Yao Z, Kuang M, Li Z. Global trends of delayed graft function in kidney transplantation from 2013 to 2023: a bibliometric analysis. Ren Fail 2024; 46:2316277. [PMID: 38357764 PMCID: PMC10877662 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2316277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) is an early complication after kidney transplantation. The literature on DGF has experienced substantial growth. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis of DGF. This study aimed to analyze the scientific outputs of DGF and explore its hotspots from 2013 to 2023 by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The 2058 pieces of literature collected in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2023 were visually analyzed in terms of the annual number of publications, authors, countries, journals, literature co-citations, and keyword clustering by using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. We found that the number of papers published in the past ten years showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing; 2021 was the year with the most posts. The largest number of papers was published by the University of California System, and the largest number of papers was published by the United States. The top five keyword frequency rankings are: 'delayed graft function', 'kidney transplantation', 'renal transplantation', 'survival', and 'recipients'. These emerging trends include 'brain death donors', 'blood absence re-injection injuries', 'tacrolimus', 'older donors and recipients', and 'artificial intelligence and DGF'. In summary, this study reveals the authors and institutions that could be cooperated with and discusses the research hotspots in the past ten years. It provides a reference and direction for future research and application of DGF.

Abstract
PURPOSE Organ shortage greatly limits treatment of patients with end-stage chronic kidney. Maastricht type 2 donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been shown to have similar results in long term outcomes in kidney transplantation, when compared with brain dead donation. Our main goal was to assess Maastricht type 2 DCD and evaluate factors that impact on early graft function. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in an ECMO Referral Centre. All patients who received a kidney transplant from Maastricht type 2 DCD were included in study. Early graft function and short term outcomes were assessed. RESULTS From October 2017 to December 2022, 47 renal grafts were collected from 24 uDCD donors. Median warm ischemia time was 106 min (94-115), cannulation time was 10 min (8; 20) and duration of extracorporeal reperfusion (ANOR) was 180 min (126-214). Regarding early graft function, 25% had immediate graft function, 63.6% had delayed graft function and 11.4% had primary non-function (PNF). There was a correlation between cannulation time (p = 0.006) and ANOR with PNF (p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Cannulation time and ANOR were the main factors that correlated with PNF. Better understanding of underlying mechanisms should be sought in future studies to reduce the incidence of PNF.

