Factors related to the donor organ are major determinants of renal allograft function and survival

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the relative impact of donor and recipient variables on cadaveric renal allograft function and survival. The unique feature of the study population is that each pair of recipients received their allografts from a single donor. The study includes 378 adult patients. In 129 pairs both recipients were Caucasian, and in 60 pairs one recipient was Caucasian and the other was African-American. All transplants were done in one center, thus minimizing differences in preservation time and providing uniform posttransplant management. The initial analysis showed a relationship between the function of the allograft 6 months after transplantation (serum creatinine [SCr]6 mo) and donor variables (P = 0.0004, analysis of variance). Furthermore, it was calculated that 64% of the variability in the SCr 6mo among patients was due to donor factors and 36% was due to recipient factors. An elevated SCr 6 mo was significantly associated with older donors, male recipients, and patients with acute rejection episodes. Furthermore, other unidentified donor factors may have an impact on allograft function. Reflecting the importance of donor factors, there was a significant relationship between SCr 6mo in paired recipients (P < ...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
