Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the leading cause of early morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Accurate prediction of PGD risk could inform donor approaches and perioperative care planning. We sought to develop a clinically useful, generalizable PGD prediction model to aid in transplant decision-making. METHODS We derived a predictive model in a prospective cohort study of subjects from 2012 to 2018, followed by a single-center external validation. We used regularized (lasso) logistic regression to evaluate the predictive ability of clinically available PGD predictors and developed a user interface for clinical application. Using decision curve analysis, we quantified the net benefit of the model across a range of PGD risk thresholds and assessed model calibration and discrimination. RESULTS The PGD predictive model included distance from donor hospital to recipient transplant center, recipient age, predicted total lung capacity, lung allocation score (LAS), body mass index, pulmonary artery mean pressure, sex, and indication for transplant; donor age, sex, mechanism of death, and donor smoking status; and interaction terms for LAS and donor distance. The interface allows for real-time assessment of PGD risk for any donor/recipient combination. The model offers decision-making net benefit in the PGD risk range of 10% to 75% in the derivation centers and 2% to 10% in the validation cohort, a range incorporating the incidence in that cohort. CONCLUSION We developed a clinically useful PGD predictive algorithm across a range of PGD risk thresholds to support transplant decision-making, posttransplant care, and enrich samples for PGD treatment trials.

Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is common and associated with worse graft outcomes. However, little is known about factors affecting graft survival post-DGF. We studied the association of cold ischemia time (CIT) and Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) with the long-term outcomes of deceased brain-dead donor kidneys with and without DGF. Data from Finland (n = 2,637) and from the US Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) registry (n = 61,405) was used. The association of KDPI and CIT with the graft survival of kidneys with or without DGF was studied using multivariable models. 849 (32%) kidneys had DGF in the Finnish cohort. DGF and KDPI were independent risk factors for graft loss, [HR 1.32 (95% CI 1.14-1.53), p < 0.001, and HR 1.01 per one point (95% CI 1.01-1.01), p < 0.001, respectively], but CIT was not, [HR 1.00 per CIT hour (95% CI 0.99-1.02), p = 0.84]. The association of DGF remained similar regardless of CIT and KDPI. The US cohort had similar results, but the association of DGF was stronger with higher KDPI. In conclusion, DGF and KDPI, but not CIT, are independently associated with graft survival. The association of DGF with worse graft survival is consistent across different CITs but stronger among marginal donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND to analyse the effect of haematological indices on the occurrence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in patients undergoing kidney transplantation and on the function of the transplanted kidney on the 7th postoperative day. METHODS 365 recipients who underwent kidney transplantation from a donor with known brain death between 2010 and 2017 were included in this retrospective study. Information from patient medical records, donor medical records, and donation and transplantation protocols was used for analysis. Statistica 13 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS In the study group, DGF occurred in 144 recipients (39.45%), and Non-Graft Function (NGF) occurred in 12 recipients (3.29%). Recipients who developed DGF had a significantly higher Neutrophil/Monocyte Ratio (NMR) before renal transplantation (p = 0.048), a lower NMR value on postoperative day 1 (p < 0.001), and a difference between the values on day 1 and before surgery (p < 0.001). In addition, they had a significantly lower Lymphocyte/Monocyte Ratio (LMR) on postoperative day 1 LMR 1 (p < 0.001). It was shown that the value of the indices based on the ROC curve-NMR1 > 29.29, NMR1-0 > 22.71, and LMR1 > 1.74 (respectively: AUC = 0.624; 95% CI 0.566-0.682; and p < 0.001/AUC = 0.622; 95% CI 0.563-0.680; and p < 0.001/AUC = 0.610; 95% CI 0.550-0.670; and p < 0.001)-can be used to identify recipients with a significant probability of DGF. CONCLUSIONS the NMR and LMR parameters on the first postoperative day and the difference between the NMR values on the first post-transplant day and the first pre-transplant day are predictive factors associated with the risk of DGF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are several articles exploring the risk factors for primary delayed graft function (DGF). However, current literature does not include many resources on the risk factors for DGF when it is a recipient's second kidney transplant or look at short-term graft and patient survival of DGF retransplants. METHODS United Network for Organ Sharing data from January 2008 to June 2021 were analyzed. Pancreas transplants, multi-organ transplants, and lost to follow-up transplants were excluded. Second transplant patients with DGF were identified. Multivariate logistic regression models based on the primary and second transplant characteristics were created. Survival analysis was performed with Kaplan-Meier methodology and assessed with log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 2964 second kidney transplants were identified. Rate of DGF in the second transplant was 28.4% (843/2964) and 49.2% of them had a prior DGF in their first transplant (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that occurrence of DGF (odds ratio [OR] 1.5, P < 0.001) and graft loss due to acute rejection (OR 1.2, P < 0.005) in the primary transplant were predictors of reappearing DGF in the second transplant. Dialysis at transplant was the greatest risk factor from the second transplant (OR 3.539, P < 0.001). There was a decreased graft survival after 12 mo (77% versus 49% with log t-test <0.001) in the second transplant. However, DGF was not significantly associated with patient survival. CONCLUSIONS This study shows the interaction between primary and second transplant in developing DGF. Survival analysis shows lower graft survival for retransplants in the case of DGF. This study opens the possibility of identifying additional risk factors for patients undergoing retransplant surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND De novo donor-specific antibody (dnDSA) generation and acute rejection (AR) are the main factors affecting long-term graft survival. This study aims to investigate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) eplet mismatching (MM), delayed graft function (DGF), and tacrolimus (TAC) trough levels on the occurrence of dnDSA and AR in the early stages after kidney transplantation (KT). METHODS This retrospective study included 526 cases of deceased donation KT. The effects of DGF, HLA eplet MM, and TAC trough levels on dnDSA and AR occurrence were analyzed with logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the independent risk factor of dnDSA generation was HLA B eplet MM (OR: 1.201, 95% CI: 1.007-1.431, P = 0.041). The independent risk factors of AR occurrence include DGF (OR: 4.045, 95% CI: 1.047-15.626, P = 0.043), HLA B eplet MM (OR: 1.090, 95% CI: 1.000-1.187, P = 0.050), and TAC trough levels at 12 months (OR: 0.750, 95% CI: 565-0.997, P = 0.048). HLA B eplet MM combined with DGF and TAC trough levels at 12 months increased the predictive value of dnDSA (AUC 0.735) and AR (AUC 0.730) occurrence. HLA B eplet MM > 9 and TAC trough levels below 5.95 ng/mL at 12 months could increase the risk of early AR occurrence. CONCLUSIONS HLA B eplet MM, DGF, and TAC trough levels at 12 months after KT could affect the occurrence of dnDSA and AR in the early stage of KT.

