Abstract
Background
Human donor kidneys release (pro)renin, erythropoietin (EPO), active vitamin D, and urodilatin during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). However, whether the endocrine function of donor kidneys is associated with post-transplant kidney function is unclear.
Methods
We studied 28 donor kidneys, including seven from donation after brain death (DBD) donors and 21 from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors. Prior to transplantation, we measured levels of (pro)renin, EPO, 1,25(OH)2D in the perfusate, and urodilatin in urine during NMP. Hormone release rates were compared between kidneys with and without delayed graft function (DGF), and correlations were assessed between hormone release rates and donor characteristics and transplant outcome, including DGF duration, serum creatinine levels at 1-week post-transplant, and estimated glomerular filtration rate at 1-month post-transplant.
Results
DBD kidneys secreted significantly less EPO and more active vitamin D than DCD kidneys. Kidneys with DGF exhibited significantly higher release rates of active vitamin D and lower release rates of urodilatin compared to those without DGF. In addition, EPO release rate was positively correlated with serum creatinine levels at 1-week post-transplant. Finally, urodilatin release rates were negatively correlated with DGF duration and positively correlated with urine output.
Conclusions
Urodilatin release in urine and EPO and active vitamin D release in perfusate during NMP may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting early post-transplant outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
