Corticosteroids in organ preservation.

R E McCabe, L E Stevens, H F Fitzpatrick

    Transplantation Proceedings
    |March 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Large doses of methylprednisolone (M-P) protect transplant organs from ischemic injury. This reduces the incidence of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) after kidney transplantation, improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Transplantation immunology
    • Organ preservation science
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Glucocorticoids are empirically used in organ preservation.
    • Corticosteroids stabilize membranes, act as vasodilators, and inhibit inflammation.
    • Their precise role in preventing ischemic injury during organ recovery is under investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of methylprednisolone (M-P) in protecting transplantable organs.
    • To assess the impact of M-P on reducing post-transplant acute tubular necrosis (ATN).

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical and laboratory evidence regarding M-P use in organ donation.
    • Analysis of ATN incidence in cadaveric kidney preservation via pulsatile perfusion.
    • Comparison of ATN rates with and without M-P donor pre-treatment.

    Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in ATN incidence from 57% to 18% was observed.
    • This reduction correlated with the administration of large doses of M-P to the donor.
    • Evidence supports M-P's protective role against ischemic injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Large doses of methylprednisolone (M-P) administered to prospective donors offer protection against ischemic injury.
    • M-P pre-treatment significantly decreases the incidence of ATN in cadaveric kidney transplantation.
    • Clinical and laboratory data substantiate M-P as a protective agent in organ recovery.
