Mannitol and renal graft injury in patients undergoing deceased donor renal transplantation - a randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with renal tissue damage during deceased donor renal transplantation. The effect of mannitol to reduce I/R injury during graft reperfusion in renal transplant recipients is based on weak evidence. We evaluated the effect of mannitol to reduce renal graft injury represented by 16 serum biomarkers, which are indicators for different important pathophysiological pathways. Our primary outcome were differences in biomarker concentrations between the mannitol and the placebo group 24?h after graft reperfusion. Additionally, we performed a linear mixed linear model to account biomarker concentrations before renal transplantation. METHODS:Thirty-four patients undergoing deceased donor renal transplantation were randomly assigned to receive either 20% mannitol or 0.9% NaCl placebo solution before, during, and after graft reperfusion. Sixteen serum biomarkers (MMP1, CHI3L1, CCL2, MMP8, HGF, GH, FGF23, Tie2, VCAM1, TNFR1, IGFBP7, IL18, NGAL, Endostatin, CystC, KIM1) were measured preoperatively and 24?h after graft reperfusion using Luminex assays and ELISA. RESULTS:Sixteen patients in each group were analysed. Tie2 differed 24?h after graft reperfusion between both groups (p?=?0.011). Change of log2 transformed concentration levels over time differed significantly in four biomarkers (VCAM1,Endostatin, KIM1, GH; p?=?0.007; p?=?0.013; p?=?0.004; p?=?0.033; respectively) out of 16 between both groups. CONCLUSION:This study showed no effect of mannitol on I/R injury in patients undergoing deceased renal transplantation. Thus, we do not support the routinely use of mannitol to attenuate I/R injury.

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:Using kidneys from deceased donors is an available strategy to meet the growing need of grafts. However, higher incidences of delayed graft function (DGF) and acute rejection exert adverse effects on graft outcomes. Since ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and ongoing process of immune response to grafts are the major causes of DGF and acute rejection, the optimal induction intervention should possess capacities of both repairing renal structure injury and suppressing immune response simultaneously. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with potent anti-inflammatory, regenerative and immune-modulatory properties are considered as a candidate to prevent both DGF and acute rejection in renal transplantation. Previous studies just focused on the safety of autologous MSCs on living-related donor renal transplants, and lack of concomitant controls and the sufficient sample size and source of MSCs. Here, we propose a prospective multicenter controlled study to assess the clinical value of allogeneic MSCs in preventing both DGF and acute rejection simultaneously as induction therapy in deceased-donor renal transplantation.Renal allograft recipients (n?=?100) will be recruited and divided into trial and control groups, and 50 patients in the trial group will be administered with a dose of 2?×?106 per kilogram human umbilical-cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) via peripheral vein injection preoperatively, and a dose of 5?×?106 cells via renal arterial injection during surgery, with standard induction therapy. Incidences of postoperative DGF and biopsy-proved acute rejection (BPAR) will be recorded and analyzed. Additionally, other clinical parameters such as baseline demographics, graft and recipient survival and other severe postoperative complications, including complicated urinary tract infection, severe pneumonia, and severe bleeding, will be also assessed.This study will clarify the clinical value of UC-MSCs in preventing DGF and acute rejection simultaneously in deceased-donor renal transplantation, and provide evidence as to whether allogeneic MSCs can be used as clinically feasible and safe induction therapy.ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02490020 .

Project description:Importance:The shortage of deceased donor kidneys for transplants is an ongoing concern. Prior studies support transplanting kidneys from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI), but those investigations have been subject to selection bias and small sample sizes. Current allocation practices of AKI kidneys in the United States are not well characterized. Objectives:To evaluate the association of deceased donor AKI with recipient graft survival and to characterize recovery and discard practices for AKI kidneys by organ procurement organizations. Design, Setting, and Participants:Registry-based, propensity score-matched cohort study from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2013, in the United States. The dates of analysis were March 1 to November 1, 2019. From 2010 to 2013, a total of 6832 deceased donors with AKI and 15?310 deceased donors without AKI had at least 1 kidney transplanted. This study used a 1:1, propensity score-matched analysis to match deceased donors with AKI to deceased donors without AKI and investigated outcomes in their corresponding kidney recipients. Exposure:Deceased donor AKI, defined as at least 50% or 0.3-mg/dL increase in terminal serum creatinine level from admission. Main Outcomes and Measures:Recipients were assessed for the time to death-censored graft failure and the following secondary outcomes: delayed graft function, primary nonfunction, and the time to all-cause graft failure. Results:Ninety-eight percent (6722 of 6832) of deceased donors with AKI were matched to deceased donors without AKI. The mean (SD) age of the 13?444 deceased donors was 40.4 (14.4) years, and 63% (8529 of 13?444) were male. A total of 25?323 recipients were analyzed (15?485 [61%] were male), and their mean (SD) age was 52.0 (14.7) years. Recipients were followed up for a median of 5 (interquartile range, 4-6) years. Deceased donor AKI status had no association with death-censored graft failure (hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95-1.08) or all-cause graft failure (hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.93-1.02). The results were consistent after examining by AKI stage and adjusting for recipient and transplant characteristics. More recipients of AKI kidneys developed delayed graft function (29% vs 22%, P?<?.001). Few recipients (120 of 25?323 [0.5%]) developed primary nonfunction regardless of deceased donor AKI status. Recovery and transplantation of AKI kidneys varied by organ procurement organization; most (39 of 58) had high recovery and high discard of AKI kidneys. Conclusions and Relevance:Deceased donor AKI kidneys transplanted in the study period had recipient graft survival comparable to that of non-AKI kidneys. This study's findings suggest that the transplant community should evaluate whether currently discarded AKI kidneys from donors without substantial comorbidities can be used more effectively.