Prophylactic Anticoagulation Reduces the Risk of Kidney Graft Venous Thrombosis in Recipients From Uncontrolled Donation After Circulatory Death Donors With High Renal Resistive Index. Transplant Direct 2024; 10:e1649. [PMID: 38817627 PMCID: PMC11139466 DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000001649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) increases organ availability for kidney transplantation (KT) at the expense of a higher risk of primary graft nonfunction (PNF). At least half of the cases of PNF are secondary to graft venous thrombosis. The potential benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation in this scenario remains unclear. Methods In this single-center retrospective study we compared 2 consecutive cohorts of KT from uDCD with increased (≥0.8) renal resistive index (RRI) in the Doppler ultrasound examination performed within the first 24-72 h after transplantation: 36 patients did not receive anticoagulation ("nonanticoagulation group") and 71 patients underwent prophylactic anticoagulation until normalization of RRI in follow-up Doppler examinations ("anticoagulation group"). Results Anticoagulation was initiated at a median of 2 d (interquartile range, 2-3) after transplantation and maintained for a median of 12 d (interquartile range, 7-18). In 4 patients (5.6%), anticoagulation had to be prematurely stopped because of the development of a hemorrhagic complication. In comparison with the nonanticoagulation group, recipients in the anticoagulation group had a lower 2-wk cumulative incidence of graft venous thrombosis (19.4% versus 0.0%; P < 0.001) and PNF (19.4% versus 2.8%; P = 0.006). The competing risk analysis with nonthrombotic causes of PNF as the competitive event confirmed the higher risk of graft thrombosis in the nonanticoagulation group (P = 0.0001). The anticoagulation group had a higher incidence of macroscopic hematuria (21.1% versus 5.6%; P = 0.049) and blood transfusion requirements (39.4% versus 19.4%; P = 0.050) compared with the nonanticoagulation group. No graft losses or deaths were attributable to complications potentially associated with anticoagulation. Conclusions Early initiation of prophylactic anticoagulation in selected KT recipients from uDCD with an early Doppler ultrasound RRI of ≥0.8 within the first 24-72 h may reduce the incidence of graft venous thrombosis as a cause of PNF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) is a potential additional source of donor kidneys. This study reviewed uDCD kidney transplant outcomes to determine if these are comparable to controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD). METHODS MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched. Data on demographic information and transplant outcomes were extracted from included studies. Meta-analyses were performed, and risk ratios (RR) were estimated to compare transplant outcomes from uDCD to cDCD. RESULTS Nine cohort studies were included, from 2178 uDCD kidney transplants. There was a moderate degree of bias, as 4 studies did not account for potential confounding factors. The median incidence of primary nonfunction in uDCD was 12.3% versus 5.7% for cDCD (RR, 1.85; 95% confidence intervals, 1.06-3.23; P = 0.03, I 2 = 75). The median rate of delayed graft function was 65.1% for uDCD and 52.0% for cDCD. The median 1-y graft survival for uDCD was 82.7% compared with 87.5% for cDCD (RR, 1.43; 95% confidence intervals, 1.02-2.01; P = 0.04; I 2 = 71%). The median 5-y graft survival for uDCD and cDCD was 70% each. Notably, the use of normothermic regional perfusion improved primary nonfunction rates in uDCD grafts. CONCLUSIONS Although uDCD outcomes may be inferior in the short-term, the long-term outcomes are comparable to cDCD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 500.000 people in Europe sustain cardiac arrest (CA) every year, being myocardial infarction the main etiology. Interest has been raised in a new approach to refractory cardiac arrest (rCA) using extra-corporeal oxygenation (ECMO). In settings where it can be rapidly implemented, ECMO assisted resuscitation (ECPR) may be considered. Additionally, donation after circulatory death, which seeks to obtain solid organs donation from patients suffering rCA, has increased its role effectively increasing the pool of donors. Combined programs with integration of ECPR and uncontrolled donation after circulatory determination of death (uDCDD) are worldwide limited and experience integrating these two techniques is lacking. METHODS We report a 24 months experience of ECPR and uDCDD kidney transplantation based on a management protocol in a university teaching hospital in the urban area of Lisbon. RESULTS Over a period of 24 months, 58 patients were admitted to our ICU with rCA, 6 (10%) in the ECPR program and 52 (90%) in the uDCDD. Seventy-eight percent of patients were male, with an average age of 49 year-old. CA was witnessed in 83% of cases and initial rhythm was ventricular fibrillation in 20 cases (35%). 13 (25%) patients were effective organ donors. Refusal for effective donation was mainly due to prior comorbidities. DISCUSSION The development of an integrated program for ECPR and uDCDD is feasible and requires a well-established and efficient activation program. In an era of significant organ shortage, it provides a viable option for increasing the organ donation pool, with promising results.

Abstract
(1) Background: We report on the development of a predictive tool that can estimate kidney transplant survival at time zero. (2) Methods: This was an observational, retrospective study including 5078 transplants. Death-censored graft and patient survivals were calculated. (3) Results: Graft loss was associated with donor age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.021, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.018-1.024, p < 0.001), uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (DCD) (HR 1.576, 95% CI 1.241-2.047, p < 0.001) and controlled DCD (HR 1.567, 95% CI 1.372-1.812, p < 0.001), panel reactive antibody percentage (HR 1.009, 95% CI 1.007-1.011, p < 0.001), and previous transplants (HR 1.494, 95% CI 1.367-1.634, p < 0.001). Patient survival was associated with recipient age (> 60 years, HR 5.507, 95% CI 4.524-6.704, p < 0.001 vs. < 40 years), donor age (HR 1.019, 95% CI 1.016-1.023, p < 0.001), dialysis vintage (HR 1.0000263, 95% CI 1.000225-1.000301, p < 0.01), and male sex (HR 1.229, 95% CI 1.135-1.332, p < 0.001). The C-statistics for graft and patient survival were 0.666 (95% CI: 0.646, 0.686) and 0.726 (95% CI: 0.710-0.742), respectively. (4) Conclusions: We developed a mobile app to estimate survival at time zero, which can guide decisions for organ allocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A shortage of kidney grafts has led to the implementation of various strategies, including donations after circulatory death. The in situ normothermic regional perfusion technique has been introduced to improve graft quality by reducing warm ischemia times. However, there is limited evidence available on its mid- and long-term outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the incidence of delayed graft function, graft function, and survival at three years among three groups: brain death donors, rapid recovery, and normothermic regional perfusion. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a cohort of kidney transplantations was conducted at a single referral center between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Univariate and multivariate regression models and propensity score matching analysis were performed to compare recipient-related, transplantation procedure-related, donor-related, and kidney function variables. RESULTS A total of 327 patients were included, with 256 kidneys from brain death donors, 52 kidneys from rapid recovery, and 19 patients from normothermic regional perfusion. After propensity score matching, univariate and multivariate analyses showed a higher incidence of delayed graft function in the rapid recovery group compared to the others (OR: 2.39 CI95%: 1.19, 4.77) with a longer hospital stay (median 11, 15 and 10 days, respectively). However, no differences in 1- and 3-year graft function and survival were found. CONCLUSIONS Normothermic regional perfusion offers advantages over rapid recovery, with a reduced incidence of delayed graft function and a shorter hospital stay. However, no differences in mid-term graft function and survival were found.

