Risk factors of delayed graft function following living donor kidney transplantation: A meta-analysis. Transpl Immunol 2024; 86:102094. [PMID: 39053613 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2024.102094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common condition that necessitates dialysis during the first week after transplantation. Although DGF rarely occurs following living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), it may eventually lead to acute or chronic graft rejection. This study aimed to assess the risk factors for DGF in patients who underwent LDKT. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published before August 2022 was conducted using the PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) databases. The review included studies that assessed the incidence of DGF following LDKT, and examined its risk factors, while excluding studies involving deceased donors. Potential risk factors were analyzed using pooled mean differences or odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Review Manager 5.3 was used for the meta-analysis. RESULTS Among the 13 included studies, 3685 cases of DGF were identified in a total of 113,261 patients (3.25%). Potential risk factors for DGF following LDKT were examined across several aspects, including donor, recipient, donor/recipient relationship, and immunological and intraoperative factors. The identified risk factors included older donors (P = 0.07), male recipients (P < 0.0001), higher recipient body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.0001), non-white recipients (P < 0.0001), pre-existing diabetes (P < 0.0001), pre-existing hypertension (P = 0.01), history of dialysis (P < 0.0001), re-transplantation (P = 0.004), unrelated donor/recipient (P = 0.02), ABO incompatibility (P < 0.0001), higher panel reactive antibody (PRA) levels (P < 0.0001), utilization of right kidney (P < 0.0001), and longer cold ischemia time (CIT) (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Several factors related to the donor, recipient, donor/recipient relationship, and immunological and intraoperative aspects were identified as potential risk factors for the development of DGF following LDKT. Addressing and optimizing these factors may improve the long-term outcomes of LDKT.

Role of Renal Venous Oxygen Pressure for Renal Function Monitoring After Related Living-Donor Kidney Transplantation: Cohort Study. Transplant Proc 2024; 56:23-30. [PMID: 38246804 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2023.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring of renal function after kidney transplantation (KT) is performed by measuring serum creatinine (SCr), urine volumes (UV), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Other methods based on oxygen metabolism, such as the renal venous oxygen pressure (PrvO2), may be useful. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between PrvO2 and SCr, UV, and GFR 5 days after KT (SCr5, UV5, and GFR5, respectively). METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in adults scheduled for living donor KT. A venous blood sample was taken from the renal vein after declamping the renal artery, and blood gas determinations were made. Correlation analyses between PrvO2 and SCr5, UV5, and GFR5 were done by calculating Spearman's correlation coefficient with generalized linear models (GLM). A Spearman's correlation analysis was performed between the percentage decrease in SCr (%ΔSCr) and PrvO2. A GLM was also performed to determine the association of PrvO2 with slow graft function (SGF). RESULTS The study included 42 patients, of whom 67% were men. The median age was 31 years (IQR, 27-43.5). PrvO2 was negatively correlated with SCr5 (ρ = -0.53, P = .003), and positively correlated with GFR5 (ρ = 0.49, P = .001) and %ΔSCr (ρ = 0.47, P = .002). A higher PrvO2 was associated with an increase in GFR in univariable (β = 1.24, 95% CI, 0.56-1.93, P = .001) and multivariable (β = 1.24, 95% CI, 0.53-1.94, P = .001) analyses. No association was found between PrvO2 and SGF. CONCLUSION PrvO2 could be used to monitor renal function in the first 5 days after related living-donor KT, given its good correlation with SCr and GFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND to analyse the effect of haematological indices on the occurrence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in patients undergoing kidney transplantation and on the function of the transplanted kidney on the 7th postoperative day. METHODS 365 recipients who underwent kidney transplantation from a donor with known brain death between 2010 and 2017 were included in this retrospective study. Information from patient medical records, donor medical records, and donation and transplantation protocols was used for analysis. Statistica 13 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS In the study group, DGF occurred in 144 recipients (39.45%), and Non-Graft Function (NGF) occurred in 12 recipients (3.29%). Recipients who developed DGF had a significantly higher Neutrophil/Monocyte Ratio (NMR) before renal transplantation (p = 0.048), a lower NMR value on postoperative day 1 (p < 0.001), and a difference between the values on day 1 and before surgery (p < 0.001). In addition, they had a significantly lower Lymphocyte/Monocyte Ratio (LMR) on postoperative day 1 LMR 1 (p < 0.001). It was shown that the value of the indices based on the ROC curve-NMR1 > 29.29, NMR1-0 > 22.71, and LMR1 > 1.74 (respectively: AUC = 0.624; 95% CI 0.566-0.682; and p < 0.001/AUC = 0.622; 95% CI 0.563-0.680; and p < 0.001/AUC = 0.610; 95% CI 0.550-0.670; and p < 0.001)-can be used to identify recipients with a significant probability of DGF. CONCLUSIONS the NMR and LMR parameters on the first postoperative day and the difference between the NMR values on the first post-transplant day and the first pre-transplant day are predictive factors associated with the risk of DGF.

Abstract
Despite the advances in therapeutic interventions, solid organ transplantation (SOT) remains the "gold standard" treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. Recently, vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has reemerged as a feasible treatment option for patients with complex composite tissue defects. In both SOT and VCA, ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable and is a predominant factor that can adversely affect transplant outcome by potentiating early graft dysfunction and/or graft rejection. Restoration of oxygenated blood supply to an organ which was previously hypoxic or ischemic for a period of time triggers cellular oxidative stress, production of both, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, infiltration of innate immune cells and amplifies adaptive alloimmune responses in the affected allograft. Currently, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for the treatment of IRI are unavailable, therefore an efficacious therapeutic modality to prevent, reduce and/or alleviate allograft damages caused by IRI induced inflammation is warranted to achieve the best-possible transplant outcome among recipients. The tolerogenic capacity of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), have been extensively studied in the context of transplant rejection, autoimmunity, and cancer. It was not until recently that Tregs have been recognized as a potential cell therapeutic candidate to be exploited for the prevention and/or treatment of IRI, owing to their immunomodulatory potential. Tregs can mitigate cellular oxidative stress, produce anti-inflammatory cytokines, promote wound healing, and tissue repair and prevent the infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells in injured tissues. By using strategic approaches to increase the number of Tregs and to promote targeted delivery, the outcome of SOT and VCA can be improved. This review focuses on two sections: (a) the therapeutic potential of Tregs in preventing and mitigating IRI in the context of SOT and VCA and (b) novel strategies on how Tregs could be utilized for the prevention and/or treatment of IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cross-species immunological incompatibilities have hampered pig-to-human xenotransplantation, but porcine genome engineering recently enabled the first successful experiments. However, little is known about the immune response after the transplantation of pig kidneys to human recipients. We aimed to precisely characterise the early immune responses to the xenotransplantation using a multimodal deep phenotyping approach. METHODS We did a complete phenotyping of two pig kidney xenografts transplanted to decedent humans. We used a multimodal strategy combining morphological evaluation, immunophenotyping (IgM, IgG, C4d, CD68, CD15, NKp46, CD3, CD20, and von Willebrand factor), gene expression profiling, and whole-transcriptome digital spatial profiling and cell deconvolution. Xenografts before implantation, wild-type pig kidney autografts, as well as wild-type, non-transplanted pig kidneys with and without ischaemia-reperfusion were used as controls. FINDINGS The data collected from xenografts suggested early signs of antibody-mediated rejection, characterised by microvascular inflammation with immune deposits, endothelial cell activation, and positive xenoreactive crossmatches. Capillary inflammation was mainly composed of intravascular CD68+ and CD15+ innate immune cells, as well as NKp46+ cells. Both xenografts showed increased expression of genes biologically related to a humoral response, including monocyte and macrophage activation, natural killer cell burden, endothelial activation, complement activation, and T-cell development. Whole-transcriptome digital spatial profiling showed that antibody-mediated injury was mainly located in the glomeruli of the xenografts, with significant enrichment of transcripts associated with monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer cells. This phenotype was not observed in control pig kidney autografts or in ischaemia-reperfusion models. INTERPRETATION Despite favourable short-term outcomes and absence of hyperacute injuries, our findings suggest that antibody-mediated rejection in pig-to-human kidney xenografts might be occurring. Our results suggest specific therapeutic targets towards the humoral arm of rejection to improve xenotransplantation results. FUNDING OrganX and MSD Avenir.

Abstract
Background Prolonged warm ischemia time (WIT) and cold ischemia time (CIT) are independently associated with post-transplant graft failure; their combined impact has not been previously studied. We explored the effect of combined WIT/CIT on all-cause graft failure following kidney transplantation. Methods The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients was used to identify kidney transplant recipients from January 2000 to March 2015 (after which WIT was no longer separately reported), and patients were followed until September 2017. A combined WIT/CIT variable (excluding extreme values) was separately derived for live and deceased donor recipients using cubic splines; for live donor recipients, the reference group was WIT 10 to <23 minutes and CIT >0 to <0.42 hours, and for deceased donor recipients the WIT was 10 to <25 minutes and CIT 1 to <7.75 hours. The adjusted association between combined WIT/CIT and all-cause graft failure (including death) was analyzed using Cox regression. Secondary outcomes included delayed graft function (DGF). Results A total of 137 125 recipients were included. For live donor recipients, patients with prolonged WIT/CIT (60 to ≤120 minutes/3.04 to ≤24 hours) had the highest adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for graft failure (HR = 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14-2.29 relative to the reference group). For deceased donor recipients, a WIT/CIT of 63 to ≤120 minutes/28 to ≤48 hours was associated with an adjusted HR of 1.35 (95% CI = 1.16-1.58). Prolonged WIT/CIT was also associated with DGF for both groups although the impact was more driven by CIT. Conclusions Combined WIT/CIT is associated with graft loss following transplantation. Acknowledging that these are separate variables with different determinants, we emphasize the importance of capturing WIT and CIT independently. Furthermore, efforts to reduce WIT and CIT should be prioritized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury is inevitable in kidney transplantation, and is essential for primary graft dysfunction and delayed graft function. Our previous study has proved that miR-92a could ameliorate kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury, but the mechanism has not been studied. METHODS This study conducted further research on the role of miR-92a in kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury and organ preservation. In vivo, mice models of bilateral kidney ischemia (30 min), cold preservation after ischemia (cold preservation time of 6, 12, and 24 h), and ischemia-reperfusion (reperfusion time of 24, 48, and 72 h) were established. Before or after modeling, the model mice were injected with miR-92a-agomir through the caudal vein. In vitro, the hypoxia-reoxygenation of HK-2 cells was used to simulate ischemia-reperfusion injury. RESULTS Kidney ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion significantly damaged kidney function, decreased the expression of miR-92a, and increased apoptosis and autophagy in kidneys. miR-92a agomir tail vein injection significantly increased the expression of miR-92a in kidneys, improved kidney function, and alleviated kidney injury, and the intervention before modeling achieved a better effect than after. Moreover, miR-92a agomir significantly reduced the apoptosis and autophagy in HK-2 cells induced by hypoxia, hypoxia-reoxygenation, and rapamycin, while miR-92a antagomir had opposite effects. Furthermore, mitogen-activated protein kinase, c-Jun NH (2) terminal kinase, caspase 3, Beclin 1, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B were inhibited by overexpression of miR-92a both in vivo and in vitro, which in turn reduced apoptosis and autophagy. CONCLUSIONS Our results prove that overexpression of miR-92a attenuated kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury and improved kidney preservation, and intervention before ischemia-reperfusion provides better protection than after.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is prone to occur after kidney transplantation, leading to delayed graft function (DGF). MicroRNAs play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury, and miR-20a-5p was found to be the most significantly upregulated gene in a DGF patient cohort. However, the roles of microRNAs in transplanted kidneys remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that miR-20a-5p was upregulated in the kidneys of acute kidney injury mice and in patients with DGF. We identified early growth response-1 as a critical upstream target and verified the binding of early growth response-1 to a predicted sequence in the promoter region of the miR-20a-5p gene. Functionally, the miR-20a-5p mimic attenuated IRI and postischemic renal fibrosis, whereas the miR-20a-5p inhibitor delivery aggravated IRI and fibrosis. Importantly, delivery of the miR-20a-5p mimic or inhibitor in the donor kidneys attenuated or aggravated renal loss and structural damage in cold storage transplantation injury. Furthermore, our study identified miR-20a-5p as a negative regulator of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) by targeting the 3' untranslated region of ACSL4 mRNA, thereby inhibiting ACSL4-dependent ferroptosis. Our results suggest a potential therapeutic application of miR-20a-5p in kidney transplantation through the inhibition of ACSL4-dependent ferroptosis.

Eplet-Predicted Antigens: An Attempt to Introduce Eplets into Unacceptable Antigen Determination and Calculated Panel-Reactive Antibody Calculation Facilitating Kidney Allocation. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12122983. [PMID: 36552990 PMCID: PMC9776513 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12122983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Calculated panel-reactive antibody (CPRA) is a measure of sensitization based on unacceptable antigens (UAs). Determination of UAs based on single-antigen bead assays at allele or antigen levels may be inappropriate. We aimed to introduce eplets for better assessment of sensitization; (2) 900 recipients and 1427 donors were enrolled for candidate or donor pools, respectively. Eplets were from the HLA Epitope Registry. UAs were determined by anti-HLA antibodies identified using LIFECODES Single Antigen (LSA) kits. CPRA values were calculated using a simplified method of donor filtering; (3) HLA antigens containing all eplets of an HLA antigen in LSA kits (LSA antigen) were defined as eplet-predicted (EP) antigens, the reactivity of which could be predicted by that LSA antigen. High reactivity concordance was found between LSA and EP antigens. More HLA antigens were covered by EP antigens in the population than LSA antigens. CPRA values at the EP level were higher than at the allele level and lower than at the antigen level. The EP antigens facilitated UA determination for non-LSA antigens and avoided acute rejection; (4) UA determination using EP antigens can lead to more accurate assessment of sensitization, enabling a high probability of compatible organs and a low risk of adverse outcomes.

Hypothermia Alleviates Reductive Stress, a Root Cause of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710108.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury is common in transplantation. Previous studies have shown that cooling can protect against hypoxic injury. To date, the protective effects of hypothermia have been largely associated with metabolic suppression. Since kidney transplantation is one of the most common organ transplant surgeries, we used human-derived renal proximal tubular cells (HKC8 cell line) as a model of normal renal cells. We performed a temperature titration curve from 37 °C to 22 °C and evaluated cellular respiration and molecular mechanisms that can counteract the build-up of reducing equivalents in hypoxic conditions. We show that the protective effects of hypothermia are likely to stem both from metabolic suppression (inhibitory component) and augmentation of stress tolerance (activating component), with the highest overlap between activating and suppressing mechanisms emerging in the window of mild hypothermia (32 °C). Hypothermia decreased hypoxia-induced rise in the extracellular lactate:pyruvate ratio, increased ATP/ADP ratio and mitochondrial content, normalized lipid content, and improved the recovery of respiration after anoxia. Importantly, it was observed that in contrast to mild hypothermia, moderate and deep hypothermia interfere with HIF1 (hypoxia inducible factor 1)-dependent HRE (hypoxia response element) induction in hypoxia. This work also demonstrates that hypothermia alleviates reductive stress, a conceptually novel and largely overlooked phenomenon at the root of ischemia reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Reducing discard is important for the US transplantation system because nearly 20% of the deceased donor kidneys are discarded. One cause for the discards is the avoidance of protracted cold ischemia times. Extended cold ischemia times at transplant are associated with additional risk of graft failure and patient mortality. A preference for local (within the same donor service area) or low-Kidney Donor Risk Index organs, the endogeneity of cold ischemia time during organ allocation, and the use of provisional offers all complicate the analysis of cold ischemia times' influence on kidney acceptance decision making. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Using January 2018 to June 2019 Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data, we modeled the probability of accepting an offer for a kidney after provisional acceptance. We use logistic regression that includes cold ischemia time, Kidney Donor Risk Index, and other covariates selected from literature. Endogeneity of cold ischemia time was treated by a two-stage instrumental variables approach. RESULTS Logistic regression results for 3.33 million provisional acceptances from 12,369 donors and 108,313 candidates quantify trade-offs between cold ischemia time at the time of offer acceptance and donor-recipient characteristics. Overall, each additional 2 hours of cold ischemia time affected acceptance for nonlocal and local recipients (odds ratio, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.73 to 0.77, odds ratio, 0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.86 to 0.91; P<0.001). For Kidney Donor Risk Index >1.75 (Kidney Donor Profile Index >85) kidneys, an additional 2 hours of cold ischemia time for nonlocal and local recipients was associated with acceptance with odds ratio, 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.54 to 0.63 (nonlocal) and odds ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.6 to 0.7 (local); P<0.001. The effect of an additional 2 hours of cold ischemia time on acceptance of kidneys with Kidney Donor Risk Index ≤1.75 (Kidney Donor Profile Index ≤85) was less pronounced for nonlocal offers (odds ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.80 to 0.85; P<0.001) and not significant for local offers. CONCLUSIONS The acceptability of marginal organs was higher when placements were nearer to the donor and when cold ischemia time was shorter.

Abstract
Despite continuous advances in surgical and immunosuppressive protocols, the long-term survival of transplanted kidneys is still far from being satisfactory. Antibody-mediated rejection, recurrent autoimmune diseases, and death with functioning graft are the most frequent causes of late-kidney allograft failure. However, in addition to these complications, a number of other non-immunologic events may impair the function of transplanted kidneys and directly or indirectly lead to their failure. In this narrative review, we will list and discuss the most important nonimmune causes of late death-censored kidney graft failure, including quality of the donated kidney, adherence to prescriptions, drug toxicities, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, new onset diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and lifestyle of the renal transplant recipient. For each of these risk factors, we will report the etiopathogenesis and the potential consequences on graft function, keeping in mind that in many cases, two or more risk factors may negatively interact together.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important contributor to the development of delayed graft function after transplantation, which is associated with higher rejection rates and poorer long-term outcomes. One of the earliest impairments during ischemia is Na+/K+-ATPase (Na/K pump) dysfunction due to insufficient ATP supply, resulting in subsequent cellular damage. Therefore, strategies that preserve ATP or maintain Na/K pump function may limit the extent of renal injury during ischemia-reperfusion. Here, we applied a synchronization modulation electric field to activate Na/K pumps, thereby maintaining cellular functions under ATP-insufficient conditions. We tested the effectiveness of this technique in two models of ischemic renal injury: an in situ renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model (predominantly warm ischemia) and a kidney transplantation model (predominantly cold ischemia). Application of the synchronization modulation electric field to a renal ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model preserved Na/K pump activity, thereby reducing kidney injury, as reflected by 40% lower plasma creatinine (1.17 ± 0.03 mg/dl) in the electric field-treated group as compared to the untreated control group (1.89 ± 0.06 mg/dl). In a mouse kidney transplantation model, renal graft function was improved by more than 50% with the application of the synchronization modulation electric field according to glomerular filtration rate measurements (85.40 ± 12.18 μl/min in the untreated group versus 142.80 ± 11.65 μl/min in the electric field-treated group). This technique for preserving Na/K pump function may have therapeutic potential not only for ischemic kidney injury but also for other diseases associated with Na/K pump dysfunction due to inadequate ATP supply.

Abstract
Lung transplantation (LTx) has become the gold standard treatment for end-stage respiratory failure. Recently, extended lung donor criteria have been applied to decrease the mortality rate of patients on the waiting list. Moreover, ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been used to improve the number/quality of previously unacceptable lungs. Despite the above-mentioned progress, the morbidity/mortality of LTx remains high compared to other solid organ transplants. Lungs are particularly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury, which can lead to graft dysfunction. Therefore, the success of LTx is related to the quality/function of the graft, and EVLP represents an opportunity to protect/regenerate the lungs before transplantation. Increasing evidence supports the use of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) as a therapeutic strategy to improve EVLP. The therapeutic properties of MSC are partially mediated by secreted factors. Hence, the strategy of lung perfusion with MSCs and/or their products pave the way for a new innovative approach that further increases the potential for the use of EVLP. This article provides an overview of experimental, preclinical and clinical studies supporting the application of MSCs to improve EVLP, the ultimate goal being efficient organ reconditioning in order to expand the donor lung pool and to improve transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Great efforts have been made toward addressing the demand for donor kidneys. One of the most promising approaches is to use kidneys from donation after circulatory death donors. These kidneys, however, suffer from more severe ischemia and reperfusion injury than those obtained via donation after brain death and are thus more prone to develop interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. Even though machine perfusion is increasingly used to reduce ischemia and reperfusion injury, there are no effective treatments available to ameliorate interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, forcing patients to resume dialysis, undergo re-transplantation, or suffer from premature death. Safe and effective anti-fibrotic therapies are therefore greatly desired. We propose a new therapeutic approach in which machine perfusion solutions are supplemented with anti-fibrotic compounds. This allows the use of higher concentrations than those used in humans whilst eliminating side effects in other organs. To the authors' knowledge, no one has reviewed whether such an approach could reduce interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy; we therefore set out to explore its merit. In this review, we first provide background information on ischemia and reperfusion injury as well as interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, after which we describe currently available approaches for preserving donor kidneys. We then present an evaluation of selected compounds. To identify promising compounds, we analyzed publications describing the effects of anti-fibrotic molecules in precision-cut kidneys slices, which are viable explants that can be cultured ex vivo for up to a few days whilst retaining functional and structural features. LY2109761, galunisertib, imatinib, nintedanib, and butaprost were shown to exert anti-fibrotic effects in slices within a relatively short timeframe (<48 h) and are therefore considered to be excellent candidates for follow-up ex vivo machine perfusion studies.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of therapeutics through the use of nanoparticles (NPs) has emerged as a promising method that increases their efficacy and reduces their side effects. NPs can be tailored to localize to selective tissues through conjugation to ligands that bind cell-specific receptors. Although the vast majority of nanodelivery platforms have focused on cancer therapy, efforts have begun to introduce nanotherapeutics to the fields of immunology as well as transplantation. In this review, we provide an overview from a clinician's perspective of current nanotherapeutic strategies to treat solid organ transplants with NPs during the time interval between organ harvest from the donor and placement into the recipient, an innovative technology that can provide major benefits to transplant patients. The use of ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), which is associated with preserving the function of the organ following transplantation, also provides an ideal opportunity for a localized, sustained, and controlled delivery of nanotherapeutics to the organ during this critical time period. Here, we summarize previous endeavors to improve transplantation outcomes by treating the organ with NPs prior to placement in the recipient. Investigations in this burgeoning field of research are promising, but more extensive studies are needed to overcome the physiological challenges to achieving effective nanotherapeutic delivery to transplanted organs discussed in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The fact that metabolism and immune function are regulated by an endogenous molecular clock that generates circadian rhythms suggests that the magnitude of ischemia reperfusion, and subsequent inflammation on kidney transplantation, could be affected by the time of the day. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We evaluated 5026 individuals who received their first kidney transplant from deceased heart-beating donors. In a cause-specific multivariable analysis, we compared delayed graft function and graft survival according to the time of kidney clamping and declamping. Participants were divided into those clamped between midnight and noon (ante meridiem [am] clamping group; 65%) or clamped between noon and midnight (post meridiem [pm] clamping group; 35%), and, similarly, those who underwent am declamping (25%) or pm declamping (75%). RESULTS Delayed graft function occurred among 550 participants (27%) with am clamping and 339 (34%) with pm clamping (adjusted odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.67 to 0.98; P=0.03). No significant association was observed between clamping time and overall death-censored graft survival (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.77 to 1.10; P=0.37). No significant association of declamping time with delayed graft function or graft survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS Clamping between midnight and noon was associated with a lower incidence of delayed graft function, whereas declamping time was not associated with kidney graft outcomes.

The Relationship between Timing of Pretransplant Kidney Biopsy, Graft Loss, and Survival in Kidney Transplantation: An Italian Cohort Study. Nephron Clin Pract 2021; 146:22-31.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney biopsy is performed to assess if an extended criteria graft can be used for transplantation. It may be performed before or after cross-clamping during organ procurement. This study aims to evaluate whether the timing of biopsy may modify cold ischemia times (CIT) and/or graft outcomes. METHODS Kidney transplants performed in our center from January 2007 to December 2017 were analyzed. Grafts with preimplantation kidney biopsy were included. Biopsies were performed during surgical back table (ex situ kidney biopsy [ESKB]) until 2012 and since then before the aortic cross-clamping (in situ kidney biopsy [ISKB]). To overcome biases owing to different distributions, a propensity score model was developed. The study population consists in 322 patients, 115 ESKB, and 207 ISKB. RESULTS CIT was significantly lower for ISKB (730 min ISKB vs. 840 min ESKB, p value = 0.001). In both crude (OR 0.27; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.12-0.60; p value = 0.002) and adjusted analyses (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.14-0.94; p value = 0.039), ISKB was associated with a reduced odd of graft loss when compared to ESKB. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Performing preimplantation kidney biopsy during the recovery, prior to the aortic cross-clamping, may be a strategy to reduce CIT and improve transplant outcomes.

Intraoperative Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring of Renal Allograft Reperfusion in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Feasibility and Proof-of-Concept Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10194292. [PMID: 34640317 PMCID: PMC8509741 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10194292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Conventional renal function markers are unable to measure renal allograft perfusion intraoperatively, leading to delayed recognition of initial allograft function. A handheld near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device that can provide real-time assessment of renal allograft perfusion by quantifying regional tissue oxygen saturation levels (rSO2) was approved by the FDA. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of intraoperative NIRS monitoring of allograft reperfusion in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Intraoperative renal allograft rSO2 and perfusion rates were measured in living (LDRT, n = 3) and deceased donor RTR (DDRT, n = 4) during the first 50 min post-reperfusion and correlated with renal function markers 30 days post-transplantation. Intraoperative renal allograft rSO2 for the DDRT group remained significantly lower than the LDRT group throughout the 50 min. Reperfusion rates were significantly faster in the LDRT group during the first 5 min post-reperfusion but remained stable thereafter in both groups. Intraoperative rSO2 were similar among the upper pole, renal hilum, and lower pole, and strongly correlated with allograft function and hemodynamic parameters up to 14 days post-transplantation. NIRS successfully detected differences in intraoperative renal allograft rSO2, warranting future studies to evaluate it as an objective method to measure ischemic injury and perfusion for the optimization of preservation/reperfusion protocols and early prediction of allograft function.

Abstract
We present an updated overview of the literature comparing normothermic with hypothermic machine perfusion in porcine kidneys. We conducted a systematic literature review in Embase, Medline Epub (Ovid), Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Google Scholar on studies comparing normothermic (NMP) to hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in porcine kidneys. A meta‐analysis was judged inappropriate because of heterogeneity in study design and perfusion methods. The quality of evidence of each included study was assessed. We included 8 studies. One out of 5 studies reported a significant difference in peak renal blood flow in favor of NMP. Oxygen consumption was significantly higher in NMP kidneys in 2 out of 5 studies. Peak creatinine clearance in NMP was significantly higher than that in HMP in 1 out of 6 studies. Two out of 4 studies reported a higher degree of epithelial vacuolation in kidneys receiving NMP over HMP. None of the studies found a significant difference between NMP and HMP in peak serum creatinine or graft survival after autotransplantation. The results need to be interpreted with caution in view of the diversity in perfusion protocols, the low quality of evidence, and the limited sample sizes.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing in most countries and kidney transplantation is the best option for those patients requiring renal replacement therapy. Therefore, there is a significant number of patients living with a functioning kidney allograft. However, progressive kidney allograft functional deterioration remains unchanged despite of major advances in the field. After the first post-transplant year, it has been estimated that this chronic allograft damage may cause a 5% graft loss per year. Most studies focused on mechanisms of kidney graft damage, especially on ischemia-reperfusion injury, alloimmunity, nephrotoxicity, infection and disease recurrence. Thus, therapeutic interventions focus on those modifiable factors associated with chronic kidney allograft disease (CKaD). There are strategies to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, to improve the immunologic risk stratification and monitoring, to reduce calcineurin-inhibitor exposure and to identify recurrence of primary renal disease early. On the other hand, control of risk factors for chronic disease progression are particularly relevant as kidney transplantation is inherently associated with renal mass reduction. However, despite progress in pathophysiology and interventions, clinical advances in terms of long-term kidney allograft survival have been subtle. New approaches are needed and probably a holistic view can help. Chronic kidney allograft deterioration is probably the consequence of damage from various etiologies but can be attenuated by kidney repair mechanisms. Thus, besides immunological and other mechanisms of damage, the intrinsic repair kidney graft capacity should be considered to generate new hypothesis and potential therapeutic targets. In this review, the critical risk factors that define CKaD will be discussed but also how the renal mechanisms of regeneration could contribute to a change chronic kidney allograft disease paradigm.

Abstract
Donor organ shortage still remains a serious obstacle for the access of wait-list patients to kidney transplantation, the best treatment for End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). To expand the number of transplants, the use of lower quality organs from older ECD or DCD donors has become an established routine but at the price of increased incidence of Primary Non-Function, Delay Graft Function and lower-long term graft survival. In the last years, several improvements have been made in the field of renal transplantation from surgical procedure to preservation strategies. To improve renal outcomes, research has focused on development of innovative and dynamic preservation techniques, in order to assess graft function and promote regeneration by pharmacological intervention before transplantation. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of these new preservation strategies by machine perfusions and pharmacological interventions at different timing possibilities: in the organ donor, ex-vivo during perfusion machine reconditioning or after implementation in the recipient. We will report therapies as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, senolytics agents, complement inhibitors, HDL, siRNA and H2S supplementation. Renal delivery of pharmacologic agents during preservation state provides a window of opportunity to treat the organ in an isolated manner and a crucial route of administration. Even if few studies have been reported of transplantation after ex-vivo drugs administration, targeting the biological pathway associated to kidney failure (i.e. oxidative stress, complement system, fibrosis) might be a promising therapeutic strategy to improve the quality of various donor organs and expand organ availability.

Abstract
We describe a case where a patient received a successful dual kidney transplantation in a staggered fashion. Two kidneys from a deceased donor were accepted for 2 separate primary intended recipients, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, both kidneys were eventually transplanted in a staggered fashion into an alternate single recipient. The intention behind this method was to enhance the patient's renal function and to prevent the wastage of a kidney. Despite the significantly prolonged cold ischemia times, the recipient has excellent dual graft function after 3 years. The positive outcome underpins the effectiveness of donor kidneys even with prolonged cold ischemia times outside established best practice guidelines. It also reinforces the effectiveness of dual kidney transplantation. Transplant professionals encounter complex situations occasionally where an established evidence-base or aids to decision-making are limited. This case reflects challenges in decision-making, patient counselling and consent, especially when the opportunity for the staggered dual kidney transplantation, with potential increased morbidity, came about as another recipient declined a usable kidney. It also highlights the widely differing risk appetites of different patients. Crucially, it optimised the donation process and procurement of 2 kidneys while preventing wastage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a staggered dual kidney transplantation in a single recipient.

Abstract
Several factors, such as donor brain death, ischemia-reperfusion injury, rejection, infection, and chronic allograft dysfunction, may induce an inflammatory state in kidney transplantation. Furthermore, inflammatory cells, cytokines, growth factors, complement and coagulation cascade create an unbalanced interaction with innate and adaptive immunity, which are both heavily involved in atherogenesis. The crosstalk between inflammation and thrombosis may lead to a prothrombotic state and impaired fibrinolysis in kidney transplant recipients increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Inflammation is also associated with elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 and low levels of Klotho, which contribute to major adverse cardiovascular events. Hyperuricemia, glucose intolerance, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and physical inactivity may create a condition called metaflammation that concurs in atherogenesis. Another major consequence of the inflammatory state is the development of chronic hypoxia that through the mediation of interleukins 1 and 6, angiotensin II, and transforming growth factor beta can result in excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix, which can disrupt and replace functional parenchyma, leading to interstitial fibrosis and chronic allograft dysfunction. Lifestyle and regular physical activity may reduce inflammation. Several drugs have been proposed to control the graft inflammatory state, including low-dose aspirin, statins, renin-angiotensin inhibitors, xanthine-oxidase inhibitors, vitamin D supplements, and interleukin-6 blockade. However, no prospective controlled trial with these measures has been conducted in kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the golden treatment for end-stage renal disease. Static cold storage is currently considered the standard method of preservation, but dynamic techniques, such as machine perfusion (MP), have been shown to improve graft function, especially in kidneys donated by extended criteria donors and donation after circulatory death. With poor organ quality being a major reason for kidneys not being transplanted, an accurate, objective and reliable quality assessment during preservation could add value and support to clinicians’ decisions. MPs are emerging technologies with the potential to assess kidney graft viability and quality, both in the hypothermic and normothermic scenarios. The aim of this review is to summarize current tools for graft viability assessment using MP prior to implantation in relation to the ischemic damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged cold ischemic time (CIT) in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) has been associated with adverse graft outcomes. Virtual crossmatch (VXM) facilitates reliable prediction of crossmatch results based on the profile of human leukocyte antigen antibodies of the recipient and the donor in reduced time compared with a physical crossmatch (PXM). We hypothesized a shorter CIT since the implementation of the VXM in recipients of DDKT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive adult recipients of DDKT. The data were analyzed for differences in CIT before and after the implementation of VXM. RESULTS After the exclusion of 59 recipients (age less than 18 years and/or CIT ≥ 20 hours), our study compared outcomes of 81 PXMs from February to June 2018 against 68 VXMs from February to June 2019. There were no statistical differences between groups based on donor age (P = .09), donor type (P = .38), kidney donor profile index (P = .43), or delayed graft function (P = .20). Recipients with VXM were older (58 vs 51 years, P = .002) and had a higher estimated post-transplant survival score (59% vs 46%, P = .01). The CIT was significantly lower for the VXM group (P = .04). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated a significantly shorter CIT with VXM in DDKT recipients. Our study was limited with small sample size, but the trend of increased graft survival with higher estimated post-transplant scores and older recipients is encouraging as the donor pool expands with marginal kidneys and national sharing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the influence of the interaction between donor age and cold ischemia time on allograft survival in the absence of delayed graft function, early acute rejection, or the combination of both. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients first transplanted with living-related and deceased-donor allografts between 2001 and 2016. Predictors included cold ischemia time, donor and recipient age and sex, body mass index, renal replacement therapy duration, cause of end-stage renal disease, HLA class I and II mismatches, panel of reactive antibodies score, donor creatinine concentration, development of delayed graft function, and biopsy-proven acute rejection. The response variable was time until return to renal replacement therapy. Patients who died with functioning allografts were censored at the time of death. Analyses included multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS The study included 498 patients followed for median of 4.1 years with median cold ischemia time of 17.0 hours. On multivariate analysis, allograft survival was negatively affected by the cold ischemia time-donor age interaction (P = .026), acute rejection (P = .043), delayed graft function (P = .001), and acute rejection combined with delayed graft function (P = .002). Restricted mean allograft survival times in patients who developed neither delayed graft function nor acute rejection decreased from 13.6 to 8.6 years when cold ischemia time increased from 12 to 36 hours and donor age increased from 30 to 60 years. CONCLUSIONS Allograft survival was negatively affected by donor age-cold ischemia time interaction independently of the development of delayed graft function, acute rejection, or their combination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been previously shown that doxycycline (Doxy) protects the kidney from preservation injury by inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase. However, the precise molecular mechanism involved in this protection from injury is not known. We used a pharmaco-proteomics approach to identify potential molecular targets associated with kidney preservation injury. METHODS Rat kidneys were cold perfused with or without doxycycline (Doxy) for 22 h. Kidneys perfusates were analyzed for the presence of injury markers such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL). Proteins extracted from kidney tissue were analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins of interest were identified by mass spectrometry. RESULTS Triosephosphate isomerase, PGM, dihydropteridine reductase-2, pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase, phosphotriesterase-related protein, and aminoacylase-1A were not affected by cold perfusion. Perfusion with Doxy increased their levels. N(G),N(G)-dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase and phosphoglycerate kinase 1 were decreased after cold perfusion. Perfusion with Doxy led to an increase in their levels. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed specific metabolic enzymes involved in preservation injury and in the mechanism whereby Doxy protects the kidney against injury during cold perfusion.

Abstract
The limiting factor in conventional quality assessments of transplanted organs, namely the invasiveness of tissue sample collection, has prompted much research on the field of transplantology to focus on the development of alternative evaluation methods of organ quality. In the present project, we undertake the challenge to address the need for a new analytical solution for graft quality assessments by using a novel metabolomic diagnostic protocol based on low-invasive solid-phase microextraction. Solid-phase microextraction probes of ca. 0.2 mm coated with 4 mm long mixed-mode extraction phase were inserted into rabbit kidneys immediately following euthanasia and after 2, 4, 6, and 21 h of preservation. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the extracts was performed with the use of a reversed phase column and a Q-Exactive Focus mass spectrometer operated in positive ionization mode. Statistical analysis of significantly changing compounds revealed metabolic profile changes in kidneys induced by ischemia and oxidative stress as a function of the duration of cold storage. The most pronounced alterations were reflected in levels of essential amino acids and purine nucleosides. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed approach may be successfully used to monitor changes in the metabolic profile of organs over time of preservation.

Abstract
Background Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) appears to exert a reconditioning effect on the ischemic damage of kidney grafts. However, some concerns still remain about its real effectiveness when it is delayed after a preliminary period of static cold storage (SCS) or with prolonged overall cold ischemia time (CIT). Material/Methods The effect of HMP on hemodynamic, metabolic, histological and ultrastructural features of grafts was investigated in 21 single-kidney grafts treated with a delayed HMP after SCS and with a total CIT of over 24 h. Results The mean CIT, SCS, and HMP times were 29 h, 12 h, and 18 h, respectively. Longer SCS was associated with higher vascular resistance and lower arterial flow. In the pre- vs. post-HMP comparison, a significant decrease in arterial resistances and increase of flow were recorded. The hemodynamic improvement was independent of HMP duration. The perfused grafts retained some metabolic activity, with a statistically significant decrease of pH, pO2, and glucose levels, and increase of lactates in the perfusion liquid, by the end of HMP. Longer SCS was associated with higher pH and greater pO2 decrease during HMP. Light microscopy and transmission electronic microscopy revealed no significant variations in nuclear, cytoplasmic, or ultrastructural damage. SCS, HMP, and CIT were not identified as risk factor for delayed graft function or rejection. Conclusions A delayed and extended HMP can recover the graft hemodynamic function, maintain some metabolic activity, and stabilize the accumulated ischemic damage due to a preliminary SCS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVE Transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal disease. However, there are complications that require transplantectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate predictive factors for transplantectomy in the first 3 months after renal transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 770 kidney transplants performed between June 2011 and June 2017. Logistic regression was applied to study the relationship between independent variables and the occurrence of transplantectomy. RESULTS Analyzing variables of the recipients, it was verified that age over 65 years; body mass index; dialysis time; history of previous transplant and comorbidities such as obesity, overweight, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, peripheral arterial disease; or history of a thrombotic episode were not predictive factors. It was found that the use of expanded criteria donors, their age, or cause of death were not predictive factors. The use of a right renal graft or grafts with multiple arteries; the duration of surgery; the performance of surgery at dawn; the need for transfusion; the cold ischemia time; and hemodynamic parameters at reperfusion (central venous pressure, systolic or diastolic blood pressure) were not predictive factors. The recipient age at transplantation (p = .014; B=-0.059; Exp(B)=0.943 [0.899-0.988]) and reoperation in the first 10 days after transplantation (p < .001; B= -2.574; Exp(B)=0.076 [0.028-0.210]) were predictive factors. CONCLUSION Reoperation in the first 10 days after transplantation decreased the risk of transplantectomy in the first 3 months. The lower the age of the recipient, the greater the risk of transplantectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal function is a major consideration for orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy. We compared serial changes in renal function and outcomes between patients who underwent OHT and LVAD therapy over 12 months. METHODS Forty-five and 58 consecutive patients who underwent LVAD implantation (all bridge to transplant or candidacy) and OHT from April 2014 to November 2016 were included. Six of these patients were in both LVAD and OHT cohorts. Survival analysis was calculated using Kaplan Meier and log rank methods. Univariate analysis of data was performed using χ2, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Wilcoxon signed rank tests where appropriate. Comparisons of the renal function to baseline were conducted using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Renal function had a biphasic course among the LVAD cohort, increasing at 30 days but reducing at 6 and 12 months. Meanwhile, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was seen to progressively decline among OHT recipients. Altogether, eGFR was significantly higher at 6 and 12 months among the LVAD cohort compared to OHT (68.3 vs 59.4, P = .046; 68.3 vs 50.4, P = .015). Compared to the baseline average, eGFR had risen among the LVAD patients (P = .031) but had decreased among the OHT group (P < .001) at 12 months. No significant difference in survival was seen at 1 year (84.4% vs 81.0%; P = .540) and 2 years (78.3% vs 78.8%, P = .687) between the cohorts. CONCLUSION Despite poorer baseline renal function, LVAD therapy was associated with comparable survival and better renal outcomes compared to OHT at 12 months. Renal impairment may favor the use of LVAD therapy over OHT in the short term.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Logistic organization of the transplantation coordination process aims to synchronize the recovery and recipient team and to reduce to a minimum the graft's cold ischemia time (CIT), which, in turn, is known, to have deleterious effects on the graft and recipient, if prolonged. To determine whether variables influencing the different steps in the coordination process might allow for reducing CIT, this study aimed to analyze these variables. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 61 pediatric liver transplantations from 2006 to 2015 in the Geneva University Hospitals. RESULTS Length of donor hepatectomy was increased for split grafts (P < .0001). Length of recipient hepatectomy was longer in the case of previous surgery (P = .06). The recipient team waiting time for the graft was longer for split grafts (P = .01). The graft waiting time at the recipient site was longer for whole grafts (P = .0005) and increased recipient weight (P = .03). The graft waiting time at the donor site was doubled in the case of recovery of organs after the liver by the same team (P = .007). The graft waiting time at the donor and recipient site not surprisingly increased the CIT (P = .007 and < .0001, respectively). CONCLUSION CIT depends on waiting times during the entire coordination process, which largely depends on the estimation of hepatectomy lengths. A more accurate estimation, considering graft type and recipient's previous surgery and weight, might allow for decreasing CIT and consequently improve outcomes after pediatric liver transplantation.

