Abstract:
Objective:To retrospectively analyze clinical data of infant donors with body weight ≤15 kg into children recipients, and to investigate the efficacy and complications under the strategy of pediatric donor to pediatric recipient (PTP) of pediatric kidney transplantation allocation.Methods:Clinical data of kidney transplantation for children with infant donors performed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2010 to December 2019 were collected.Clinical data of donors and recipients, postoperative adverse events, postoperative renal recovery, and human and renal survival were analyzed.Results:A total of 50 infant donors and 93 pediatric recipients were enrolled in this study.Recipients included 89 patients with single kidney transplantation (SKT) and 4 with en-bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT). The major perioperative complications were delayed graft function (DGF) (5 cases, 5.4%) and vascular thrombosis (VT) (3 cases, 3.2%), followed by recurrence of primary nephropathy (3 cases, 3.2%), respiratory tract infection (3 cases, 3.2%), and acute rejection (AR) (2 cases, 2.2%). During the follow-up period, the main cause of death was respiratory tract infection (4 cases, 4.3%). Except for the cause of death, the main causes of graft loss were rejection (2 cases, 2.2%) and recurrence of primary kidney disease (2 cases, 2.2%). Serum creatinine decreased progressively from (824.77±150.24) μmol/L preoperatively to (90.73±47.24) μmol/L 1 month postoperatively.In SKT group, the median follow-up time was 31 months (3-74 months), and the survival rates of recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were 97.5%/94.2%, 96%/88.8% and 93.1%/86.1%, respectively.In EBKT group, the median follow-up time was 50 months (13-65 months), and the survival rates of recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were all 100.0%.During the fo-llow-up period, there was no significant difference in the human/kidney survival rate between groups (all P>0.05), and well acceptable transplantation outcomes were obtained. Conclusions:Single/double kidney transplantation for children and adolescent recipients from infant donors in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University has achieved acceptable outcomes.Adopted by the PTP strategy, the incidence of complications after kidney transplantation does not increase, indicating its safety and reliability.