Abstract
Background Organ donors supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have historically been considered high-risk and are judiciously utilized. This study examines transplant outcomes using renal allografts from donors supported on ECMO for nondonation purposes. Methods Retrospective review of the Gift of Life (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware) organ procurement organization database, cross-referenced to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database, assessed kidney transplants using donors supported on venoarterial (VA) and venovenous (VV) ECMO for nondonation purposes. Transplants using VA- and VV-ECMO donors were compared with Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI)-stratified non-ECMO donors. Regression modeling of the entire ECMO and non-ECMO populations assessed ECMO as predictive of graft survival. Additional regression of the ECMO population alone assessed for donor features associated with graft survival. Results Seventy-eight ECMO donors yielded 128 kidney transplants (VA: 80, VV: 48). Comparing outcomes using these donors to kidney transplants using organs from KDPI-stratified non-ECMO donors, VA- and VV-ECMO donor grafts conferred similar rates of delayed graft function and posttransplant renal function to KDPI-matched non-ECMO counterparts. VA-ECMO kidneys demonstrated superior graft survival compared with the lowest-quality (KDPI 86%-100%) non-ECMO kidneys and similar graft survival to KDPI <85% non-ECMO kidneys. VV-ECMO showed inferior graft survival to all but the lowest-quality (KDPI 86%-100%) non-ECMO kidneys. VV-ECMO, but not VA-ECMO, was associated with increased risk of graft loss on multivariable regression (hazard ratios-VA: 1.02, VV: 2.18). Higher KDPI, advanced age, increased body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes were identified as high-risk features of ECMO donors. Conclusions Kidney transplantation using appropriately selected ECMO donors can safely expand the donor pool. Ongoing studies are necessary to determine best practice patterns using kidneys from these donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of kidneys from "expanded criteria" donors after brain death (ECD) and uncontrolled donors after circulatory death (uDCD) has been warranted to increase the pool of donors for kidney transplantation (KT). However, there is lack of evidence on the feasibility and safety of KT from such donors in the Italian setting. METHODS We queried our prospectively KT database to select patients undergoing KT from deceased donors (uDCDs, ECDs, and standard-criteria donors [SCD] after brain death) from January 2017 to December 2020, comparing the perioperative and mid-term functional outcomes. RESULTS Overall, 172 KTs were included. The donor's profile was different among the study groups, while recipients' characteristics were similar expect for median age. Grafts from uDCDs and ECDs had longer median cold ischemia times as compared to grafts from SCDs. The proportion of patients experiencing DGF, the median hospitalization, as well as the overall and major complications rate, were significantly higher among recipients from uDCDs. The proportion of patients needing dialysis at last follow-up was significantly higher among recipients from uDCDs (33.3% vs. 8.5% vs. 5.4%, P<0.001). However, the median eGFR at the last follow-up was lower for recipients from ECDs compared to those from uDCDs and SCDs, respectively (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS While "marginal" donors represent a relevant source of organs, KTs from uDCDs carry higher risks of major surgical complications, DGF, and worse graft survival as compared to KT from both ECDs and SCDs. As such, the use of grafts from uDCDs should be carefully assessed balancing the potential benefits with the risk of primary no function and the subsequent immunological sensitization.

The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult kidney transplant patients: A qualitative systematic review of literature. Artif Organs 2023; 47:24-37.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A paucity of evidence exists regarding the risks and benefits of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in adult kidney transplantation. METHODS This was a systematic review conducted from Jan 1, 2000 to April 24, 2020 of adult kidney transplant recipients (pre- or post- transplant) and donors who underwent veno-arterial or veno-venous ECMO cannulation. Death and graft function were the primary outcomes, with complications as secondary outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-three articles were identified that fit inclusion criteria. 461 donors were placed on ECMO, with an overall recipient 12-month mortality rate of 1.3% and a complication rate of 61.5%, the majority of which was delayed graft function. Fourteen recipients were placed on ECMO intraoperatively or postoperatively, with infection as the most common indication for ECMO. The 90-day mortality rate for recipients on ECMO was 42.9%, with multisystem organ failure and infection as the ubiquitous causes of death. 35.7% of patients experienced rejection within 6 months of decannulation, yet all were successfully treated. CONCLUSIONS ECMO use in adult kidney transplantation is a useful adjunct. Recipient morbidity and mortality from donors placed on ECMO mirrors that of recipients from standard criteria donors. The morbidity and mortality of recipients placed on ECMO are also similar to other patient populations requiring ECMO.

