Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of preoperative CT-based renal volume assessment to predict postoperative renal function in living kidney donors. Specifically, favorable renal function was defined as chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 1 or 2 at 1 year after donation, determined by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured based on inulin clearance (Cin).
Methods
This study included 40 donors who underwent kidney donation at our institution between June 2012 and May 2021. GFR was measured using Cin, and CKD stages were assigned accordingly. Predictive factors for favorable renal function (CKD stage 1 or 2) at 1 year postdonation were analyzed using logistic regression.
Results
The median donor age was 63 years (range: 37-75), and 35.0% were male. Median pre- and postoperative Cin values were 84.9 (range: 59.0-133.4) and 56.7 (range: 34.7-95.0) mL/min, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression revealed age ≤ 55 and residual kidney volume-to-weight ratio (RKV/W) ≥ 2.78 as independent factors predicting favorable renal function. A scoring system based on these factors (0 points for none, 1 point for 1 factor, 2 points for both) demonstrated significantly better postoperative renal function in donors with 1 or more points compared with those with 0 points (median Cin: 63.3 vs 53.7 mL/min, respectively, P = .00074).
Conclusions
Age and RKV/W are factors predicting favorable renal function after kidney donation. A predictive scoring system based on these factors could assist in assessing donor eligibility and guiding clinical decision-making.
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.
