Abstract
Non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs) are an important potential source of donor organs, but kidneys from such donors are prone to delayed graft function (DGF) and primary nonfunction, which are multifactorial in origin but believed to be mainly due to warm ischemic injury. This retrospective study examined a series of 88 transplants from Maastricht category II and III NHBDs to examine the role of factors to predict the duration of DGF. The main factors affecting duration of DGF were total warm ischemic time, cold ischemic time, product of perfusate GST concentration and donor age, quality of postoperative graft perfusion, incidence of acute rejection, recipient cardiovascular risk score, maximum pressure on machine perfusion, and weight gain during machine perfusion. Primary nonfunction was not accurately predicted from these factors for kidneys that had passed the viability assessment.Entities:
