Yao Z, Kuang M, Li Z. Global trends of delayed graft function in kidney transplantation from 2013 to 2023: a bibliometric analysis. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2316277. [PMID: 38357764 PMCID: PMC10877662 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2316277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) is an early complication after kidney transplantation. The literature on DGF has experienced substantial growth. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis of DGF. This study aimed to analyze the scientific outputs of DGF and explore its hotspots from 2013 to 2023 by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The 2058 pieces of literature collected in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2023 were visually analyzed in terms of the annual number of publications, authors, countries, journals, literature co-citations, and keyword clustering by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. We found that the number of papers published in the past ten years showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing; 2021 was the year with the most posts. The largest number of papers was published by the University of California System, and the largest number of papers was published by the United States. The top five keyword frequency rankings are: 'delayed graft function', 'kidney transplantation', 'renal transplantation', 'survival', and 'recipients'. These emerging trends include 'brain death donors', 'blood absence re-injection injuries', 'tacrolimus', 'older donors and recipients', and 'artificial intelligence and DGF'. In summary, this study reveals the authors and institutions that could be cooperated with and discusses the research hotspots in the past ten years. It provides a reference and direction for future research and application of DGF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid organ transplantation is a cost-effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. Organ donation after brain death is an important source of transplanted organs. Data are limited on the effects of brain injury or donor management on grafts. The consensus view has been that brain death creates a progressively proinflammatory environment. We aimed to investigate time-course changes across a range of cytokines in a donation after brain death cohort of donors who died of intracranial hemorrhage without any other systemic source of inflammation. METHODS A donor cohort was defined using the UK Quality in Organ Donation biobank. Serum levels of proteins involved in proinflammatory and brain injury pathways (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, complement C5a, neuron-specific enolase, and glial fibrillary acidic protein) were measured from admission to organ recovery. Moving median analysis was used to combine donor trajectories and delineate a time-course. RESULTS A cohort of 27 donors with brain death duration between 10 and 30 h was created, with 24 donors contributing to the time-course analysis. We observed no increase in tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interleukin-6 throughout the donor management period. Neuronal injury marker and complement C5a remain high from admission to organ recovery, whereas glial fibrillary acidic protein rises around the confirmation of brain death. CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of a progressive rise of proinflammatory mediators with prolonged duration of brain death, questioning the hypothesis of a progressively proinflammatory environment. Furthermore, the proposed approach allows us to study chronological changes and identify biomarkers or target pathways when logistical or ethical considerations limit sample availability.

Arteriolar hyalinization at 0-hour biopsy predicts long-term graft function in deceased kidney transplantation. Int J Urol 2024; 31:287-294.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Regarding the relationship between donor kidney quality and renal graft function after deceased kidney transplantation (KTx) following donation after cardiac death (DCD), the evaluation timing varies depending on the study. Evaluation of histology and changes in long-term renal graft function is limited. METHODS A retrospective single-center study included 71 recipients who underwent 0-hour biopsy for KTx from DCD. The recipients were divided into two groups to evaluate factors related to renal graft function (study1). The two groups were categorized as stable graft function and poor graft function with the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after KTx. The recipients were then divided into four groups to assess whether the factors identified in study1 were related to the change in long-term renal graft function (study2). They were categorized as follows: Improved, Stable, Deteriorated, and Primary non-function with the change of eGFR after KTx. RESULTS In study1, donor age ≥ 50 years (29.5% vs. 65.2%; p = 0.09), banff arteriolar hyalinosis (ah) score (0.66 ± 0.78 vs. 1.2 ± 1.0; p = 0.018), and presence of glomerulosclerosis (43.2% vs. 76.2%; p = 0.017) were significant risk factors for poor long-term graft function. When the recipients were divided into four groups, the severity of ah correlated well with changes in long-term renal function. CONCLUSIONS We can predict the shift in long-term renal graft function after KTx from DCD according to the severity of ah by 0-hour biopsy.

Donation type and the effect of pre-transplant donor specific antibodies - Data from the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1104371. [PMID: 36875145 PMCID: PMC9974644 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1104371] [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: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction The type of donation may affect how susceptible a donor kidney is to injury from pre-existing alloimmunity. Many centers are, therefore, reluctant to perform donor specific antibody (DSA) positive transplantations in the setting of donation after circulatory death (DCD). There are, however, no large studies comparing the impact of pre-transplant DSA stratified on donation type in a cohort with a complete virtual cross-match and long-term follow-up of transplant outcome. Methods We investigated the effect of pre-transplant DSA on the risk of rejection, graft loss, and the rate of eGFR decline in 1282 donation after brain death (DBD) transplants and compared it to 130 (DCD) and 803 living donor (LD) transplants. Results There was a significant worse outcome associated with pre-transplant DSA in all of the studied donation types. DSA directed against Class II HLA antigens as well as a high cumulative mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the detected DSA showed the strongest association with worse transplant outcome. We could not detect a significant additive negative effect of DSA in DCD transplantations in our cohort. Conversely, DSA positive DCD transplants appeared to have a slightly better outcome, possibly in part due to the lower mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the pre-transplant DSA. Indeed when DCD transplants were compared to DBD transplants with similar MFI (<6.5k), graft survival was not significantly different. Discussion Our results suggest that the negative impact of pre-transplant DSA on graft outcome could be similar between all donation types. This suggests that immunological risk assessment could be performed in a similar way regardless of the type of donor kidney transplantation.
