Renal Dysfunction After Liver Transplantation: Effect of Donor Type.

ABSTRACT: Recipients of donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts are reportedly at higher risk of developing renal dysfunction after liver transplantation (LT). We compared the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after LT in recipients of DCD versus donation after brain death (DBD) or living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) livers. Adult recipients of DBD, LDLT, and DCD between 2012 and 2016 at Toronto General Hospital were included. AKI was defined as a post-LT increase of serum creatinine (sCr) ?26.5 µmol/L within 48 hours or a ?50% increase from baseline, and CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/minute for >3 months. A total of 681 patients (DCD, n = 57; DBD, n = 446; and LDLT, n = 178) with similar baseline comorbidities were included. Perioperative AKI (within the first 7 postoperative days) was observed more frequently in the DCD group (61%; DBD, 40%; and LDLT, 44%; P = 0.01) and was associated with significantly higher peak AST levels (P < 0.001). Additionally, patients in the DCD group had a significantly higher peak sCr (P < 0.001) and a trend toward higher rates of AKI stage 3 (DCD, 33%; DBD, 21%; LDLT, 21%; P = 0.11). The proportions of recovery from AKI (DCD, 77%; DBD, 72%; LDLT, 78%; P = 0.45) and patients developing CKD (DCD, 33%; DBD, 32%; LDLT, 32%; P = 0.99) were similar. Nevertheless, patients who received DCD or DBD LT and required perioperative renal replacement therapy showed significantly lower patient survival in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 7.90; 95% confidence interval, 4.51-13.83; P < 0.001). In conclusion, recipients of DCD liver grafts experience higher rates of short-term post-LT renal dysfunction compared with DBD or LDLT. Additional risk factors for the development of severe kidney injury, such as high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, massive transfusions, or donor age ?60 years should be avoided.

Project description:This study evaluated the combined effect of recipient-to-donor weight and sex mismatch after deceased-donor renal transplantation in a German transplant cohort and the evolution of recipient-to-donor weight difference over a 13-year observation period. The association of absolute weight and sex difference with graft failure was explored in an outpatient cohort of deceased-donor transplant recipients who underwent kidney transplantation between 2000 and 2012. Graft failure was defined as repeated need for dialysis or death with a functioning graft. Recipient and donor sex pairings were classified as sex concordant (MDMR/FDFR) or discordant (MDFR/FDMR). These classes were further stratified into four groups according to recipient-to-donor weight mismatch ≥10 kg (recipient > donor) or <10 kg (recipient < donor). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the time to graft loss adjusting for donor, immunologic, surgical, organizational, and recipient predictors. Sex-concordant transplant pairings <10 kg weight difference served as the reference group. Among 826 transplant recipients, 154 developed graft failure (18.6%). Median graft survival time was 3.9 years; first quartile (0.2-1.2), second quartile (1.2-2.9), third quartile (2.9-5.8), and fourth quartile (5.8-12.4). After multivariable adjustment, the highest relative hazard for graft failure was observed for sex-discordant transplant pairings with a ≥10 kg weight difference between recipient and donor (compared to the reference group MDMR/FDFR with weight difference <10 kg, MDMR/FDFR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 1.86, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.32-p = 0.029; MDFR/FDMR with weight difference <10 kg, hazard ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.68-p = 0.507, and MDFR/FDMR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.15-3.48-p = 0.014). A recipient-to-donor weight mismatch of ≥10 kg was associated with an increased risk of graft loss or recipient death with a functioning graft. Concurrent sex discordance seemed to enhance this effect as indicated by an increase in the hazard ratio. We detected no significant tendency for increasing recipient-to-donor weight differences from 2000 to 2012.

Project description:Adult-to-adult living donors and recipients were studied to characterize patterns of liver growth and identify associated factors in a multicenter study. Three hundred and fifty donors and 353 recipients in the Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL) receiving transplants between March 2003 and February 2010 were included. Potential predictors of 3-month liver volume included total and standard liver volumes (TLV and SLV), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score (in recipients), the remnant and graft size, remnant-to-donor and graft-to-recipient weight ratios (RDWR and GRWR), remnant/TLV, and graft/SLV. Among donors, 3-month absolute growth was 676 ± 251 g (mean ± SD), and percentage reconstitution was 80% ± 13%. Among recipients, GRWR was 1.3% ± 0.4% (8 < 0.8%). Graft weight was 60% ± 13% of SLV. Three-month absolute growth was 549 ± 267 g, and percentage reconstitution was 93% ± 18%. Predictors of greater 3-month liver volume included larger patient size (donors and recipients), larger graft volume (recipients), and larger TLV (donors). Donors with the smallest remnant/TLV ratios had larger than expected growth but also had higher postoperative bilirubin and international normalized ratio at 7 and 30 days. In a combined donor-recipient analysis, donors had smaller 3-month liver volumes than recipients adjusted for patient size, remnant or graft volume, and TLV or SLV (P = 0.004). Recipient graft failure in the first 90 days was predicted by poor graft function at day 7 (HR = 4.50, P = 0.001) but not by GRWR or graft fraction (P > 0.90 for each). Both donors and recipients had rapid yet incomplete restoration of tissue mass in the first 3 months, and this confirmed previous reports. Recipients achieved a greater percentage of expected total volume. Patient size and recipient graft volume significantly influenced 3-month volumes. Importantly, donor liver volume is a critical predictor of the rate of regeneration, and donor remnant fraction affects postresection function. Liver Transpl 21:79-88, 2015. © 2014 AASLD.