Abstract
The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been increasing worldwide. Its treatment involves renal replacement therapy, either by dialyses or renal transplantation from a living or deceased donor. Although the initial mortality rates for patients on dialysis are comparable with kidney transplant recipients, the quality of life and long-term prognosis are greatly improved in transplanted patients. However, there is a large gap between availability and need for donor kidneys. This has led to the increase in the use of expanded kidney donor criteria. Allograft dysfunction immediately after transplant sets it up for many complications, such as acute rejection and shorter allograft survival. Delayed graft function (DGF) is one of the immediate posttransplant insults to the kidney allograft, which is increasing in prevalence due to efforts to maximize the available donor pool for kidneys and use of expanded kidney donor criteria. In this review, we discuss the risk factors for DGF, its implications for long-term allograft survival, animal models of DGF, and the therapeutic options currently under evaluation for prevention and management of DGF.

Abstract
Background Proper assessment of donor organ quality is crucial for optimal kidney allocation and best long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) and histological parameters in early post-transplant graft biopsy in a Polish cohort of kidney transplant recipients. Methods In 418 consecutive kidney transplant recipients, a histological evaluation of very early [at median 11 (9-13) post-transplant day] protocol core needle biopsy was performed and analyzed according to the Banff classification. Subjects were divided into quartiles of the KDRI value. Kidney graft function, patient and graft survival were also analyzed over a median follow-up period of 44 (26-56) months. Results There was a significant trend toward greater intensity of chronic histology changes along the KDRI quartiles (χ2 = 20.8; P < .001), including interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, mesangial matrix increase and arteriolar hyalinosis. Stepwise multivariate regression analysis revealed that only higher KDRI value independently increased the severity of chronic graft injury (rpartial = 0.340, P < .001). KDRI values were valuable in the determination of both early and long-term graft function. Conclusion The KDRI values correlate with chronic histological changes found in early post-implantation kidney biopsies and can also be helpful in the prediction of graft outcome.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging modality that can be used to image microstructures of human kidneys. These images can be analyzed to evaluate the viability of the organ for transplantation. However, current OCT devices suffer from insufficient field-of-view, leading to biased examination outcomes when only small portions of the kidney can be assessed. Here we present a robotic OCT system where an OCT probe is integrated with a robotic manipulator, enabling wider area spatially-resolved imaging. With the proposed system, it becomes possible to comprehensively scan the kidney surface and provide large area parameterization of the microstructures. We verified the probe tracking accuracy with a phantom as 0.0762±0.0727 mm and demonstrated its clinical feasibility by scanning ex vivo kidneys. The parametric map exhibits fine vasculatures beneath the kidney surface. Quantitative analysis on the proximal convoluted tubule from the ex vivo human kidney yields highly clinical-relevant information.

Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) is one of the key post-operative challenges for a subset of kidney transplantation (KTx) patients. Graft survival is significantly lower in recipients who have experienced DGF than in those who have not. Assessing the risk of chronic graft injury, predicting graft rejection, providing personalized treatment, and improving graft survival are major strategies for predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM) to promote the development of transplant medicine. However, since PPPM aims to accurately identify disease by integrating multiple omics, current methods to predict DGF and graft survival can still be improved. Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a pathological process experienced by all KTx recipients that can result in varying occurrences of DGF, chronic rejection, and allograft failure depending on its severity. During this process, a necroinflammation-mediated necroptosis-dependent secondary wave of cell death significantly contributes to post-IRI tubular cell loss. In this article, we obtained the expression matrices and corresponding clinical data from the GEO database. Subsequently, nine differentially expressed necroinflammation-associated necroptosis-related genes (NiNRGs) were identified by correlation and differential expression analysis. The subtyping of post-KTx IRI samples relied on consensus clustering; the grouping of prognostic risks and the construction of predictive models for DGF (the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the internal validation set and the external validation set were 0.730 and 0.773, respectively) and expected graft survival after a biopsy (the internal validation set's 1-year AUC: 0.770; 2-year AUC: 0.702; and 3-year AUC: 0.735) were based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression algorithms. The results of the immune infiltration analysis showed a higher infiltration abundance of myeloid immune cells, especially neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, in the cluster A subtype and prognostic high-risk groups. Therefore, in the framework of PPPM, this work provides a comprehensive exploration of the early expression landscape, related pathways, immune features, and prognostic impact of NiNRGs in post-KTx patients and assesses their capabilities as.predictors of post-KTx DGF and graft loss,targets of the vicious loop between regulated tubular cell necrosis and necroinflammation for targeted secondary and tertiary prevention, andreferences for personalized immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric recipients of living donor kidneys have a low rate of delayed graft function (DGF). We examined the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of DGF in pediatric patients who received a living donor allograft. METHODS The STARfile was queried to examine all pediatric patients transplanted with a living donor kidney between 2000 and 2020. Donor and recipient demographic data were examined, as were survival and outcomes. Recipients were stratified into DGF and no DGF groups. DGF was defined as the need for dialysis within the first week after transplant. RESULTS 6480 pediatric patients received a living donor (LD) kidney transplant during the study period. 269 (4.2%) developed DGF post-transplant. Donors were similar in age, creatinine, and cold ischemia time. Recipients of kidneys with DGF were similar in age, sensitization status and HLA mismatch. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was the most common diagnosis in recipients with DGF, and allograft thrombosis was the most common cause of graft loss in this group. Small recipients (weight < 15 kg) were found to have a significantly higher rate of DGF. Length of stay doubled in recipients with DGF, and rejection rates were higher post-transplant. Recipients of LD kidneys who developed DGF had significantly worse 1 year allograft survival (67% vs. 98%, p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric living donor kidney transplant recipients who experience DGF have significantly poorer allograft survival. Optimizing the donor and recipient matching to avoid compounding risks may allow for better outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Delayed graft function is a common early posttransplant event predictive of adverse outcomes including hospital readmission, impaired long-term graft function, and decreased graft and patient survival. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent literature describing delayed graft function in hopes of better understanding and managing this condition. RECENT FINDINGS Recent research efforts have been garnered towards risk factor modification, prevention, and earlier detection of delayed graft function. In this review, we aim to summarize current innovative approaches and future directions. SUMMARY Delayed graft function portends worse graft and patient outcomes. Continued research to prevent, and detect early perturbations in allograft function, and more optimally manage this disease will hopefully improve graft function, along with graft/patient survival.

Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a frequent complication of kidney transplantation, but its impact on long- and short-term transplant outcomes is unclear. We conducted a systematic literature search for studies published from 2007 to 2020 investigating the association between DGF and posttransplant outcomes. Forest plots stratified between center studies and registry studies were created with pooled odds ratios. Posttransplant outcomes including graft failure, acute rejection, patient mortality, and kidney function were analyzed. Of the 3422 articles reviewed, 38 papers were included in this meta-analysis. In single-center studies, patients who experienced DGF had increased graft failure (odds ratio [OR] 3.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.85-6.17; P < 0.01), acute allograft rejection (OR 1.84; 95% CI, 1.30-2.61; P < 0.01), and mortality (OR 2.32; 95% CI, 1.53-3.50; P < 0.01) at 1-y posttransplant. Registry studies showed increased graft failure (OR 3.66; 95% CI, 3.04-4.40; P < 0.01) and acute rejection (OR 3.24; 95% CI, 1.88-5.59; P < 0.01) but not mortality (OR 2.27; 95% CI, 0.97-5.34; P = 0.06) at 1-y posttransplant. DGF was associated with increased odds of graft failure, acute rejection, and mortality. These results in this meta-analysis could help inform the selection process, treatment, and monitoring of transplanted kidneys at high risk of DGF.

