    Perfusion preservation may harm kidney transplants, causing lesions linked to poor function and survival. Hypothermia alone did not show these adverse effects in kidney allografts.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Kidney transplantation is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • Graft survival depends on preserving organ quality during preservation.
    • Perfusion preservation is an alternative to static hypothermic storage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of perfusion preservation on kidney transplant structure and survival.
    • To identify potential pathological changes associated with perfusion preservation techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Correlation of clinical and histological data from 77 kidney transplants.
    • Biopsies performed one hour post-transplantation.
    • Comparison between perfusion-preserved and hypothermia-preserved kidneys.

    Main Results:

    • A glomerular capillary lesion, suggestive of intravascular coagulation, was found in 21/36 (58%) perfusion-preserved kidneys.
    • None of the 41 hypothermia-preserved kidneys exhibited this lesion.
    • The lesion was associated with a higher rate of nephrectomy and poorer early graft function (serum creatinine levels).

    Conclusions:

    • Perfusion preservation may induce pathological changes in kidney allografts.
    • These changes may adversely affect early kidney transplant function and survival.
    • The specific mechanisms causing these pathological changes require further investigation.
