Abstract:
Objective To explore the outcomes of the transplanted kidney as donor for clinical renal transplantation and summarize experience in combination with related literature.Method This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical documents of one case of uremia receiving renal allograft transplantation with the transplanted kidney as the donor in one case of renal transplantation after brain death in February,2015.The donor was a 31-year-old man who received renal transplantation for uremia in November,2014 and obtained normal renal function.Two months later,the patient was brain dead because of neurologic disorder and donated his transplanted kidney.The serum creatinine of the donor was 167 μmol/L,and the glomerular filtration rate was about 35 mL/min befor donation.The recipient was 27 years old who needed transplantation because of chronic renal function failure and uremia.Preoperation tests showed that PRA was negative,and serum creatinine was 1 353 μmol/L.After separating and dissecting the donor kidney carefully,we perfused and compensated the kidney by Lifeport Organ Perfusion and Preservation Conveyor.The warm ischemia time was about 15 min.The renal vein of the donor was anastomized with right external iliac vein of the receptor,artery with right external iliac artery,and ureter with right centrifugal ureter.Result The operating time was more than 3 h.Postoperatively,the recipient was given the immunosuppressive regimen as tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone to prevent rejection.At 1 st day postoperation,the 24-h urine volume of the receptor was 5 000 mL,serum creatinine was declined gradually to a minimum of 180μmol/L,and there was trace urine protein.The renal function of patient recovered well by now.Meanwhile,the patient was still under the follow-up.Conclusion It is practical that using transplanted kidney as donor kidney for re-transplantation.There were certain clinical significance for shortening the waiting time of renal transplantation in uremia patients and relieving the shortage of transplant kidney.
