Impaired renal function before kidney procurement has a deleterious impact on allograft survival in very old deceased kidney donors.

ABSTRACT: As the use of elderly kidney donors for transplantation is increasing with time, there is a need to understand which factors impact on their prognosis. No data exist on the impact of an impaired renal function (IRF) in such population. 116 kidney recipients from deceased kidney donors over 70 years were included from 2005 to 2015 in a single-center retrospective study. IRF before organ procurement was defined as a serum creatinine above 1.0 mg/dl or a transient episode of oligo-anuria. Mean ages for donors and recipients were respectively 74.8 ± 3.5 and 66.7 ± 8.0. Graft survival censored for death at 5 years was of 77%. Using a multivariate analysis by Cox model, the only predictor of graft loss present in the donor was IRF before organ procurement (HR 4.2 CI95[1.8-9.7]). IRF was also associated with significant lower estimated glomerular filtration rates up to 1 year post-transplantation. By contrast, KDPI score (median of 98 [96-100]), was not associated with the risk of graft failure. Then, IRF before kidney procurement may define a risk subgroup among very-old deceased kidney donors, in whom pre-implantatory biopsies, dual kidney transplantation or calcineurin inhibitor-free immunosuppressive regimen could help to improve outcomes.

Project description:Background and objectivesUnfavorable histology on procurement biopsies is the most common reason for deceased donor kidney discard. We sought to assess the reproducibility of procurement biopsy findings.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe compiled a continuous cohort of deceased donor kidneys transplanted at our institution from 1/1/2006 to 12/31/2016 that had at least one procurement biopsy performed, and excluded cases with missing biopsy reports and those used in multiorgan transplants. Suboptimal histology was defined as the presence of advanced sclerosis in greater than or equal to one biopsy compartment (glomeruli, tubules/interstitium, vessels). We calculated κ coefficients to assess agreement in optimal versus suboptimal classification between sequential biopsy reports for kidneys that underwent multiple procurement biopsies and used time-to-event analysis to evaluate the association between first versus second biopsies and patient and allograft survival.ResultsOf the 1011 kidneys included in our cohort, 606 (60%) had multiple procurement biopsies; 98% had first biopsy performed at another organ procurement organization and their second biopsy performed locally. Categorical agreement was highest for vascular disease (κ=0.17) followed by interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (κ=0.12) and glomerulosclerosis (κ=0.12). Overall histologic agreement (optimal versus suboptimal) was κ=0.15. First biopsy histology had no association with allograft survival in unadjusted or adjusted analyses. However, second biopsy optimal histology was associated with a higher probability of death-censored allograft survival, even after adjusting for donor and recipient factors (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.34 to 0.75; P=0.001).ConclusionsDeceased donor kidneys that underwent multiple procurement biopsies often displayed substantial differences in histologic categorization in sequential biopsies, and there was no association between first biopsy findings and post-transplant outcomes.
