Abstract
Many deceased by neurologic criteria donors are administered inhalational agents during organ recovery surgery-a process that is characterised by warm and cold ischaemia followed by warm reperfusion. In certain settings, volatile anaesthetics (VA) are known to precondition organs to protect them from subsequent ischaemia-reperfusion injury. As such, we hypothesised that exposure to VA during organ procurement would improve post-graft survival. Lifebanc (organ procurement organisation [OPO] for NE Ohio) provided the investigators with a list of death by neurologic criteria organ donors cared for at three large tertiary hospitals in Cleveland between 2006 and 2016-details about the surgical recovery phase were extracted from the organ donors' medical records. De-identified data on graft survival were obtained from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). The collated data underwent comparative analysis based on whether or not VA were administered during procurement surgery. Records from 213 donors were obtained for analysis with 138 exposed and 75 not exposed. Demographics, medical histories, and organ procurement rates were similar between the two cohorts. For the primary endpoint, there were no significant differences observed in either early (30-day) or late (five-year) graft survival rates for kidney, liver, lung, or heart transplants. Our findings from this retrospective review of a relatively small cohort do not support the hypothesis that the use of VA during the surgical procurement phase improves graft survival. Reviews of larger datasets and/or a prospective study may be required to provide a definitive answer.

Glutathione S-transferase iso-enzymes in perfusate from pumped kidneys are associated with delayed graft function. Am J Transplant 2014; 14:886-96.

Abstract
Accurate and reliable assessment tools are needed in transplantation. The objective of this prospective, multi-center study was to determine the associations of the alpha and pi iso-enzymes of glutathione S-transferase (GST), measured from perfusate solution at the start and end (base and post) of kidney allograft machine perfusion, with subsequent delayed graft function (DGF). We also compared GST iso-enzyme perfusate levels from discarded versus transplanted kidneys. A total of 428 kidneys were linked to outcomes as recorded by the United Network of Organ Sharing. DGF, defined as any dialysis in the first week of transplant, occurred in 141 recipients (32%). Alpha- and pi-GST levels significantly increased during machine perfusion. The adjusted relative risks (95% confidence interval) of DGF with each log-unit increase in base and post pi-GST were 1.14 (1.0-1.3) and 1.36 (1.1-1.8), respectively. Alpha-GST was not independently associated with DGF. There were no significant differences in GST values between discarded and transplanted kidneys, though renal resistance was significantly higher in discarded kidneys. We found pi-GST at the end of machine perfusion to be independently associated with DGF. Further studies should elucidate the utility of GST for identifying injured kidneys with regard to organ allocation, discard and recipient management decisions.
