N-Acetylcysteine and Liver Transplant. Advantages of its Administration in Multi-Organ Donors Especially During World-Economical-Crisis. Long-Term Sub-Group Analysis in a Randomized Study
Background
Liver transplantation (LT) is the main indication for the treatment of end-stage liver disease but have to face organ shortages. Using marginal donors is an option to increase the donor pool. Previous studies showed that the graft procured using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) provides a longer survival compared to perfusion with standard solutions, especially in marginal liver donors. We now evaluate the effect of NAC perfusion compared to control (no NAC protocol) at a 5-year follow-up, with a special focus on the overall survival (OS) and graft survival.
Methods
Single-center, retrospective review of the OS and graft survival among NAC and control group, with a sub-stratification based on the LT indication.
Results
140 donors were enrolled: 69 in the NAC protocol and 71 in the control group. The 5-year OS was 84% in the NAC protocol compared to 63% in the control (P = .0045). In LT for HCC, the OS at 5 years was 80% and 55% in the study group and control group, respectively (P = .04), with no statistical difference in the RFS (P = .46). Furthermore, in cost analysis, the resources needed for the NAC protocol is negligible compared to the control group. Beneficial tendency of NAC protocol application has been seen in the other organs (lungs, hearts, pancreas, kidney and intestine)
Conclusion
The application of NAC infusion in liver donors improves the overall survival of the recipient, especially in the HCC and HCV LT indications.
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.