Uncontrolled donation after cardiac death kidney transplantation: Opportunity to expand the donor pool? Am J Surg 2022; 225:1102-1107.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared to controlled donation after cardiac death (cDCD), uncontrolled DCD (uDCD) kidney transplantation remains an underutilized resource in the United States. However, it is unclear whether long-term allograft outcomes following uDCD are inferior to that of cDCD kidney transplantation. METHODS From January 1995 to January 2018, the OPTN/UNOS database was queried to discover all reported cases of uDCD and cDCD kidney transplantation. Primary non-function, delayed graft function, ten-year graft and patient survival were compared among uDCD and cDCD patients. RESULTS Rates of primary non-function (4.0% [uDCD] vs. 1.8% [cDCD], P < 0.001) and delayed graft function (51.1% [uDCD] vs. 41.7% [cDCD], P < 0.001) were higher following uDCD transplant. However, ten-year graft survival (47.5% [uDCD] vs. 48.4% [cDCD], P = 0.21) and patient survival were similar to cDCD transplantation (59.4% [uDCD] vs. 59.2% [cDCD], P = 0.32). CONCLUSION Although initial allograft outcomes are inferior following uDCD, long-term durability of uDCD kidney allografts is on par to cDCD transplantation. Kidney allografts derived by uDCD may be a viable and durable option to increase the donor pool.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose of Review
We explore how to develop Maastricht category I and II donation in the UK. We discuss lessons learned from previous UK pilots and define future steps in the journey to establishing a sustainable uDCD programme in the UK.
Recent Findings
The emergence of normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) as a successful strategy in cDCD donation with excellent clinical results creates the optimal platform for the development of a uDCD programme. Coordinated logistics with ambulance services and ED departments, embedded donor coordination in ED, public acceptance and wider discussion on acceptable peri-mortem interventions are key for future developments.
Summary
A uDCD programme in the UK is feasible. Despite an increase in public awareness and recent changes in legislation, there remain several challenges. Recent advances in perfusion and preservation and an established national retrieval infrastructure, create the premises for future sustainable developments.

Novel Ex-Vivo Thrombolytic Reconditioning of Kidneys Retrieved 4 to 5 Hours After Circulatory Death. Transplantation 2022; 106:1577-1588. [PMID: 34974455 PMCID: PMC9311461 DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000004037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to organ shortage, many patients do not receive donor organs. The present novel thrombolytic technique utilizes organs from donors with uncontrolled donation after circulatory deaths (uDCD), with up to 4-5 h warm ischemia, without advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (aCPR) or extracorporeal circulation (EC) after death. METHODS The study group of pigs (n = 21) underwent simulated circulatory death. After 2 h, an ice slush was inserted into the abdomen. Kidneys were retrieved 4.5 h after death. Lys-plasminogen, antithrombin-III (ATIII), and alteplase (tPA) were injected through the renal arteries on the back table. Subsequent ex vivo perfusion at 15 °C was continued for 3 h, followed by 3 h with red blood cells (RBCs) at 32 °C. Perfusion outcome and histology were compared between uDCD kidneys, receiving no thrombolytic treatment (n = 8), and live donor kidneys (n = 7). The study kidneys were then transplanted into pigs as autologous grafts with a single functioning autologous kidney as the only renal support. uDCD control pigs (n = 8), receiving no ex vivo perfusion, served as controls. RESULTS Vascular resistance decreased to <200 mmHg/mL/min ( P < 0.0023) and arterial flow increased to >100 mL/100 g/min ( P < 0.00019) compared to controls. In total 13/21 study pigs survived for >10 days, while all uDCD control pigs died. Histology was preserved after reconditioning, and the creatinine level after 10 days was next to normal. CONCLUSIONS Kidneys from extended uDCD, not receiving aCPR/EC, can be salvaged using thrombolytic treatment to remove fibrin thrombi while preserving histology and enabling transplantation with a clinically acceptable early function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased number of older recipients underwent liver transplantation in recent years, and consequently needing to obtain more liver grafts. In order to increase this pool, in 2006, we initiated the use of livers from uncontrolled circulatory death (uDCD). We analyzed the use of uDCD livers in sexagenarian recipients and their effect on overall survival. METHODS A retrospective and comparative study was performed among 4 groups according to recipient age (less or greater than 60 years) and donor type (donor brain death [DBD] or uDCD): Group A: DBD livers in recipients aged <60 years (n = 169); Group B: uDCD livers in recipients aged <60 years (n = 36); Group C: DBD livers in recipients aged >60 years (n = 96); and Group D: uDCD livers in recipients aged >60 years(n = 39). RESULTS Intraoperative transfusion, biliary complications, primary non-function, acute rejection, chronic renal dysfunction, retransplantation, and mortality during follow-up (cardiovascular diseases in 3 patients, hepatitis C virus recurrence in 4 patients, and de novo malignancies in 3 patients) were significantly higher, and 5-year patient and graft survival was significantly lower in sexagenarian recipients. Bilirubin and packed red blood cells transfusion were risk factors for patient survival, whereas hepatocelular carcinoma, creatinine, and packed red blood cells transfusion were risk factors for patient survival. Recipient age (<60 years) was confirmed as protective factor for patient and graft survival, whereas the use of uDCD was not a risk factor for patient or graft survival. CONCLUSIONS Use of a uDCD liver did not demonstrate as a risk factor for patient and graft survival, and recipient age (<60 years) was a protective factor for patient and graft survival.

