Outcome of Kidney Transplantation From Donor After Cardiac Death: Reanalysis of the US Mycophenolic Renal Transplant Registry.
Transplantation Proceedings 2018 June
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation is limited by the shortage of donor kidneys. Donation after cardiac death (DCD) has been explored to alleviate this problem. To better understand the outcome of DCD kidney transplantation, we reanalyzed the Mycophenolic Renal Transplant (MORE) Registry.
METHODS: We compared delayed graft function (DGF), biopsy-proved acute rejection (BPAR), graft loss, and patient death between DCD and donation after brain death (DBD) kidney transplantations. Recipients were further stratified into depleting and nondepleting induction groups for exploratory analysis.
RESULTS: There were 548 patients who received kidney transplants from deceased donor in the MORE Registry. Among them, 133 received grafts from DCD donors and 415 received from DBD donors. The incidence of DGF was 29.4% and 23.5% in the DCD group and the DBD group, respectively (P = .1812), and the incidence of BPAR at 12 months was 9.0% and 9.9% respectively (P = .7713). The 1-year graft loss rate in the DCD group was higher than that in the DBD group (7.5% vs 3.1%, P = .0283), and the 4-year graft loss rate and patient death rate were not significantly different between the 2 groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The DCD kidney transplant group had acceptable short-term outcomes and good long-term outcomes as compared with the DBD kidney transplant group.