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.

Abstract
Introduction The type of donation may affect how susceptible a donor kidney is to injury from pre-existing alloimmunity. Many centers are, therefore, reluctant to perform donor specific antibody (DSA) positive transplantations in the setting of donation after circulatory death (DCD). There are, however, no large studies comparing the impact of pre-transplant DSA stratified on donation type in a cohort with a complete virtual cross-match and long-term follow-up of transplant outcome. Methods We investigated the effect of pre-transplant DSA on the risk of rejection, graft loss, and the rate of eGFR decline in 1282 donation after brain death (DBD) transplants and compared it to 130 (DCD) and 803 living donor (LD) transplants. Results There was a significant worse outcome associated with pre-transplant DSA in all of the studied donation types. DSA directed against Class II HLA antigens as well as a high cumulative mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the detected DSA showed the strongest association with worse transplant outcome. We could not detect a significant additive negative effect of DSA in DCD transplantations in our cohort. Conversely, DSA positive DCD transplants appeared to have a slightly better outcome, possibly in part due to the lower mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of the pre-transplant DSA. Indeed when DCD transplants were compared to DBD transplants with similar MFI (<6.5k), graft survival was not significantly different. Discussion Our results suggest that the negative impact of pre-transplant DSA on graft outcome could be similar between all donation types. This suggests that immunological risk assessment could be performed in a similar way regardless of the type of donor kidney transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common early complication after kidney transplantation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the early prediction of DGF after kidney transplantation. METHODS A total of 89 renal transplant recipients were retrospectively enrolled and divided into DGF group or normal graft function (NGF) group according to the allograft function. Conventional Doppler ultrasound and CEUS examination data on the first postoperative day were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The resistive indices of segmental and interlobar artery in the DGF group were significantly higher than those in the NGF group (0.71 ± 0.17 versus 0.63 ± 0.08, P = .006; 0.70 ± 0.16 versus 0.62 ± 0.08, P = .004, respectively). The patients experiencing DGF had significantly lower PI-c (14.7 dB ± 6.1 dB versus 18.5 dB ± 3.3 dB, P = .001) and smaller AUC-c (779.8 ± 375.8 dB·seconds versus 991.0 ± 211.7 dB·seconds, P = .003), as well as significantly lower PI-m (12.6 dB ± 5.9 dB versus 15.9 dB ± 3.9 dB, P = .006), shorter MTT-m (30.7 ± 9.4 seconds versus 36.3 ± 7.1 seconds, P = .01), and smaller AUC-m (P = .007). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PI-c, AUC-c, and MTT-m were independent risk factors for DGF. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of the combined predicted value (PI-c + MTT-m, PI-c + AUC-c + MTT-m) of DGF incidence were bigger than that of PI-c, AUC-c, or MTT-m. CONCLUSIONS CEUS parameters of the cortex and medulla have a good value for an early prediction of DGF after renal transplantation.

Abstract
Background Deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) is a major therapeutic option for patients with end-stage renal diseases. Although medical techniques improved in recent years, acute or chronic rejection after DDKT is not uncommon and often results in poor graft survival. Therefore, the determination of risk factors is very important to stratify patients and to improve outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the risk factors for treated rejection (TR) of patients after DDKT. Methods Clinical data of deceased donors and corresponding recipients were retrospectively collected. The primary outcome was TR defined as the treatment for rejection within 24 months after DDKT. Univariate comparisons of baseline characteristics were performed with Chi-square test, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression was constructed to analyze potential risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Jordan index were generated to determine the optimal cutoff value. The association between continuous variables and TR was examined and visualized by using restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Results Data of 123 deceased donors and 246 recipients were obtained and analyzed. The median age was 41 (4-62) years for recipients and 39 (1-65) years for donors. The recipients who died or suffered graft loss during the follow-up period were 8 (3.3%) and 12 (4.9%), respectively. After univariate analysis and subsequent multivariate analysis, the preoperative serum uric acid (OR, 2.242; 95% CI, 1.037-4.844; P = 0.040), platelet (OR, 2.163; 95% CI, 1.073-4.361, P = 0.031), absolute neutrophil count (OR, 2.183; 95% CI, 1.025-4.649; P = 0.043), and HLA-DQ mismatch (OR, 2.102; 95% CI, 1.093-4.043; P = 0.026) showed statistical significance. RCS models showed that patients with higher levels of uric acid had increased risk of TR. Conclusions Serum uric acid and other three indicators were found to be the independent risk factors for TR, which may contribute to stratify patients and develop personalized regimen in perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric kidney transplant (KT) using larger, deceased or living donor adult kidneys can be challenging in the pediatric population due to limited space in the retroperitoneum. Liver and native kidney (L/NK) mobilization techniques can be used in smaller and younger transplant recipients to aid in retroperitoneal placement of the renal allograft. Here, we compare the clinical outcomes of pediatric retroperitoneal KT with and without L/NK mobilization. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed pediatric renal transplant recipients treated between January 2015 and May 2021. Donor and recipient demographics, intraoperative data, and recipient outcomes were included. Recipients were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique utilized: with L/NK mobilization (Group 1) and without L/NK mobilization (Group 2). Baseline variables were described using frequency distributions for categorical variables and means and standard errors for continuous variables. Tests of association with the likelihood of using L/NK mobilization were performed using standard χ2 tests, t tests, and the log-rank test. RESULTS Forty-six pediatric recipients were evaluated and categorized into Group 1 (n = 26) and Group 2 (n = 20). Recipients in Group 1 were younger (6.7 ± 0.8 years vs. 15. 3 ± 0.7, P < 0.001), shorter (109.5 ± 3.7 vs. 154.2 ± 3.8 cm, P < 0.001) and weighed less (21.4 ± 2.0 vs. 48.6 ± 3.4 kg, P < 0.001) than those in Group 2. Other baseline characteristics did not differ between Groups 1 and 2. One urologic complication was encountered in Group 2; no vascular or surgical complications were observed in either group. Additionally, no stents or drains were used in any of the patients. There were no cases of delayed graft function or graft primary nonfunction. The median follow-up of the study was 24.6 months post-transplant. Two patients developed death-censored graft failure (both in Group 2, P = 0.22), and there was one death with a functioning graft (in Group 2, P = 0.21). CONCLUSIONS Retroperitoneal liver/kidney mobilization is a feasible and safe technique that facilitates implantation of adult kidney allografts into pediatric transplant recipients with no increased risk of developing post-operative complications, graft loss, or mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many risk-prediction models for lung transplantation are centered on recipient characteristics and do not account for impact of donor and transplant-related factors or only examine short-term outcomes (eg, predicted 1-y survival). We sought to develop a comprehensive model guiding recipient-donor matching. METHODS We identified double lung transplant recipients (≥12 y old) in the United Network for Organ Sharing Registry (2005-2020) to develop a risk scoring tool. Cohort was divided into derivation and validation sets. A total of 42 recipient, donor, and transplant factors were included in the analysis. Lasso method was used for variable selection. Survival was estimated using Cox-proportional hazard models. An interactive web-based tool was developed for clinical use. RESULTS A derivation cohort (n = 10 660) informed the model with 13-recipient, 4-donor, and 2-transplant variables. Adjusted risk scores were computed for every transplant and grouped into 3 clusters. Model-estimated survival probabilities were similar to the observed in the validation cohort (n = 4464) for all clusters. The mortality increases for medium- and high-risk groups was similar in both derivation and validation cohorts (C statistics for 1-, 5-, and 10-y survival were 0.67, 0.64, and 0.72, respectively). The web-based application estimated 1-, 5-, 10-y survival and half-life for low- (92%, 73%, 52%; 10.5 y), medium- (89%, 62%, 38%; 7.3 y), and high-risk clusters (85%, 52%, 26%; 5.2 y). CONCLUSIONS Advanced methods incorporating machine/deep learning led to a risk scoring model (including recipient, donor, and transplant factors) and a web-based clinical tool providing short- and long-term survival probabilities for recipient-donor matches. This will enable risk-based matching that could improve utilization of and benefit from a limited donor pool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality in kidney transplantation is measured using 1-year patient and graft survival. Because 1-year patient and graft survival exceed 95%, this metric fails to measure a spectrum of quality. Textbook outcomes (TO) are a composite quality metric offering greater depth and resolution. We studied TO after living donor (LD) and deceased donor (DD) kidney transplantation. STUDY DESIGN United Network for Organ Sharing data for 69,165 transplant recipients between 2013 and 2017 were analyzed. TO was defined as patient and graft survival of 1 year or greater, 1-year glomerular filtration rate of greater than 40 mL/min, absence of delayed graft function, length of stay of 5 days or less, no readmissions during the first 6 months, and no episodes of rejection during the first year after transplantation. Bivariate analysis identified characteristics associated with TO, and covariates were incorporated into multivariable models. Five-year conditional survival was measured, and center TO rates were corrected for case complexity to allow center-level comparisons. RESULTS The national average TO rates were 54.1% and 31.7% for LD and DD transplant recipients. The hazard ratio for death at 5 years for recipients who did not experience TO was 1.92 (95% CI 1.68 to 2.18, p ≤ 0.0001) for LD transplant recipients and 2.08 (95% CI 1.93 to 2.24, p ≤ 0.0001) for DD transplant recipients. Center-level comparisons identify 18% and 24% of centers under-performing in LD and DD transplantation. High rates of TO do not correlate with transplantation center volume. CONCLUSION Kidney transplant recipients who experience TO have superior long-term survival. Textbook outcomes add value to the current standards of 1-year patient and graft survival.

