Hypothermia limits kidney donation by worsening warm ischemic (WI) damage. Ex vivo warm perfusion technology can mitigate WI kidney damage, improving outcomes and expanding donor pool potential.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation Immunology
  • Organ Preservation

Background:

  • Expanding the donor pool is critical for kidney transplantation.
  • Warm ischemic (WI) damage is a significant barrier to utilizing more donor kidneys.
  • Current organ preservation methods may exacerbate WI-induced kidney injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify limiting factors in expanding the donor pool for kidneys with warm ischemic damage.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of ex vivo warm perfusion combined with cold storage for preserving WI-damaged kidneys.

Main Methods:

  • Canine kidneys underwent 30 minutes of warm ischemia (WI).
  • Kidneys were preserved using cold storage (CS), ex vivo warm perfusion with exsanguineous metabolic support (EMS), or a combination.

  • Preserved kidneys were autotransplanted, and renal function was assessed via serum creatinine levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Kidneys with WI and CS alone showed delayed recovery (peak creatinine 6.3 mg/dL, 14 days to normalize).
    • Ex vivo warm perfusion (32°C) for 18 hours significantly improved outcomes (peak creatinine 2.6 mg/dL).
    • Warm perfusion ameliorated CS-induced damage, while CS after warm perfusion worsened outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothermia during preservation is a major limiting factor for utilizing WI-damaged donor kidneys.
    • Ex vivo warm perfusion technology can effectively mitigate warm ischemic injury in kidneys.
    • This approach holds promise for expanding donor pool eligibility in kidney transplantation.