Abstract
With the continuing disparity between organ supply to match the increasing demand for kidney transplants in patients with renal failure, donation after the circulatory determination of death (DCDD) has become an important and increasing global source of kidneys for clinical use. The concern that the outcomes of controlled DCDD donor kidney transplants were inferior to those obtained from donors declared dead by neurologic criteria has largely diminished because large-scale registry and single-center reports consistently have reported favorable outcomes. For uncontrolled DCDD kidney transplants, outcomes are correspondingly acceptable, although there is a greater risk of primary nonfunction. The potential of DCDD remains unrealized in many countries because of the ethical concerns and resource implications in the utilization of these donor kidneys for transplantation. In this review, we discuss the origin and definitions of DCDD donors, and examine the long-term outcomes of transplants from DCDD donor kidneys. We discuss the controversies, challenges, and ethical and legal barriers in the acceptance of DCDD, including the complexities of implementing and sustaining controlled and uncontrolled DCDD donor programs. The lessons learned from global leaders will assist a wider international recognition, acceptance, and development of DCDD transplant programs that will noticeably facilitate and address the global shortages of kidneys for transplantation, and ensure the opportunity for people who had indicated their desires to become organ donors fulfill their final wishes.

Abstract
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) allows the in situ perfusion of organs with oxygenated blood in donation after the circulatory determination of death (DCDD). We aimed at evaluating the impact of NRP on the short-term outcomes of kidney transplants in controlled DCDD (cDCDD). This is a multicenter, nationwide, retrospective study comparing cDCDD kidneys obtained with NRP versus the standard rapid recovery (RR) technique. During 2012-2018, 2302 cDCDD adult kidney transplants were performed in Spain using NRP (n = 865) or RR (n = 1437). The study groups differed in donor and recipient age, warm, and cold ischemic time and use of ex situ machine perfusion. Transplants in the NRP group were more frequently performed in high-volume centers (≥90 transplants/year). Through matching by propensity score, two cohorts with a total of 770 patients were obtained. After the matching, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of primary nonfunction (p = .261) and mortality at 1 year (p = .111). However, the RR of kidneys was associated with a significantly increased odds of delayed graft function (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.43-2.72]; p < .001) and 1-year graft loss (OR 1.77 [95% CI 1.01-3.17]; p = .034). In conclusion, compared with RR, NRP appears to improve the short-term outcomes of cDCDD kidney transplants.