Abstract
Transplantation of kidneys results in delayed graft function in as many as 40% of cases. During the organ transplantation process, donor kidneys undergo a period of cold ischemic time (CIT), where the organ is preserved with a cold storage solution to maintain tissue viability. Some complications observed after grafting may be due to damage sustained to the kidney during CIT. However, the effects due to this damage are not apparent until well after transplant surgery has concluded. To this end, we have used spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) to measure spatially resolved optical properties of porcine kidneys over the course of 80-h CIT. During this time, we observed an increase in both reduced scattering (μ s& ' ) and absorption (μa) coefficients. The measured scattering b parameter increased until 24 h of CIT, then returned toward baseline during the remaining duration of the imaging sequence. These results show that the optical properties of kidney tissue change with increasing CIT and suggest that continued investigation into the application of SFDI to kidneys under CIT may lead to the development of a noninvasive method for assessing graft viability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES An increasing number of patients on the waitlist for a kidney transplant indicates a need to effectively utilize as many deceased donor kidneys as possible while ensuring acceptable outcomes. Assessing regional and center-level organ utilization with regards to discard can reveal regional variation in suboptimal deceased donor kidney acceptance patterns stemming from perceptions of risk. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We created a weighted donor utilization index from a logistic regression model using high-risk donor characteristics and discard rates from 113,640 deceased donor kidneys procured for transplant from 2010 to 2016, and used it to examine deceased donor kidney utilization in 182 adult transplant centers with >15 annual deceased donor kidney transplants. Linear regression and correlation were used to analyze differences in donor utilization indexes. RESULTS The donor utilization index was found to significantly vary by Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network region (P<0.001), revealing geographic trends in kidney utilization. When investigating reasons for this disparity, there was no significant correlation between center volume and donor utilization index, but the percentage of deceased donor kidneys imported from other regions was significantly associated with donor utilization for all centers (rho=0.39; P<0.001). This correlation was found to be particularly strong for region 4 (rho=0.83; P=0.001) and region 9 (rho=0.82; P=0.001). Additionally, 25th percentile time to transplant was weakly associated with the donor utilization index (R 2=0.15; P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS There is marked center-level variation in the use of deceased donor kidneys with less desirable characteristics both within and between regions. Broader utilization was significantly associated with shorter time to transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the main activities connected with transplantation is the rapid and timely transportation of patients, medical teams, and human organs from donation to transplantation centers under the compliance of national guidelines and principles of quality, performance, and safety. High-speed transportation on a railway network is becoming relevant both in terms of performance and extensiveness of the service. METHODS AND OBJECTIVES Our study explores the feasibility of adopting a high-speed rail network for the transportation of those organs with large cold ischemia time and those less influenced by transportation-related perturbations (ie, temperature, speed, vibrations), assessing savings and relative performance improvement. In this study, only kidneys have been considered; the transplantation database has been integrated with the national high-speed railway network and timetables. A function is implemented that allocates to air transportations those records with 1 of the 2 ends situated on islands, remote regions, and abroad, while rail transportation is preferred where constraints on capacity and compliance with cold ischemia time are met. Road transportation is still feasible for those records involving 2 adjacent regions and for intraregional transportation. RESULTS The opportunity of integrated road-rail transportation in place of air or all-road transportation allows users to lower generalized costs and reduce driven distance for personnel and vehicles allocated to a regional transplantation center's fleet and staff. Savings in fleet and staff usage can serve to improve the performances at the local level. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge and analysis of transportation alternatives for human organs with less stringent safety and preservation criteria allow a more efficient allocation of resources both at the local and national level-without compromising quality and reliability of the system.

Abstract
Ischaemia impairs organ quality during preservation in a time‐dependent manner, due to a lack of oxygen supply. Its impact on pancreas and islet transplantation outcome has been demonstrated by a correlation between cold ischaemia time and poor islet isolation efficiency. Our goal in the present study was to improve pancreas and islet quality using a novel natural oxygen carrier (M101, 2 g/L), which has been proven safe and efficient in other clinical applications, including kidney transplantation, and for several pre‐clinical transplantation models. When M101 was added to the preservation solution of rat pancreas during ischaemia, a decrease in oxidative stress (ROS), necrosis (HMGB1), and cellular stress pathway (p38 MAPK)activity was observed. Freshly isolated islets had improved function when M101 was injected in the pancreas. Additionally, human pancreases exposed to M101 for 3 hours had an increase in complex 1 mitochondrial activity, as well as activation of AKT activity, a cell survival marker. Insulin secretion was also up‐regulated for isolated islets. In summary, these results demonstrate a positive effect of the oxygen carrier M101 on rat and human pancreas during preservation, with an overall improvement in post‐isolation islet quality.

Association Between Duration of Delayed Graft Function, Acute Rejection, and Allograft Outcome After Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation. Transplantation 2019; 103:412-419.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged duration of delayed graft function (DGF) may be associated with adverse allograft outcomes, but the association between threshold duration of DGF, acute rejection and long-term allograft loss remains undefined. We aimed to determine the impact of DGF duration on allograft outcomes and to assess whether this association was mediated by acute rejection. METHODS Using data from the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, Cox proportional modeling was used to determine the association between quartiles of DGF duration, acute rejection at 6 months and death-censored graft loss (DCGL). Mediation analysis was conducted to determine whether acute rejection was a causal intermediate between DGF and DCGL. RESULTS Of 7668 deceased donor kidney transplants between 1997 and 2014, 1497 (19.5%) recipients experienced DGF requiring dialysis. The median (interquartile range) duration of DGF was 7 (9) days, with 25% requiring dialysis for 14 days or longer. Among recipients who had experienced a DGF duration of 1 to 4 days, the adjusted hazard ratio for duration of 5 to 7, 8 to 13, and 14 days or longer were 1.13 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-1.55; P = 0.43), 1.44 (95% CI, 1.08-1.91; P = 0.013), and 1.99 (95% CI, 1.50-2.65; P < 0.001), respectively, for acute rejection; and were 1.10 (95% CI< 0.73-1.67; P = 0.64), 1.45 (95% CI, 1.00-2.11; P = 0.05) and 1.60 (95% CI, 1.10-2.31; P = 0.01), respectively, for DCGL. On average, 8% of the effects between DGF duration and DCGL were explained by acute rejection. CONCLUSIONS There was a direct dose-dependent effect between DGF duration and DCGL, with acute rejection explaining less than 10% of the effects between DGF duration and DCGL. Future research identifying other potential modifiable mediators that lies in the causal pathway between DGF duration and allograft loss is essential.

