High terminal creatinine donors should not preclude simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation - 12/04/21
Abstract |
Background |
Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) in the setting of end-stage renal disease offers unmatched outcomes in insulin dependent diabetic patients. Donor pool expansion through the transplantation of kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) is controversial.
Methods |
59 SPK transplants were classified by presence of donor AKI, defined as donor terminal creatinine ≥ 1.5x the initial creatinine or donor terminal creatinine > 4.0 mg/dL. Endpoints included graft and patient survival, delayed graft function (DGF), serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and acute rejection.
Results |
The donor AKI group (n = 35) had significantly higher rates of DGF (38 v. 9%, p = 0.01). There was no difference in creatinine or GFR at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. HbA1c was comparable at 3, 6 and 12 months. There was no significant difference in the percentage of patients that required anti-diabetic agents after transplant (14 v. 4%, p = 0.56).
Conclusions |
We observed increased rates of DGF in SPK recipients with donor AKI. However, equivalent outcomes of pancreas and kidney function in both groups were observed.

• | SPK transplantation from donor’s with AKI can aid in expanding the donor pool. |
• | AKI donors result in increased rates of DGF in SPK recipients. |
• | However, no difference in eGFR at 1,3,6 and 12 month follow up was observed. |
• | No difference in hemoglobin A1c at 3,6 and 12 month follow up was observed. |
