with the use of machine perfusion (MP), now a standard practice in transplant centers. However, the use of perfusate biomarkers for assessing organ quality remains a subject of debate. Despite this, some centers incorporate them into their decision-making process for donor kidney acceptance. Recent studies have indicated that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glutathione S-transferase, interleukin-18, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) could predict post-transplant outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between August 2016 and June 2017, 31 deceased-donor after brain death were included and stroke was the main cause of death. Pediatric patients, hypersensitized recipients were excluded. 43 kidneys were subjected to machine perfusion. Perfusate samples were collected just before the transplantation and stored at -80ºC. Kidney transplant recipients have an average age of 52 years, 34,9% female, with a BMI 24,6±3,7. We employed receiver operating characteristic analysis to investigate associations between these perfusate biomarkers and two key clinical outcomes: delayed graft function and primary non-function. RESULTS: The incidence of delayed graft function was 23.3% and primary non-function was 14%. A strong association was found between NGAL concentration and DGF (AUC=0.766, 95% CI, P=0.012), and between LDH concentration and PNF (AUC=0.84, 95% CI, P=0.027). Other perfusate biomarkers did not show significant correlations with these clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION: The concentrations of NGAL and LDH during machine perfusion could assist transplant physicians in improving the allocation of donated organs and making challenging decisions regarding organ discarding. Further, larger-scale studies are required.

The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been increasing worldwide. Its treatment involves renal replacement therapy, either by dialyses or renal transplantation from a living or deceased donor. Although the initial mortality rates for patients on dialysis are comparable with kidney transplant recipients, the quality of life and long-term prognosis are greatly improved in transplanted patients. However, there is a large gap between availability and need for donor kidneys. This has led to the increase in the use of expanded kidney donor criteria. Allograft dysfunction immediately after transplant sets it up for many complications, such as acute rejection and shorter allograft survival. Delayed graft function (DGF) is one of the immediate posttransplant insults to the kidney allograft, which is increasing in prevalence due to efforts to maximize the available donor pool for kidneys and use of expanded kidney donor criteria. In this review, we discuss the risk factors for DGF, its implications for long-term allograft survival, animal models of DGF, and the therapeutic options currently under evaluation for prevention and management of DGF.

Donor and recipient obesity (defined using body mass index [BMI]) are associated with worse outcomes after kidney transplant (KT). In adult KT recipients identified using the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (2000-2017), we examined the modifying effect of recipient race on recipient obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and combined donor and recipient (DR) obesity pairing, with death-censored graft loss (DCGL), all-cause graft loss (ACGL), and short-term graft outcomes using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and logistic regression. Obesity was associated with a higher risk of DCGL in White (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.29; 95% CI, 1.25-1.35) than Black (aHR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08-1.19) recipients. White, but not Black, recipients with obesity were at higher risk for ACGL (aHR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.05-1.11, for White recipients; aHR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.95-1.02, for Black recipients). Relative to nonobese DR, White recipients with combined DR obesity experienced more DCGL (aHR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.29-1.47 for White; aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.10-1.29 for Black) and ACGL (aHR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07-1.17 for White; aHR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.94-1.07 for Black) than Black recipients. Short-term obesity risk was similar irrespective of race. An elevated BMI differentially affects long-term outcomes in Black and White KT recipients; uniform BMI thresholds to define transplant eligibility are likely inappropriate.