Abstract
Purpose An increasing number of patients treated with peritoneal dialysis eventually undergo kidney transplantation. Owing to opposing reports, we aimed to find evidence about the best time for peritoneal dialysis catheter removal in transplant patients. Methods We conducted a systematic review and random effects meta-analysis of non-randomized studies of intervention comparing patients with peritoneal dialysis catheters left in place or removed during kidney transplantation in regard to the need for dialysis and occurrence of catheter-related complications. We searched (last update on 8 December 2021) PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for eligible studies. ROBINS-I tool and funnel plot asymmetry analysis were used to assess the quality of included articles. Results Eight observational studies were evaluated. Five of them, which involved 338 patients, were included in a meta-analysis. All were at moderate to serious risk of bias. The odds of needing dialysis are more than twice as high for patients with peritoneal dialysis catheters left in situ (pooled odds ratio, 2.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03 to 4.73; I2 = 0%). No statistically significant difference was noted when adult and pediatric subgroups were compared (Q = 0.13, P = .720). More individuals with catheters left in place required dialysis (pooled prevalence, 20.9%; 95% CI, 13.6 to 30.7%; I2 = 59% vs. 12.4%; 95% CI, 5.6 to 25.2%; I2 = 0%) and experienced catheter-related infections. Conclusion Available evidence is scarce. Unless new data from a randomized controlled trial are available, the dilemma of peritoneal dialysis catheter removal cannot be solved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Machine perfusion of heart for donation after circulatory death (DCD) is being increasingly utilized. Current protocols for utilizing heart DCD's machine perfusion might prolong donor warm ischemic time for nonheart organs. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of utilizing heart machine perfusion on liver and kidney transplants from the same donor. METHODS We analyzed data of DCD donors from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) from January-2020 to September-2021 among two groups: donors with heart machine perfusion (HM) and without heart machine perfusion (NHM). Propensity score (PS) matching was performed to compare the short-term outcomes of liver and kidney transplants between two groups. RESULTS Total of 102 liver and 319 kidney transplants were performed using organs from donors with HM. After PS matching, no statistically significant difference was seen in 1-year graft survival (GS) for both liver and kidney transplants between two groups (liver HM 90.6% vs. NHM 90.2%, p = .47; kidney HM 95.2% vs. NHM 92.9%, p = .40). There was no difference in the delayed graft function (DGF) rates in kidney transplantation (KT) (HM 42% vs. NHM 35%, p = .062). CONCLUSION Utilization of heart machine perfusion in DCD donors had no significant impact on 1-year outcomes of liver and kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Introduction Hypotension after deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) is a risk factor for delayed graft function (DGF) and poor graft survival (GS). We hypothesize that vasopressin use in hypotensive DDKT recipients (DDKTRs) to increase blood pressure (BP) reduces DGF rates and is safe without increasing mortality. Methods Group with vasopressin "study group" (n = 45) was defined as DDKTRs between 2012 and 2017 who required vasopressin for hypotension systolic BP (SBP) <120 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) <60 mm Hg. DDKTRs with no-vasopressin "comparison group" (n = 90) were propensity score-matched DDKTRs between 2012 and 2017 without vasopressin use. Primary outcomes were GS, creatinine and allograft biopsy rate at 1 year, DGF rate, and death during transplant hospitalization. Results Vasopressin group had lower mean maximum and minimum SBP and DBP in the operating room (OR). Median vasopressin start time post-DDKT was 2 hours (interquartile range [IQR] 1-6), and duration of use was 42 hours (IQR 24-63). DGF, creatinine at 1 year, and allograft biopsy rates were comparable. No deaths occurred during transplant hospitalization. Multivariable analysis did not find an effect of vasopressin use on GS. Conclusion Treatment of hypotensive DDKTRs with vasopressin is safe and facilitated similar graft function and survival with that of nonhypotensive patients. In the absence of a randomized control trial, our study supports the safety of vasopressin therapy to prevent the adverse effects of hypotension.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The molecular mechanisms of the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) after kidney transplantation are not yet clear. The aim of this study was to confirm the genes and mechanisms related to AKI after transplantation. Materials and Methods: To investigate potential genetic targets for AKI, an analysis of the gene expression omnibus database was used to identify key genes and pathways. After identification of differentially expressed genes, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome pathway enrichment analyses were performed. We identified the hub genes and established the protein–protein interaction network. Results: Finally, we identified 137 differentially expressed genes (59 upregulated genes and 16 downregulated genes). AKAP12, AMOT, C3AR1, LY96, PIK3AP1, PLCD4, PLCG2, TENM2, TLR2, and TSPAN5 were filtrated by the hub genes related to the development of post-transplant AKI from the Protein–Protein Interaction (PPI) network. Conclusions: This may provide important evidence of the diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker of AKI.

