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.

Abstract
Interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and inflammation are major contributors to kidney allograft failure. Here we sought an objective, quantitative pathological assessment of these lesions to improve predictive utility and constructed a deep-learning-based pipeline recognizing normal vs. abnormal kidney tissue compartments and mononuclear leukocyte infiltrates. Periodic acid- Schiff stained slides of transplant biopsies (60 training and 33 testing) were used to quantify pathological lesions specific for interstitium, tubules and mononuclear leukocyte infiltration. The pipeline was applied to the whole slide images from 789 transplant biopsies (478 baseline [pre-implantation] and 311 post-transplant 12-month protocol biopsies) in two independent cohorts (GoCAR: 404 patients, AUSCAD: 212 patients) of transplant recipients to correlate composite lesion features with graft loss. Our model accurately recognized kidney tissue compartments and mononuclear leukocytes. The digital features significantly correlated with revised Banff 2007 scores but were more sensitive to subtle pathological changes below the thresholds in the Banff scores. The Interstitial and Tubular Abnormality Score (ITAS) in baseline samples was highly predictive of one-year graft loss, while a Composite Damage Score in 12-month post-transplant protocol biopsies predicted later graft loss. ITASs and Composite Damage Scores outperformed Banff scores or clinical predictors with superior graft loss prediction accuracy. High/intermediate risk groups stratified by ITASs or Composite Damage Scores also demonstrated significantly higher incidence of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline and subsequent graft damage. Thus, our deep-learning approach accurately detected and quantified pathological lesions from baseline or post-transplant biopsies and demonstrated superior ability for prediction of post-transplant graft loss with potential application as a prevention, risk stratification or monitoring tool.

Preimplantation Histological Score Associates with 6-Month GFR in Recipients of Perfused, Older Kidney Grafts: Results from a Pilot Study. Nephron Clin Pract 2021; 145:137-149.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biopsy-guided selection of older kidneys safely expands the organ pool, and pretransplant perfusion improves the preservation of these fragile organs. Herein, we studied morphofunctional variables associated with graft outcomes in perfused, histologically evaluated older kidneys. METHODS This single-center prospective cohort pilot study evaluated the relationships between preimplantation histologic scores and renal perfusion parameters during hypothermic, pulsatile, machine perfusion (MP) and assessed whether these morphofunctional parameters associated with GFR (iohexol plasma clearance) at 6 months after transplantation in 20 consecutive consenting recipients of a biopsy-guided single or dual kidney transplant from >60-year-old deceased donors. RESULTS The donor and recipient age was 70.4 ± 6.5 and 63.6 ± 7.9 years (p = 0.005), respectively. The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) was 93.3 ± 8.4% (>80% in 19 cases), histologic score 4.4 ± 1.4, and median (IQR) cold ischemia time 19.8 (17.8-22.8 h; >24 h in 5 cases). The 6-month GFR was 41.2 (34.9-55.7) mL/min. Vascular resistances positively correlated with global histologic score (p = 0.018) at MP start and then decreased from 0.88 ± 0.43 to 0.36 ± 0.13 mm Hg/mL/min (p < 0.001) in parallel with a three-fold renal flow increase from 24.0 ± 14.7 to 74.7 ± 31.8 mL/min (p < 0.001). Consistently, vascular resistance reductions positively correlated with global histologic score (p = 0.009, r = -0.429). Unlike KDPI or vascular resistances, histologic score was independently associated with 6-month GFR (beta standardized coefficient: -0.894, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS MP safely improves graft perfusion, particularly in kidneys with severe histologic changes that would not be considered for transplantation because of high KDPI. The preimplantation histologic score associates with the functional recovery of older kidneys even in the context of a standardized program of pulsatile perfusion.

Histopathologic Findings on Implantation Renal Allograft Biopsies Correlate With Kidney Donor Profile Index and 30-Day Serum Creatinine. Transplant Proc 2019; 51:639-646. [PMID: 30979446 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2018.12.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2018] [Accepted: 12/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) provides a numerical estimate of deceased donor kidney quality. The KDPI uses 10 donor factors but it does not consider histopathologic findings. We examined whether the KDPI and its component donor factors correlate with the degree of histopathologic changes seen in implantation renal allograft biopsies. METHODS All deceased donor kidney transplants at our institution from July 1, 2016 to March 15, 2017 that had an implantation biopsy were included. The biopsies were graded based on the Banff criteria for interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, arterial intimal fibrosis, and arteriolar hyalinosis, as well as percent glomerulosclerosis. Linear and logistic regression were used to assess the correlation between histopathologic findings and KDPI and the ability of these variables to predict 30-day serum creatinine (SCr) and delayed graft function (DGF). RESULTS One hundred thirty-four recipients from 107 donors were included. All histopathologic features examined correlated significantly with KDPI, with arteriolar hyalinosis correlating most strongly. Arteriolar hyalinosis was also associated with the most component donor factors of the KDPI. Histopathologic findings alone or in combination with KDPI predicted 30-day SCr but not DGF. Using the KDPI in combination with degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy was the best predictor of 30-day SCr. CONCLUSION Histopathologic changes seen in implantation renal allograft biopsies correlate with KDPI and predict 30-day SCr. Using a combination of donor histopathologic findings and KDPI may be the best predictor of short-term graft function.