Abstract
The use of cold preservation solutions to rapidly flush and cool the kidney followed by static cold storage in ice has been the standard kidney preservation technique for the last 50 y. Nonetheless, changing donor demographics that include organs from extended criteria donors and donation after circulatory death donors have led to the adoption of more diverse techniques of preservation. Comparison of hypothermic machine perfusion and static cold storage techniques for deceased donor kidneys has long been debated and is still contested by some. The recent modification of hypothermic machine perfusion techniques with the addition of oxygen or perfusion at subnormothermic or near-normothermic temperatures are promising strategies that are emerging in clinical practice. In addition, the use of normothermic regional perfusion to resuscitate abdominal organs of donation after circulatory death donors in situ before cold flushing is also increasingly being utilized. This review provides a synopsis of the different types of preservation techniques including their mechanistic effects and the outcome of their application in clinical practice for different types of donor kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation from uncontrolled donor after circulatory death (uDCD) showed a higher incidence of delayed graft function and primary failure. The aim of this study was to study basal and kinetic evolution of lactate values in uDCD preserved on normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) as a predictive factor of kidney suitability exposed to prolong ischemic conditions. METHODS Descriptive and prospective study of a cohort of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted to the emergency room as potential uDCD. Donors meeting the inclusion criteria were preserved on NRP for at least 2 hours before procurement. Serum lactate levels were determined at arrival as basal level and at 30 minutes intervals and compared with adequate renal perfusion in the operating room (OR). RESULTS Forty-five donors met inclusion criteria. Of these, 38 went to the OR (84.5%). No differences were found in basal lactate between accepted and rejected kidneys (203.08 ± 59.21 vs 175.43 ± 75.32 mg/dL, respectively); neither lactate, hematologic, hepatic transaminases, creatinine, or blood gas analysis sequential values evolved while on NRP. Lactate receiver operating characteristic curve failed to predict viability at different time points and did not correlate with the macroscopic kidney poor perfusion in the OR. CONCLUSIONS The baseline and kinetic evolution of plasma lactate values while on NRP, were not useful tools to predict the final OR kidney viability owing to previous severe ischemic insult.

A systematic review and meta-analyses of regional perfusion in donation after circulatory death solid organ transplantation. Transpl Int 2021; 34:2046-2060.

Abstract
In donation after circulatory death (DCD), (thoraco)abdominal regional perfusion (RP) restores circulation to a region of the body following death declaration. We systematically reviewed outcomes of solid organ transplantation after RP by searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane libraries. Eighty-eight articles reporting on outcomes of liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, and lung transplants or donor/organ utilization were identified. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. Methodological quality was assessed using National Institutes of Health (NIH)-scoring tools. Case reports (13/88), case series (44/88), retrospective cohort studies (35/88), retrospective matched cohort studies (5/88), and case-control studies (2/88) were identified, with overall fair quality. As blood viscosity and rheology change below 20 °C, studies were grouped as hypothermic (HRP, ≤20 °C) or normothermic (NRP, >20 °C) regional perfusion. Data demonstrate that RP is a safe alternative to in situ cold preservation (ISP) in uncontrolled and controlled DCDs. The scarce HRP data are from before 2005. NRP appears to reduce post-transplant complications, especially biliary complications in controlled DCD livers, compared with ISP. Comparisons for kidney and pancreas with ISP are needed but there is no evidence that NRP is detrimental. Additional data on NRP in thoracic organs are needed. Whether RP increases donor or organ utilization needs further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to expand the pool of usable donors from circulatory death (DCD) there is increasing interest in normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) to assess and improve liver viability.1,2 NRP may also improve outcomes in kidney transplantation.We present our single center experience of outcomes in imported kidneys following NRP. METHODS Data was obtained from a prospectively maintained database between December 2012 and September 2018. Primary endpoints were incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS Six-hundred and thirty-two decease donor kidneys were transplanted, 229 from DCD donors, 29 of which had NRP. The DGF rate was lower for NRP versus DCD (six of 29, 20.7% vs. 70 of 200, 35.0%) with reduced duration of DGF. Multivariate analysis demonstrated transplant type to be a statistically significant independent predictor of eGFR at 7 and 14 days. Early transplant function in NRP kidneys was comparable to DBD. There were no graft losses within 30 days in the NRP group. One-year graft loss rate was 3.4% for NRP and 6.0% for standard DCD. CONCLUSION This data suggests NRP is safe, and reduces rates of DGF and improves early renal transplant function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarise recently published studies of donor pretreatment and machine perfusion strategies in kidney transplantation. RECENT FINDINGS The sparsity of donor pretreatment trials has resulted in the re-analysis of already existing data, and RCTs are urgently needed to reinvigorate this aspect of donor research. Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death kidney transplantation has the highest risk of delayed graft function and graft failure, and recent studies have reported that normothermic regional perfusion improves graft function and survival in this setting. Hypothermic machine perfusion reduces delayed graft function following deceased donor kidney transplantation across donor types but unanswered questions still remain regarding its use. The use of oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion appears to improve graft function in controlled donation after circulatory death mediated by a reduction in acute rejection. Ex-situ normothermic perfusion is emerging and while technically challenging it may facilitate the delivery of pretreatments. SUMMARY RCTs are urgently needed to reinvigorate research into donor pretreatment and to establish the place of specific preservation techniques in deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP) for donation after circulatory death is an emerging organ preservation technique that might lead to increased organ utilization per donor by facilitating viability testing, improving transplant outcome by early reversal of ischemia, and decreasing the risk of unintentional surgical damage. The aim of the current review is to evaluate the recent literature on the added value of aNRP when compared to local standard perfusion technique. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline for systematic reviews was used, and relevant literature databases were searched. Primary outcomes were organ utilization rate and patient and graft survival after 1 year. Secondary outcomes included delayed graft function, primary nonfunction, serum creatinine, and biliary complications. RESULTS A total of 24 articles were included in this review. The technique is unanimously reported to be feasible and safe, but the available studies are characterized by considerable heterogeneity and bias. CONCLUSIONS Uniform reported outcome measures are needed to draw more definitive conclusions on transplant outcomes and organ utilization. A randomized controlled trial comparing aNRP with standard procurement technique in donation after circulatory death donors would be needed to show the added value of the procedure and determine its place among modern preservation techniques.