Abstract
Background The increasing organ shortage in kidney transplantation leads to the necessity to use kidneys previously considered unsuitable for transplantation. Numerous studies illustrate the need for a better decision guidance rather than only the classification into kidneys from standard or expanded criteria donors referred to as SCD/ECD-classification. The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) exhibits a score utilizing a much higher number of donor characteristics. Moreover, graft biopsies provide an opportunity to assess organ quality. Methods In a single center analysis 383 kidney transplantations (277 after deceased and 106 after living donation) performed between January 1st, 2006, and December 31st, 2016, retrospectively underwent SCD/ECD and KDPI scoring. Thereby, the quality of deceased donor kidneys was assessed by using the KDPI and the living donor kidneys by using the living KDPI, in the further analysis merged as (L)KDPI. Baseline biopsies taken 10 min after the onset of reperfusion were reviewed for chronic and acute lesions. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards analysis within a 5-year follow-up. Results The (L)KDPI correlated with glomerulosclerosis (r = 0.30, p < 0.001), arteriosclerosis (r = 0.33, p < 0.001), interstitial fibrosis, and tubular atrophy (r = 0.28, p < 0.001) as well as the extent of acute tubular injury (r = 0.20, p < 0.001). The C-statistic of the (L)KDPI concerning 5-year death censored graft survival was 0.692. Around 48% of ECD-kidneys were classified as (L)KDPI<85%. In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis including (preformed) panel reactive antibodies, cold ischemia time, (L)KDPI, and SCD/ECD-classification, the (L)KDPI was significantly associated with risk of graft loss (hazard ratio per 10% increase in (L)KDPI: 1.185, 95% confidence interval: 1.033–1.360, p = 0.025). Survival analysis revealed decreased death censored (p < 0.001) and non-death censored (p < 0.001) graft survival in kidneys with an increasing (L)KDPI divided into groups of <35, 35–85, and >85%, respectively. Conclusion With a higher granularity compared to the SCD/ECD-classification the (L)KDPI is a promising tool to judge graft quality. The correlation with chronic and acute histological lesions in post-reperfusion kidney biopsies underlines the descriptive value of the (L)KDPI. However, its prognostic value is limited and underlines the urgent need for a more precise prognostic tool adopted to European kidney transplant conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is controversy regarding the impact of delayed graft function (DGF) on kidney transplant outcomes. We hypothesize that the duration of DGF, rather than DGF itself, is associated with long-term kidney graft function. METHODS We analyzed all deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) done at our center between 2008 to 2020. We determined factors associated with DGF duration. DGF duration was assessed at three 14-day intervals: < 14 DGF days, 14-27 DGF days, > 28 DGF days. We studied the impact of DGF duration on survival and graft function and resource utilization, including hospital length of stay and readmissions. RESULTS 1714 DDKT recipients were included, 59.4% (n = 1018) had DGF. The median DGF duration was 10 days IQR (6,15). The majority of recipients (95%) had resolution of DGF within 28 days. Donor factors associated with DGF days were longer cold ischemia time, donor on inotropes, older age, donation after circulatory death, higher terminal creatinine, and hypertension. Recipient factors associated with increased DGF duration included male sex, length on dialysis before transplant, and higher body mass index. There were no differences in acute rejection events or interstitial fibrosis progression by 4 months when comparing DGF days. The median length of stay was 3 days. However, readmissions increased with increasing DGF duration. Death-censored graft survival was not associated with the length of DGF except when DGF lasted > 28 days. CONCLUSIONS Inferior graft survival was observed only in recipients of DDKT with DGF lasting beyond 28 days. DGF lasting < 28 days had no impact on graft survival. Duration of DGF, rather than DGF itself, is associated with graft survival. TRIAL REGISTRATION Retrospective study approved by Mayo Clinic IRB number ID: 20-011561.

Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication of kidney transplantation and frequently leads to the necessity of surveillance biopsies. The purpose of this study is to describe the histological findings in surveillance biopsies of deceased donor kidney transplant recipients and evaluate the risk factors for graft outcomes. This is a monocentric, retrospective study including kidney transplant recipients that underwent a graft biopsy during the DGF period between January 2006 and July 2019. 356 biopsies were performed in 335 deceased donor transplant recipients. Biopsies were analyzed according to the Banff classification. The main histological findings were: acute tubular necrosis in 150 biopsies (42.1%), acute rejection in 96 biopsies (26.9%), and borderline findings in 91 biopsies (25.5%). In the multivariate analysis, recipient age (p = 0.028) and DGF duration (p = 0.005) were associated with rejection, antibody-induction with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) was protective (p = 0.001). The occurrence of rejection was associated with lower death-censored graft survival (log-rank; p = 0.009). Surveillance biopsies of kidney grafts experiencing DGF remain an essential tool for the care of kidney transplant recipients. The recipient’s age and duration of DGF are independent risk factors for acute rejection, while antibody-induction therapy with ATG is associated with protection from its occurrence.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a form of sterile inflammation whose severity determines short- and long-term graft fates in kidney transplantation. Neutrophils are now recognized as a key cell type mediating early graft injury, which activates further innate immune responses and intensifies acquired immunity and alloimmunity. Since the macrolide Bryostatin-1 has been shown to block neutrophil transmigration, we aimed to determine whether these findings could be translated to the field of kidney transplantation. To study the effects of Bryostatin-1 on ischemia-elicited neutrophil transmigration, an in vitro model of hypoxia and normoxia was equipped with human endothelial cells and neutrophils. To translate these findings, a porcine renal autotransplantation model with eight hours of reperfusion was used to study neutrophil infiltration in vivo. Graft-specific treatment using Bryostatin-1 (100 nM) was applied during static cold storage. Bryostatin-1 dose-dependently blocked neutrophil activation and transmigration over ischemically challenged endothelial cell monolayers. When applied to porcine renal autografts, Bryostatin-1 reduced neutrophil graft infiltration, attenuated histological and ultrastructural damage, and improved renal function. Our novel findings demonstrate that Bryostatin-1 is a promising pharmacological candidate for graft-specific treatment in kidney transplantation, as it provides protection by blocking neutrophil infiltration and attenuating functional graft injury.