A meta-analysis of 23 cohort studies involving 486,608 recipients. BMC Nephrol 2018; 19:116.

Abstract
Background The magnitude effects of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatching on post-transplant outcomes of kidney transplantation remain controversial. We aim to quantitatively assess the associations of HLA mismatching with graft survival and mortality in adult kidney transplantation. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library from their inception to December, 2016. Priori clinical outcomes were overall graft failure, death-censored graft failure and all-cause mortality. Results A total of 23 cohort studies covering 486,608 recipients were selected. HLA per mismatch was significant associated with increased risks of overall graft failure (hazard ratio (HR), 1.06; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05–1.07), death-censored graft failure (HR: 1.09; 95% CI 1.06–1.12) and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02–1.07). Besides, HLA-DR mismatches were significant associated with worse overall graft survival (HR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05–1.21). For HLA-A locus, the association was insignificant (HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.98–1.14). We observed no significant association between HLA-B locus and overall graft failure (HR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.90–1.15). In subgroup analyses, we found recipient sample size and ethnicity maybe the potential sources of heterogeneity. Conclusions HLA mismatching was still a critical prognostic factor that affects graft and recipient survival. HLA-DR mismatching has a substantial impact on recipient’s graft survival. HLA-A mismatching has minor but insignificant impact on graft survival outcomes.

Abstract
Renal allograft loss is most often a chronic process, irrespective of the mechanism at stake. In this prospective study, we studied the expression of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers vimentin and β-catenin by immunohistochemistry in the surveillance biopsy and measured the mRNA encoding vimentin (VIM), CD45, GAPDH and uroplakin 1a (UPK) by quantitative PCR in urinary cells in 75 renal transplant patients. The aim is to establish a simple screening test for chronic renal allograft dysfunction. We found that the value of the mRNA of vimentin and CD45 relative to the uroplakin 1a (UPK) mRNA is correlated with the score in vimentin immunostaining in routine biopsies. These biomarkers could be used as a noninvasive tool to monitor the renal graft fibrogenesis. This test could be used for early detection of fibrotic diseases of the kidney transplant.

Abstract
Despite a growing organ shortage in the United States, many deceased donor kidneys removed for transplantation are discarded. Kidney biopsy findings often play a role in these discards, although it is not clear whether biopsies reliably inform acceptance decisions. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review of the medical literature on the utility of both procurement and implantation biopsies for predicting posttransplant outcomes. Between January 1, 1994 and July 1, 2014, 47 studies were published in the English language literature that examined the association between pretransplant donor biopsy findings from 50 or more donors (with more than half being from deceased donors) and either posttransplant graft failure, delayed graft function, or graft function. In general, study quality was poor. All were retrospective or did not indicate if they were prospective. Results were heterogeneous, with authors as often as not concluding that biopsy results did not predict posttransplant outcomes. The percent glomerular sclerosis was most often examined, and failed to predict graft failure in 7 of 14 studies. Of 15 semiquantitative scoring systems proposed, none consistently predicted posttransplant outcomes across studies. Routine use of biopsies to help determine whether or not to transplant a kidney should be reexamined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is a shortage of kidneys for transplant, and many patients on the deceased donor kidney transplant waiting list would likely benefit from kidneys that are currently being discarded. In the United States, the most common reason given for discarding kidneys retrieved for transplant is procurement biopsy results. This study aimed to compare biopsy results from discarded kidneys with discard attributed to biopsy findings, with biopsy results from comparable kidneys that were successfully transplanted. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In this retrospective, observational, case-control study, biopsy reports were examined from 83 kidneys discarded in 2010 due to biopsy findings (cases), 83 contralateral transplanted kidneys from the same donor (contralateral controls), and 83 deceased donors randomly matched to cases by donor risk profile (randomly matched controls). A second procurement biopsy was obtained in 64 of 332 kidneys (19.3%). RESULTS The quality of biopsy reports was low, with amounts of tubular atrophy, interstitial inflammation, arteriolar hyalinosis, and acute tubular necrosis often not indicated; 69% were wedge biopsies and 94% used frozen tissue. The correlation between first and second procurement biopsies was poor; only 25% of the variability (R(2)) in glomerulosclerosis was explained by biopsies being from the same kidney. The percentages of glomerulosclerosis overlapped substantially between cases, contralateral controls, and randomly matched controls: 17.1%±15.3%, 9.0%±6.6%, and 5.0%±5.9%, respectively. Of all biopsy findings, only glomerulosclerosis>20% was independently correlated with discard (cases versus contralateral controls; odds ratio, 15.09; 95% confidence interval, 2.47 to 92.41; P=0.003), suggesting that only this biopsy result was used in acceptance decisions. One-year graft survival was 79.5% and 90.7% in contralateral and randomly matched controls, respectively, versus 91.6% among all deceased donor transplants in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. CONCLUSIONS Routine use of biopsies could lead to unnecessary kidney discards.

