Abstract
Background
The purpose of this article was to assess the recoverability of bladder, in a subset of patients with uremia, planned for live-donor kidney transplantation.
Methods
Patients referred to the Voiding Dysfunction Unit for evaluation, prior to transplantation, were included in this study during the period 2004 to 2008 in a single institution with a track record in live-donor transplantation. Defunctionalized bladder was defined as patients with complete anuria or oliguria for at least 6 months. All had stage 5 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and were subjected to invasive urodynamics prior and 6 months after live-donor kidney transplantation. Outcome measurement and statistical method: improvement of urodynamic variables after transplantation was the principal outcome measure. Comparisons were made using the one-sample two-tailed t test. One way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous variables and Pearson's Correlation coefficient for studying the correlation between the duration of anuria and different continuous variables.
Results
Thirty-two patients were included in this study. The bladder underwent a significant decline of its capacity with defunctionalization with a mean cystometric capacity at baseline of 253 ± 171 mL that increased to 389 (P = .001), compliance increased from 26 to 33 (P = .001), filling pressure decreased by 12 cm H20 (P = .001) and free maximum flow rate (Q max) increased from 13 to 16 mL/s (P = .007). Detrusor overactivity decreased in prevalence (from 26 to 14 cases) and amplitude (from 21 to 12 cm H20). Our study lacks voiding cystometry variables as well as in having diverse causes for defunctionalization.
Conclusions
After transplantation, urodynamic parameters significantly improved. With caution, these defunctionalized bladders (DBs) could be utilized for live-donor transplants with favorable functional outcome.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