Project description:Several recipient biomarkers are reported to predict graft dysfunction, but these are not useful in decision making for the acceptance or allocation of deceased donor kidneys; thus, it is necessary to develop donor biomarkers predictive of graft dysfunction. To address this issue, we prospectively enrolled 94 deceased donors and their 109 recipients who underwent transplantation between 2010 and 2013 at 4 Korean transplantation centers. We investigated the predictive values of donor urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and L-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) for reduced graft function (RGF). We also developed a prediction model of RGF using these donor biomarkers. RGF was defined as delayed or slow graft function. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to generate a prediction model, which was internally validated using a bootstrapping method. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the association of biomarkers with 1-year graft function. Notably, donor urinary NGAL levels were associated with donor AKI (P = 0.014), and donor urinary NGAL and L-FABP were predictive for RGF, with area under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUROC) of 0.758 and 0.704 for NGAL and L-FABP, respectively. The best-fit model including donor urinary NGAL, L-FABP, and serum creatinine conveyed a better predictive value for RGF than donor serum creatinine alone (P = 0.02). In addition, we generated a scoring method to predict RGF based on donor urinary NGAL, L-FABP, and serum creatinine levels. Diagnostic performance of the RGF prediction score (AUROC 0.808) was significantly better than that of the DGF calculator (AUROC 0.627) and the kidney donor profile index (AUROC 0.606). Donor urinary L-FABP levels were also predictive of 1-year graft function (P = 0.005). Collectively, these findings suggest donor urinary NGAL and L-FABP to be useful biomarkers for RGF, and support the use of a new scoring system based on donor biomarkers to facilitate decision-making in acceptance and allocation of deceased donor kidneys and contribute to maximal organ utilization.

Project description:BackgroundMyosteatosis is associated with perioperative outcomes in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Here, we investigated the effects of body composition and myosteatosis on long-term graft and patient survival following OLT.MethodsClinical data from 225 consecutive OLT recipients from a prospective database were retrospectively analysed (May 2010 to December 2017). Computed tomography-based lumbar skeletal muscle index (SMI) (muscle mass) and mean skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SM-RA) (myosteatosis) were calculated using a segmentation tool (3D Slicer). Patients with low skeletal muscle mass (low SMI) and myosteatosis (low SM-RA) were identified using predefined and validated cut-off values.ResultsThe mean donor and recipient age was 55 ± 16 and 54 ± 12 years, respectively. Some 67% of the recipients were male. The probability of graft and patient survival was significantly lower in patients with myosteatosis compared with patients with higher SM-RA values (P = 0.011 and P = 0.001, respectively). Low skeletal muscle mass alone was not associated with graft and patient survival (P = 0.273 and P = 0.278, respectively). Dividing the cohort into quartiles, based on the values of SMI and SM-RA, resulted in significant differences in patient but not in graft survival (P = 0.011). Even though multivariable analysis identified low SM-RA as an important prognostic marker (hazard ratio: 2.260, 95% confidence interval: 1.177-4.340, P = 0.014), myosteatosis lost its significance when early mortality (90 days) was excluded from the final multivariable model. Patients with myosteatosis showed significantly higher all-cause mortality and in particular higher rates of deaths due to respiratory and septic complication (P = 0.002, P = 0.022, and P = 0.049, respectively).ConclusionsPreoperative myosteatosis may be an important prognostic marker in patients undergoing deceased donor liver transplantation. The prognostic value of myosteatosis seems to be particularly important in the early post-operative phase. Validation in prospective clinical trials is warranted.