Abstract
Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is common among post-surgical patients and may cause organ dysfunction. However, its impact after kidney transplantation on early postoperative complications and graft recovery remains unclear. We designed a prospective, observational cohort study to describe the prevalence and determinants of IAP, as well as its effect on delayed graft function, postoperative complications, and graft recovery. IAP was measured in 205 kidney transplant recipients every 8 h during the first 72 h after surgery using the urinary bladder technique. Intra-abdominal hypertension was defined as IAP ≥ 12 mmHg. Patients were followed for 6 months or until graft failure/death. Mean IAP was 12 ± 3.3 mmHg within the first 24 h. 78% of subjects presented with intra-abdominal hypertension during the first 72 h. Increased IAP was associated with higher renal resistive index [r = 0.213; P = 0.003] and lower urine output [r = - 0.237; P < 0.001]. 72 h mean IAP was an independent risk factor for delayed graft function [OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.13-1.51], postoperative complications [OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.03-1.33], and absence of graft function recovery [HR for graft function recovery: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.88-0.99]. Increased IAP was highly prevalent after transplantation and was independently associated with delayed graft function, postoperative complications, and absence of graft function recovery. Routine IAP monitoring should be considered post-transplantation to facilitate early recognition of relevant complications.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes with an important role in the innate immune response. Canonical activation of inflammasomes results in caspase-1 activation and maturation of cytokines interleukin-1β and -18. These cytokines can elicit their effects through receptor activation, both locally within a certain tissue and systemically. Animal models of kidney diseases have shown inflammasome involvement in inflammation, pyroptosis and fibrosis. In particular, the inflammasome component nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and related canonical mechanisms have been investigated. However, it has become increasingly clear that other inflammasome components are also of importance in kidney disease. Moreover, it is becoming obvious that the range of molecular interaction partners of inflammasome components in kidney diseases is wide. This review provides insights into these current areas of research, with special emphasis on the interaction of inflammasome components and redox signalling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial function. We present our findings separately for acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. As we strictly divided the results into preclinical and clinical data, this review enables comparison of results from those complementary research specialities. However, it also reveals that knowledge gaps exist, especially in clinical acute kidney injury inflammasome research. Furthermore, patient comorbidities and treatments seem important drivers of inflammasome component alterations in human kidney disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complement activation in kidney transplantation is implicated in the pathogenesis of delayed graft function (DGF). This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of high-dose recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1INH) to prevent DGF in a nonhuman primate model of kidney transplantation after brain death and prolonged cold ischemia. METHODS Brain death donors underwent 20 h of conventional management. Procured kidneys were stored on ice for 44-48 h, then transplanted into ABO-compatible major histocompatibility complex-mismatched recipients. Recipients were treated with vehicle (n = 5) or rhC1INH 500 U/kg plus heparin 40 U/kg (n = 8) before reperfusion, 12 h, and 24 h posttransplant. Recipients were followed up for 120 d. RESULTS Of vehicle-treated recipients, 80% (4 of 5) developed DGF versus 12.5% (1 of 8) rhC1INH-treated recipients (P = 0.015). rhC1INH-treated recipients had faster creatinine recovery, superior urinary output, and reduced urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2-insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 throughout the first week, indicating reduced allograft injury. Treated recipients presented lower postreperfusion plasma interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and IL-18, lower day 4 monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, and trended toward lower C5. Treated recipients exhibited less C3b/C5b-9 deposition on day 7 biopsies. rhC1INH-treated animals also trended toward prolonged mediated rejection-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Our results recommend high-dose C1INH complement blockade in transplant recipients as an effective strategy to reduce kidney injury and inflammation, prevent DGF, delay antibody-mediated rejection development, and improve transplant outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Immunological factors are a major cause of kidney allograft loss. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have improved short-term kidney allograft survival; however, they in turn contribute to long-term kidney allograft loss from chronic CNI nephrotoxicity. Tolerance induction in transplantation can avoid the long-term adverse effects of immunosuppressive medications. This review aims to critically discuss recent efforts in inducing transplantation tolerance. RECENT FINDINGS Tolerance induction mediated by chimerism has shown some promise in minimizing or even complete withdrawal of immunosuppressive treatments in kidney allograft recipients. There has been a number of approaches as varied as the number of centres conducting these trials. However, they can be grouped into those mediated by transient microchimerism and those facilitated by more stable macro or full donor chimerism. The success rates in terms of long-term drug-free graft survival has been limited in microchimerism-mediated tolerance induction approaches. Mixed macrochimerism of less than 50% donor may be unstable with mostly the recipient's native immune system overpowering the donor chimeric status.Tolerance induction leading to chimerism has been limited to living donor kidney transplantation and additional long-term outcomes are required. Furthermore, immune monitoring after tolerance induction has faced a limitation in studying due to a lack of sufficient study participants and appropriate study controls. SUMMARY Tolerance induction is one of several strategies used to prolong kidney allograft survival, but it has not been routinely utilized in clinical practice. However, future applications from the trials to clinical practice remain limited to living donor kidney transplantation. Once further data regarding tolerance inductions exist and practicality becomes widely accepted, tolerance induction may shift the paradigm in the field of kidney transplantation to achieve the best possible outcome of 'One Organ for Life'.

Abstract
Delayed-graft function (DGF) might be responsible for shorter graft survival. Therefore, a clinical tool predicting its occurrence is vital for the risk assessment of transplant outcomes. In a single-center study, we conducted data mining and machine learning experiments, resulting in DGF predictive models based on random forest classifiers (RF) and an artificial neural network called multi-layer perceptron (MLP). All designed models had four common input parameters, determining the best accuracy and discriminant ability: donor’s eGFR, recipient’s BMI, donor’s BMI, and recipient–donor weight difference. RF and MLP designs, using these parameters, achieved an accuracy of 84.38% and an area under curve (AUC) 0.84. The model additionally implementing a donor’s age, gender, and Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) accomplished an accuracy of 93.75% and an AUC of 0.91. The other configuration with the estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS) and the kidney donor risk profile (KDRI) achieved an accuracy of 93.75% and an AUC of 0.92. Using machine learning, we were able to assess the risk of DGF in recipients after kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Our solution is scalable and can be improved during subsequent transplants. Based on the new data, the models can achieve better outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and body mass index (BMI) of the deceased donor on the kidney allograft outcome 1 year after transplantation. METHODS We retrospectively studied 98 deceased kidney allograft donors with a mean age of 56 ± 12 years. The donors were divided into 5 groups according to their BMI: Normal ΒΜΙ = 25 (n = 25); ΒΜΙ 25 to 29 = Overweight (n = 33); ΒΜΙ 30 to 34.9 = Obese class I (n = 19); ΒΜΙ 35 to 39 = Obese class ΙΙ (n = 11); and ΒΜΙ >40 = Obese class III (n = 10). We examined the impact of the deceased donor's BMI and KDPI on delayed graft function (DGF) and estimated renal glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (measured by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation) 1 year after transplantation. RESULTS Donor BMI significantly increased the prevalence of DGF (P = .031), and it was associated with higher cold ischemia time (P = .021). However, there was no significant association between the aforementioned BMI groups and 1-year eGFR (P = 0.57), as deceased grafts from donors with increased BMI (BMI > 40) gained sufficient renal function during the first year of transplantation. Moreover, high KDPI was associated not only with DGF (P = .015), but also with decreased values of eGFR (P = .033). CONCLUSION In this population, we identified no significant association between donor BMI and long-term clinical outcomes in deceased donor kidney transplants. KDPI, and not ΒΜΙ, of the deceased donor seems to be a good prognostic factor of renal function at the end of the first year after kidney transplant, whereas high BMI and high KDPI markedly induce DGF.

