Results of Renal Transplant From Deceased Anti-hepatitis C Virus Donors, Poland 1998-2012.
Transplantation Proceedings 2018 July
Kidney transplant (KTx) is the best method of renal insufficiency treatment. In dialyzed patients, mortality rises with the time on dialysis. There is a continuing shortage of organs for transplantation, hence a propensity to expand the donor pool with expanded-criteria donors, anti-hepatitis C virus-positive included. In the above case a transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype to recipient is present. It has been proven that contamination with more than 1 HCV genotype did not worsen KTx outcomes. There are 2.6% anti-HCV(+) donors in Poland. Use is only possible in cases of anti-HCV(+) and anti-HCV RNA(+) recipients.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis covered 8675 deceased donors (1998-2012 Polish data from Poltransplant). The early (after 12 months) and late (after 60 months) graft and patient survival was assessed in KTx recipients, with documented recipient and donor data spanning at least 1 year after KTx. In comprehensive analysis, 7016 KTx recipients with known anti-HCV status were included according to anti-HCV profile of recipient and donor. The results are in absolute and percentage values and P < .05 assessed with χ2 test.
RESULTS: Twelve-month survival: recipient (R) (95%), graft (G) (89%), total; R (95% vs 89%, P < .001), G (88 vs 79, P < .001) in HCV(-) to HCV(+/-) vs HCV(+) to HCV(+); R (95 vs 94, P = .2), G (88 vs 83, P < .001), HCV(-) to HCV(-) vs HCV(-) to HCV(+); R (93 vs 95, P = .004), G (82 vs 89, P < .001) in HCV(+/-) to HCV(+) vs HCV(-) to HCV(-); R (95 vs 89, P < .001), G (88 vs 79, P < .001) in HCV(-) to HCV(-) vs HCV(+) vs HCV (+). Sixty-month survival: R (86%), G (75%), total; R (84 vs 88, P = .01), G (63 vs 71, P = .001) in HCV(+/-) to HCV(+) vs HCV(-) to HCV(-); R (88 vs 80, P = .003) in HCV(-) to HCV(-) vs HCV(+) to HCV(+).
CONCLUSIONS: The worst anti-HCV serological profile was HCV(+) to HCV(+), although transplanting HCV(+) to HCV(+) did not worsen outcomes in that group. Worse KTx outcomes of HCV(+) over HCV(-) donors can be attributed to HCV(+) status of the recipient.