Abstract
Organs from uncontrolled DCD donors (uDCDs) have expanded donation in Europe since the 1980s, but are seldom used in the United States. Cited barriers include lack of knowledge about the potential donor pool, lack of robust outcomes data, lack of standard donor eligibility criteria and preservation methods, and logistical and ethical challenges. To determine whether it would be appropriate to invest in addressing these barriers and building this practice, we sought to enumerate the potential pool of uDCD donors. Using data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, the largest all-payer emergency department (ED) database, between 2013 and 2016, we identified patients who had refractory cardiac arrest in the ED. We excluded patients with contraindications to both deceased donation (including infection, malignancy, cardiopulmonary disease) and uDCD (including hemorrhage, major polytrauma, burns, and poisoning). We identified 9828 (range: 9454-10 202) potential uDCDs/y; average age was 32 years, and all were free of major comorbidity. Of these, 91.1% had traumatic deaths, with major causes including nonhead blunt injuries (43.2%) and head injuries (40.1%). In the current era, uDCD donors represent a significant potential source of unused organs. Efforts to address barriers to uDCD in the United States should be encouraged.

Abstract
Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) refers to donation from persons who die following an unexpected and unsuccessfully resuscitated cardiac arrest. Despite the large potential for uDCD, programs of this kind only exist in a reduced number of countries with a limited activity. Barriers to uDCD are of a logistical and ethical-legal nature, as well as arising from the lack of confidence in the results of transplants from uDCD donors. The procedure needs to be designed to reduce and limit the impact of the prolonged warm ischemia inherent to the uDCD process, and to deal with the ethical issues that this practice poses: termination of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, extension of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation beyond futility for organ preservation, moment to approach families to discuss donation opportunities, criteria for the determination of death, or the use of normothermic regional perfusion for the in situ preservation of organs. Although the incidence of primary nonfunction and delayed graft function is higher with organs obtained from uDCD donors, overall patient and graft survival is acceptable in kidney, liver, and lung transplantation, with a proper selection and management of both donors and recipients. Normothermic regional perfusion has shown to be critical to achieve optimal outcomes in uDCD kidney and liver transplantation. However, the role of ex situ preservation with machine perfusion is still to be elucidated. uDCD is a unique opportunity to improve patient access to transplantation therapies and to offer more patients the chance to donate organs after death, if this is consistent with their wishes and values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND-OBJECTIVES Current evidence based on retrospective and prospective studies demonstrates that donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts are more susceptible to delayed graft function (DGF) than donation after brain death (DBD) grafts. The short- and long-term survival outcomes of the two cohorts are unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the patient and allograft survival outcomes for DCD and DBD in renal transplant surgery. METHODS Systematic literature searches were conducted by searching various databases. Fixed and random effects models were used to assess the accumulation of evidence over time. RESULTS The five-year patient survival rate was significantly better in the DBD than in the DCD cohort. Non-significant differences were observed in 1-, 3- and 10-year patient survival and in the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year graft survival rates between the two cohorts. The acute rejection rate was lower in the DCD cohort than in the DBD cohort. Extended criteria of donor status, delayed graft function and primary non-function were significantly higher in the DCD cohort than in the DBD cohort. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the short- and long-term survival graft and patient benefits are similar between DCD and DBD kidney transplants. Therefore, large, controlled DCD kidney programmes are urgently needed worldwide in order to increase the number of kidney transplants.