Abstract
There are no prior studies assessing the risk factors and outcomes for kidney delayed graft function (K-DGF) in simultaneous heart and kidney (SHK) transplant recipients. Using the OPTN/UNOS database, we sought to identify risk factors associated with the development of K-DGF in this unique population, as well as outcomes associated with K-DGF. A total of 1161 SHK transplanted between 1998 and 2018 were included in the analysis, of which 311 (27%) were in the K-DGF (+) group and 850 in the K-DGF (-) group. In the multivariable analysis, history of pretransplant dialysis (OR: 3.95; 95% CI: 2.94 to 5.29; p < .001) was significantly associated with the development of K-DGF, as was donor death from cerebrovascular accident and longer cold ischemia time of either organ. SHK recipients with K-DGF had increased mortality (HR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.52 to 2.60; p < .001) and death censored kidney graft failure (HR: 3.51; 95% CI: 2.29 to 5.36; p < .001) in the multivariable analysis. Similar outcomes were obtained when limiting our study to 2008-2018. Similar to kidney-only recipients, K-DGF in SHK recipients is associated with worse outcomes. Careful matching of recipients and donors, as well as peri-operative management, may help reduce the risk of K-DGF and the associated detrimental effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplantation has been introduced to address organ shortage. However, DCD kidneys are not accepted worldwide due to concerns about inferior quality. To investigate whether these concerns are justified, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate DCD graft outcomes compared to donation after brain death (DBD). MATERIALS AND METHODS EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched from database inception until September 2020. Exclusion criteria were studies reporting on pediatric/dual kidney transplants, multi-organ transplants or studies including normothermic perfusion techniques. The primary outcome was graft survival. Secondary outcomes were primary non-function (PNF), delayed graft function (DGF), 3-months biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), 1-year estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), patient survival, and urologic complications. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. Meta-regression analysis was performed in case of high between-study heterogeneity. RESULTS Fifty-one studies were included, comprising 73,454 DCD and 518,229 DBD recipients. One-year graft loss was increased in DCD recipients (death-censored: risk ratio (RR) 1.10 (95%-confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.16), all-cause: RR 1.13 (95%-CI 1.08-1.19)). Ten-year graft loss was similar to DBD (death-censored: RR 1.02 (95%-CI 0.92-1.13), all-cause: RR 1.03 (95%-CI 0.94-1.13)). DCD recipients had an increased risk of PNF (RR 1.43 (95%-CI 1.26-1.62)), DGF (RR 2.02 (95%-CI 1.88-2.16)), and 1-year mortality (RR 1.10 (95%-CI 1.01-1.21)). No differences were observed for 3-months BPAR, ureter stenosis/leakage, 1-year eGFR and 10-year mortality. CONCLUSION Long-term DCD kidney transplant outcomes are similar to DBD despite a higher risk of PNF, DGF, and a 13% increased risk of graft loss in the first year after transplantation. These results should encourage implementation of DCD programs.

Abstract
There is limited evidence regarding the impact of allograft nephrectomy (AN) on the long-term outcome of subsequent kidney re-transplantation compared with no prior allograft nephrectomy. The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the accumulation of evidence over time. Primary outcomes were 5-year graft and patient survival. Cochrane library, Google scholar, PubMed, Medline and Embase were systematically searched. Meta-analysis was conducted using both fixed- and random-effects models. Study quality was assessed in duplicate using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Sixteen studies were included, with a total of 2256 patients. All included studies were retrospective and comparative. There was no significant difference in 5-year graft survival (GS) [Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.11, 95% Confidence Intervals (CI): 0.89, 1.38, P = 0.37, I2 = 10%) or in 5-year patient survival (PS; HR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.45, 1.10, P = 0.12, I2 = 0%]. Patients in the AN cohort were significantly younger than patients in the nonallograft nephrectomy (NAN) cohort by one year. Prior allograft nephrectomy was associated with a significantly higher risk of delayed graft function (DGF), acute rejection, primary nonfunction (PNF), per cent of panel reactive antibodies (% PRA) and allograft loss of the subsequent transplant. Although, DGF, % PRA, acute rejection and primary nonfunction rates were significantly higher in the AN cohort, allograft nephrectomy prior to re-transplantation had no significant association with five-year graft and patient survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) parameters are influenced by donor variables which further affect recipient outcome. Interplay between these parameters can help to predict kidney performance on pump and the long term outcome. METHODS All the kidneys transplanted at our center between May 2013 through November 2017 were included in the study. Donor and recipient data was obtained from internal database. Multiple logistic regression models with backward selection were used to determine significant donor and pump variables. RESULTS Donor BMI, KDPI, age and donor sex had a significant association with pump flow. Donor sex, donor type, KDPI and age had significant effect on RI. Diastolic pressure and KDPI were significantly associated with DGF. Duration on pump, KDPI, flow, donor creatinine and type of donor were significantly associated with day 5 creatinine. KDPI was significantly associated with Day 365 creatinine. CONCLUSION HMP effects early graft function while the long term function depends on donor parameters.