Abstract
The effect of baseline histology and individual histologic lesions at the time of transplantation on long-term graft survival has been evaluated using different scoring systems, but the predictive capacity of these systems has not been adequately validated. All kidney recipients transplanted in a single institution between 1991 and 2009 who underwent a baseline kidney allograft biopsy at transplantation were included in this prospective study (N=548). All baseline biopsies were rescored according to the updated Banff classification, and the relationship between the individual histologic lesions and donor demographics was assessed using hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis. Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards analysis and log-rank testing. Mean follow-up time was 6.7 years after transplantation. Interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and glomerulosclerosis associated significantly with death-censored graft survival, whereas arteriolar hyalinosis and vascular intimal thickening did not. Notably, donor age correlated significantly with interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and glomerulosclerosis and associated independently with graft survival. On the basis of these findings, a novel scoring system for prediction of 5-year graft survival was constructed by logistic regression analysis. Although the predictive performance of previously published histologic scoring systems was insufficient to guide kidney allocation in our cohort (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve ≤0.62 for each system), the new system based on histologic data and donor age was satisfactory for prediction of allograft loss (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve = 0.81) and may be valuable in the assessment of kidney quality before transplantation.

Abstract
Many factors, such as donor risk factors and renal function, have been shown to be associated with an increased likelihood of discard after recovering kidneys from deceased donors. When these factors are insufficient for assessment, renal biopsy is often performed at the time of harvest to assess suitability. Our aims were to identify factors that predict the discard of a biopsied kidney and to assess the impact of machine perfusion (MP) on kidney discard. We biopsied 678 kidneys from deceased donors aged >or=40 years from 2001 to 2006. We used a logistic regression model to estimate the adjusted odds ratios for kidney discard. Thirty-nine percent (n = 261) of biopsied kidneys were discarded. Kidneys with glomerulosclerosis (GS) > 20% had the highest likelihood of discard. Other significant predictors of discard included extreme donor age, final resistance (>40), atherosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, arteriolosclerosis, and terminal serum creatinine value (SCr) > 1.5 mg/dL. MP kidneys (n = 69) were less likely to be discarded than cold storage (CS) kidneys after adjusting for other factors (adjusted odds ratio = .13, P < .001). In conclusion, abnormal biopsy findings were associated with the highest likelihood of discard. MP was used in only 10% of the cases; however, the use of MP was associated with a decreased likelihood of discard among biopsied kidneys.

Abstract
Although chronological donor age is the most potent predictor of long-term outcome after renal transplantation, it does not incorporate individual differences of the aging-process itself. We therefore hypothesized that an estimate of biological organ age as derived from markers of cellular senescence in zero hour biopsies would be of higher predictive value. Telomere length and mRNA expression levels of the cell cycle inhibitors CDKN2A (p16INK4a) and CDKN1A (p21WAF1) were assessed in pre-implantation biopsies of 54 patients and the association of these and various other clinical parameters with serum creatinine after 1 year was determined. In a linear regression analysis, CDKN2A turned out to be the best single predictor followed by donor age and telomere length. A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the combination of CDKN2A values and donor age yielded even higher predictive values for serum creatinine 1 year after transplantation. We conclude that the molecular aging marker CDKN2A in combination with chronological donor age predict renal allograft function after 1 year significantly better than chronological donor age alone.