Abstract
AIM Uncontrolled donation after cardiac death (uDCD) remains an underutilized source of kidney allografts in the United States. The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of the implementation of a uDCD program on transplantation rates and long-term survival for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. METHODS A decision-analytic Markov state transition model was created using medical decision-making software (DATA 3.5; TreeAge Software, Inc) to estimate the impact of an uDCD program on transplantation rates and patient survival. Additionally, sensitivity analysis of uDCD donor pool increase was modeled. All model statistic parameters were extracted from the literature. RESULTS A uDCD program increased the rate of transplant at 10 years (37.8%, Accept uDCD group, vs 35.9%, Reject uDCD group). At 10 years, overall survival for Accept uDCD was 55.6% compared to 54.8% in the Reject uDCD. CONCLUSIONS Uncontrolled DCD improves access to transplant for ESRD patients on the kidney transplant waitlist, thereby improving long-term survival.

Abstract
Worldwide there is a shortage of available organs for patients requiring transplants. However, some countries such as France, Italy and Spain have had greater success by allowing donations from patients with unexpected and unrecoverable circulatory arrest who arrive in the ED. Significant advances in the surgical approach to organ recovery from donation after circulatory death (DCD) led to the establishment of a pilot programme for uncontrolled DCD in the ED of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. This paper describes the programme and discusses the lessons learnt.

Early Prediction of Graft Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation From Donors After Circulatory Death: Biomarkers and Transplantation Characteristics. Transplant Proc 2019; 51:3234-3243. [PMID: 31732205 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2019.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify transplantation characteristics and biomarkers that predict outcomes for kidney transplant (KT) patients from donors after circulatory death (DCDs). METHODS Consecutive patients receiving a KT from a DCD in our center between 2014 and 2016 were included; the reference population was recipients with a living donor KT. The urinary tubular injury biomarker-to-creatinine ratio and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured at post-transplant days 1 and 3. The primary outcome was the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF). Descriptive and receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed. RESULTS Forty-one patients were included in the analysis: 15 (36.59%) DCD KTs (9 of which suffered from DGF) and 26 (63.41%) living donor KTs. For the primary endpoint, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, urinary tubular injury biomarker-to-creatinine ratio, and LDH areas under the curve were 1 and 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.84-1.0), 1 and 0.92 (95% confidence interval: 0.73-1.0), respectively. Among the transplant characteristics, only the 30-minute resistive index on the perfusion machine was significantly higher in DCD KTs with DGF vs those without DGF (0.26 mm Hg/mL/min [0.20; 0.32] vs 0.14 mm Hg/mL/min [0.12; 0.16], P = .05). Median 3-month creatinine clearance among DGF DCD KTs was 49 mL/min/1.73 m2 [IQR: 42; 65] and 65 mL/min/1.73 m2 [IQR: 62; 66] among DCD KTs without DGF (P = .22). CONCLUSION In the DCD KT population, clinical and biological markers were identified that provided predictive tools for DGF. Thus, systematic measurement of these biomarkers, particularly LDH, could improve the management of kidney graft recipients' immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite its potential to increase the donor pool, uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) is available in a limited number of countries. Ethical concerns may preclude the expansion of this program. This article addresses the ethical concerns that arise in the implementation of uDCD. RECENT FINDINGS The first ethical concern is that associated with the determination of an irreversible cardiac arrest. Professionals must strictly adhere to local protocols and international standards on advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, independent of their participation in an uDCD program. Cardiac compression and mechanical ventilation are extended beyond futility during the transportation of potential uDCD donors to the hospital with the sole purpose of preserving organs. Importantly, potential donors remain monitored while being transferred to the hospital, which allows the identification of any return of spontaneous circulation. Moreover, this procedure allows the determination of death to be undertaken in the hospital by an independent health care provider who reassesses that no other therapeutic interventions are indicated and observes a period of the complete absence of circulation and respiration. Extracorporeal-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation programs can successfully coexist with uDCD programs. The use of normothermic regional perfusion with ECMO devices for the in-situ preservation of organs is considered appropriate in a setting in which the brain is subject to profound and prolonged ischemic damage. Finally, communication with relatives must be transparent and accurate, and the information should be provided respecting the time imposed by the family's needs and emotions. SUMMARY uDCD can help increase the availability of organs for transplantation while giving more patients the opportunity to donate organs after death. The procedures should be designed to confront the ethical challenges that this practice poses and respect the values of all those involved.