Abstract
We describe a case where a patient received a successful dual kidney transplantation in a staggered fashion. Two kidneys from a deceased donor were accepted for 2 separate primary intended recipients, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, both kidneys were eventually transplanted in a staggered fashion into an alternate single recipient. The intention behind this method was to enhance the patient's renal function and to prevent the wastage of a kidney. Despite the significantly prolonged cold ischemia times, the recipient has excellent dual graft function after 3 years. The positive outcome underpins the effectiveness of donor kidneys even with prolonged cold ischemia times outside established best practice guidelines. It also reinforces the effectiveness of dual kidney transplantation. Transplant professionals encounter complex situations occasionally where an established evidence-base or aids to decision-making are limited. This case reflects challenges in decision-making, patient counselling and consent, especially when the opportunity for the staggered dual kidney transplantation, with potential increased morbidity, came about as another recipient declined a usable kidney. It also highlights the widely differing risk appetites of different patients. Crucially, it optimised the donation process and procurement of 2 kidneys while preventing wastage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a staggered dual kidney transplantation in a single recipient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to determine the ratio of delayed graft function in renal transplant recipients from living donors and the predictive value of hemodialysis time before transplant for delayed graft function. METHODS We conducted a study on 116 adult patients who were diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease and were treated with hemodialysis and transplanted kidneys from living donors for 2 years (from June 2018 to June 2020). Delayed graft function event was collected for each patient. RESULTS The recipients had a median age of 36.5 years old, in which 55.2% of them were men, 4.3% of them had the diabetic mellitus, and the median hemodialysis duration was 6 months. The ratio of positive panel-reactive antibody was 33.6% and vascular reconstruction of the donor's kidney was 16.4%. The ratio of delayed graft function was 12.2% (14 of 116 patients). Delayed graft function significantly related to positive panel-reactive antibody, long duration of hemodialysis before transplant, and vascular reconstruction of donor's kidney with P < .001. Duration of hemodialysis before kidney transplant had a predictive value for delayed graft function (area under the curve, 0.83; P < .001). CONCLUSION Delayed graft function was not rare in renal transplant recipients from living donors. Duration of hemodialysis before kidney transplant was a good predictor for delayed graft function.

Abstract
Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been used increasingly in past decade. Many of these patients undergo transplantation and may require dialysis for delayed graft function (DGF). The outcomes of DGF based on the post-transplantation dialysis modality are not well known. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health who developed DGF between November 2015 and April 2019. Patients were divided into those who received hemodialysis (HD) or PD during the DGF period. Immediate graft explant, DGF among living donor KTRs, or those requiring just a single dialysis treatment were excluded. Results Of 224 KTRs with DGF during the study period, 167 fulfilled our selection criteria. There were 16 patients in the PD and 151 in the HD group. Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups, except diabetes was more prevalent in the HD group. Five of 16 PD patients had to be transitioned to HD. There was no difference in DGF duration, hospital length of stay, infectious or surgical complications, rejection at various time periods, graft function at last follow-up, or graft failure. In multivariate analysis, only rejection within the first year of transplantation (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-15.08; P = 0.02) and post-surgical complications (HR: 3.79; 95% CI: 1.03- 13.91; P = 0.04) were associated with death-censored graft failure (DCGF). The use of PD for treatment of DGF was not associated with DCGF. Conclusions In carefully selected patients, PD can be continued safely for DGF without any effect on short-term or long-term transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Background Pre-existing chronic hypotension affects a percentage of kidney transplanted patients (KTs). Although a relationship with delayed graft function (DGF) has been hypothesized, available data are still scarce and inconclusive. Methods A monocentric retrospective observational study was performed on 1127 consecutive KTs from brain death donors over 11 years (2003–2013), classified according to their pre-transplant Mean Blood Pressure (MBP) as hypotensive (MBP < 80 mmHg) or normal-hypertensive (MBP ≥ 80 mmHg, with or without effective antihypertensive therapy). Results Univariate analysis showed that a pre-existing hypotension is associated to DGF occurrence (p<0.01; OR for KTs with MBP < 80 mmHg, 4.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.7 to 7.5). Chronic hypotension remained a major predictive factor for DGF development in the logistic regression model adjusted for all DGF determinants. Adjunctive evaluations on paired grafts performed in two different recipients (one hypotensive and the other one normal-hypertensive) confirmed this assumption. Although graft survival was only associated with DGF but not with chronic hypotension in the overall population, stratification according to donor age revealed that death-censored graft survival was significantly lower in hypotensive patients who received a KT from >50 years old donor. Conclusions Our findings suggest that pre-existing recipient hypotension, and the subsequent hypotension-related DGF, could be considered a significant detrimental factor, especially when elderly donors are involved in the transplant procedure.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common finding in kidney donors and recipients. AKI in kidney donor, which increases the risk of delayed graft function (DGF), may not by itself jeopardize the short- and long-term outcome of transplantation. However, some forms of AKI may induce graft rejection, fibrosis, and eventually graft dysfunction. Therefore, various strategies have been proposed to identify conditions at highest risk of AKI-induced DGF, that can be treated by targeting the donor, the recipient, or even the graft itself with the use of perfusion machines. AKI that occurs early post-transplant after a period of initial recovery of graft function may reflect serious and often occult systemic complications that may require prompt intervention to prevent graft loss. AKI that develops long after transplantation is often related to nephrotoxic drug reactions. In symptomatic patients, AKI is usually associated with various systemic medical complications and could represent a risk of mortality. Electronic systems have been developed to alert transplant physicians that AKI has occurred in a transplant recipient during long-term outpatient follow-up. Herein, we will review most recent understandings of pathophysiology, diagnosis, therapeutic approach, and short- and long-term consequences of AKI occurring in both the donor and in the kidney transplant recipient.

Abstract
Background Kidneys obtained from deceased donors increase the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) after renal transplantation. Here we investigated the influence of the risk factors of donors with DGF, and developed a donor risk scoring system for DGF prediction. Methods This retrospective study was conducted in 1807 deceased kidney donors and 3599 recipients who received donor kidneys via transplants in 29 centers in China. We quantified DGF associations with donor clinical characteristics. A donor risk scoring system was developed and validated using an independent sample set. Results The incidence of DGF from donors was 19.0%. Six of the donor characteristics analyzed, i.e., age, cause of death, history of hypertension, terminal serum creatinine, persistence of hypotension, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) time were risk factors for DGF. A 49-point scoring system of donor risk was established for DGF prediction and exhibited a superior degree of discrimination. External validation of DGF prediction revealed area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUC) curves of 0.7552. Conclusions Our study determined the deceased donor risk factors related to DGF after renal transplantation pertinent to the Chinese cohort. The scoring system developed here had superior diagnostic significance and consistency and can be used by clinicians to make evidence-based decisions on the quality of kidneys from deceased donors and guide renal transplantation therapy.

Abstract
Obesity in deceased kidney donors is a known risk factor for poor allograft outcomes. The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) has been introduced to predict graft survival in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT). Obesity, however, is not included in KDPI. We study the impact of donor obesity on DDKT outcomes after adjusting for organ quality by KDPI. The Organ Procurement Transplantation Network/United Network for Organ Sharing (OPTN/UNOS) data of DDKT from 2005 to 2017, with donor BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 and weight >80 kg were included. There was a total of 66 382 DDKTs with 10 917 death-censored graft failures. For KDPI ≤ 30%, the 10-year death-censored graft survival (DCGS) rates among donor BMI < 30, 30-35, 35-40, 40-45 and ≥45 kg/m2 groups were 75.9%, 75.4%, 76.1%, 74.9% and 79.6%, respectively. For KDPI > 30%, 10-year DCGS rates were 67.5%, 66.1%, 65.9%, 62.6% and 63.2%, respectively. After adjusting for known confounding factors including KDPI, donor obesity was not independently associated with an increased risk for graft failure. In DDKT with donor weight >80 kg, donor obesity was not associated with a lower long term DCGS compared to non-obesity when KDPI ≤ 30%.
