Clinical effects of renal transplantation with kidneys from donors dying of organophosphate poisoning / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Delayed graft function (DGF) occurs frequently in kidney transplants from donation after cardiac death if creatinine level is high in kidney recipients. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical effects of renal transplantation with kidneys from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. METHODS:Data were col ected from kidney transplants from two donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. After some donor maintenance, donor organ were obtained and perfused with impulse type machine. Recipients were treated with intervention of immunity induction, anti-rejection drugs and infection prevention drugs during and after renal transplantation. Pathological data of donor kidney zero needle biopsy, DGF after kidney transplantation, complication rate (such as acute rejection), renal al ograft recovery situation, the survival rate of recipients and kidney transplants were col ected and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Needle biopsy results from four donor kidneys showed that glomerular morphology was normal, but there were edema and degeneration in kidney tubules in some degree. Donor DGF rate was 75%(3/4), acute rejection rate was 0%(0/4), perioperative period donor kidney and recipient survival rate were 100%(4/4). Al recipients showed a good result of transplanted kidney, their creatinine and urea nitrogen were at low level, and had no proteinuria. One recipient died of severe pulmonary infection 4 months after surgery. For some organophosphate poisoning donors dying of cardiac death, donor kidney quality can be improved by suitable donor maintenance and high-quality donor kidney preservation using machine perfusion. Kidney transplants from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning who receive the maintenance of organ function may be a promising candidate for renal transplantation due to a severe lack of kidney donor sources.