Abstract
Background Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) leads to kidney injury. Renal I/R frequently occurs in kidney transplantations and acute kidney injuries. Recent studies reported that miR-30 stimulated immune responses and reductions in renal I/R related to anti-inflammation. Our study investigated the effects of miR-30c-5p on renal I/R and the relationship among miR-30c-5p, renal I/R, and macrophages. Material/Methods Sprague Dawley rats received intravenous tail injections of miR-30c-5p agomir. Then a renal I/R model were established by removing the left kidney and clamping the right renal artery. Serum creatinine (Cr) was analyzed using a serum Cr assay kit, and serum neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) was measured using a NGAL ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit. Rat kidney tissues were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. THP-1 cells treated with miR-30c-5p agomir and miR-30c-5p antagomir were measured with quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Protein levels were analyzed by western blot. Results MiR-30c-5p agomir reduced serum Cr, serum NGAL, and renal I/R injury. MiR-30c-5p agomir inhibited the expression of CD86 (M1 macrophage marker), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and promoted the expression of CD206 (M2 macrophage marker), interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-10 in rat kidneys. MiR-30c-5p agomir reduced the expression of CD86 and iNOS, and increased the expression of CD206 and IL-10 in THP-1 cells. Conclusions We preliminarily demonstrated that miR-30c-5p agomir might decrease renal I/R through transformation of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages and resulted in changes in inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pretransplant kidney biopsy from marginal donors is used to guide the decision of whether to accept or discard organs for transplantation; however, there is controversy about this procedure, and the need for a pretransplant biopsy is still a debate. We sought to determine if histologic evaluation before implantation of marginal kidneys would influence the outcome. METHODS A retrospective observational cohort study of marginal donor transplants at Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra was done. From 2009 to 2016, 650 marginal kidney transplants were analyzed. We evaluated long-term graft survival in a cohort of patients who received marginal kidneys. The recipients were divided into 2 groups based on whether a pretransplant donor biopsy was performed. Continuous variables were summarized by mean and standard deviation or median and range, as applicable. Categorical variables were summarized by relative and absolute frequencies. The survival analysis was obtained and plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. RESULTS The median age of recipients and donors were statistically different between both groups (P < .001), with the donors and the recipients being younger in the group without a pretransplant biopsy. The median cold ischemia time was higher in the biopsy group (P = .01). The survival analysis showed that graft survival didn't differ between the groups (P = .2). CONCLUSIONS Selection of kidneys based on histological findings may not influence the graft survival and implies a higher cold ischemia time. More data are necessary to provide insight into which clinical, histologic, and biochemical parameters are necessary for decision making on kidney acceptance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation holds much promise as a treatment of choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. The impact of cold ischemia time (CIT) on acute renal transplant rejection (ARTR) remains to be fully studied in a large cohort of renal transplant patients. METHODS From the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database, we analyzed 63 798 deceased donor renal transplants performed between 2000 and 2010. We assessed the association between CIT and ARTR. We also evaluated the association between recipient age and ARTR. RESULTS Six thousand eight hundred two (11%) patients were clinically diagnosed with ARTR. Longer CIT was associated with an increased risk of ARTR. After multivariable adjustment, compared with recipients with CIT < 12 hours, the relative risk of ARTR was 1.13 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.23) in recipients with CIT ≥ 24 hours. The association of CIT and ARTR was more pronounced in patients undergoing retransplantation: compared with recipients with CIT less than 12 hours, the relative risk of ARTR was 1.66 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-2.73) in recipients with CIT of 24 hours or longer. Additionally, older age was associated with a decreased risk of ARTR. Compared with recipients aged 18 to 29 years, the relative risk of ARTR was 0.50 (95% confidence interval, 0.45-0.57) in recipients 60 years or older. Longer CIT was also associated with increased risk of death-censored graft loss. Compared with recipients with CIT less than 12 hours, the hazard ratio of death-censored graft loss was 1.22 (95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.30) in recipients with CIT of 24 hours or longer. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged CIT is associated with an increased risk of ARTR and death-censored graft loss. Older age was associated with a lower risk of ARTR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After reactivation the BK-polyomavirus (BKPyV) associated nephropathy (PyVAN) is observed in 1-10% of renal transplant recipients, of which up to 80% undergo graft failure. BKPyV reactivation after renal transplantation was associated with donor-derived serotypes against which the recipient has no immunological protection. However, PyVAN risk assessment seroactivity testing is a time-consuming and cost intensive process. OBJECTIVES Since BKPyV serotypes can be attributed to distinct genotypes I to IV, in the present study we retrospectively analyzed whether a simple PCR-based BKPyV genotyping assay might be a fast and inexpensive method to assess the risk for PyVAN and transplant outcome already at early stages of BKPyV reactivation. STUDY DESIGN 56 patients who were renal transplanted and tested positive for BKPyV viremia were included into the study. The BKPyV-VP1-coding sequences were PCR-amplified, sequenced, and subjected to genotyping. For group specific analysis patients were grouped in genotype I (n = 46) and a second group including genotype II and IV (n = 10) and associated with their clinical outcomes. RESULTS The most abundant genotype I was detected in 46 of 56 (82%) patients, however, in the genotype II and IV group PyVAN was twice as frequent as compared to the genotype I group 24 months after transplantation (8 of 10 (80%) vs. 17 of 46 (37%); p = 0.001). Accordingly, graft failure was significantly more frequent in the genotype II and IV group (3 of 10 (30%) vs. 2 of 46 (4%); p = 0.007). CONCLUSION PCR-based BKPyV genotyping might represent a fast and inexpensive method to assess the risk for PyVAN and transplant outcome already at early stages of BKPyV reactivation even if matched samples of the donor are not available.

Abstract
There are many factors involved in the delayed graft function of a renal graft, with prolonged cold ischemia time being one of the most relevant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the time of cold ischemia and the delayed graft function, and acute rejection and graft loss at 1 year of follow-up. A retrospective cohort of 347 renal transplant patients were evaluated during the years 2009-2013. The incidence of delayed graft function was 18.4% (n = 65). The cold ischemia time was an independent risk factor for delayed graft function (odds ratio [OR] 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.16). By grouping the time of cold ischemia by intervals, the risk of delayed graft function was greater in the 12-18 hours group (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.02-4.15) and in the >18 hours group (OR 3.38, 95% CI 1.57-7.27). The risk of acute rejection did not increase with longer cold ischemia (p = 0.69), and cold ischemia time was not a risk factor for renal graft loss at 1-year follow-up (hazard ratio 0.97, 95% CI 0.88-1.06). In conclusion the time of cold ischemia (>12 hours) in renal transplant recipients of optimal deceased donors increases the risk of delayed graft function; however, this does not negatively impact the results in acute rejection or graft loss in the first year of the transplant.

Abstract
The relationship between cold ischaemia time (CIT) and adverse outcome is now acknowledged. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be defined, which slows the development of adapted therapeutics and diagnostics. We explored the impact of CIT in both preclinical and in vitro models of preservation. We determined that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and its stress response (unfolded protein response, UPR) were regulated in close association with CIT; the eIF2α-ATF4 pathway was inhibited early (1-8 h) at the detriment of cell survival, while the ATF6 pathway was activated late (12-24 h) and associated with cell death. The IRE1α-XBP1 branch was activated at reperfusion only if CIT extended beyond 8 h, and had a dual role on cell fate - deleterious through IRE1's RNase activity and beneficial through IRE1α other roles. Finally, the pro-apoptotic factor CHOP was a common target of both ATF6 and IRE1α pathways and was associated with elongated CIT and increased cell death. Microarray analysis of human transplanted kidney confirmed that UPR markers were regulated by CIT and that CHOP was associated with adverse outcome. We show that UPR could be a critical pathway explaining the relationship between CIT and graft outcome, highlighting the potential for UPR-based therapeutics and diagnostics to improve transplantation.
