Abstract
- Objectives: High terminal serum creatinine level in a deceased donor has been reported as the second most frequent cause of refusal for kidney transplantation. A growing body of evidence has shown a comparable outcome of kidney transplantation from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the influence of the severity of AKI on graft outcomes remains to be elucidated.<br />Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 84 consecutive kidney transplants from 57 standard-criteria donors were classified into 4 groups by RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of function, and End-stage renal disease) classification according to donor AKI severity before kidney procurement. The donor and recipient characteristics and graft outcomes were compared.<br />Results: Of 84 kidney transplants, 56, 11, 10, and 7 recipients were in the Non-AKI, Risk, Injury, and Failure groups. The mean terminal creatinine was 1.1, 1.6, 2.3, and 4.4 mg/dL in these 4 groups. However, the graft outcomes, including primary nonfunction rate, delayed graft function rate, acute rejection rate, renal function, graft survival and overall survival over the first 5 years had no statistical difference. A trend toward increasing delayed graft function rate as the severity of AKI increased was observed (Non-AKI, Risk, Injury, and Failure: 26.8%, 36.4%, 60.0%, and 57.1%, P = .099).<br />Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that AKI before procurement does not cause adverse long-term graft outcomes. Standard-criteria donors with AKI are suitable for kidney transplantation, even with a high severity of AKI.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
