Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been introduced as an alternative to static cold storage (SCS) in kidney transplantation, but its true benefit in the clinical routine remains incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of HMP vs. SCS in kidney transplantation. All kidney transplants performed between 08/2015 and 12/2019 (n = 347) were propensity score (PS) matched for cold ischemia time (CIT), extended criteria donor (ECD), gender mismatch, cytomegalovirus (CMV) mismatch, re-transplantation and Eurotransplant (ET) senior program. A total of 103 HMP and 103 SCS instances fitted the matching criteria. Prior to PS matching, the CIT was longer in the HMP group (17.5 h vs. 13.3 h; p < 0.001), while the delayed graft function (DGF) rates were 29.8% and 32.3% in HMP and SCS, respectively. In the PS matched groups, the DGF rate was 64.1% in SCS vs. 31.1% following HMP: equivalent to a 51.5% reduction of the DGF rate (OR 0.485, 95% CI 0.318–0.740). DGF was associated with decreased 1- and 3-year graft survival (100% and 96.3% vs. 90.8% and 86.7%, p = 0.001 and p = 0.008) or a 4.1-fold increased risk of graft failure (HR = 4.108; 95% CI: 1.336–12.631; p = 0.014). HMP significantly reduces DGF in kidney transplantation. DGF remains a strong predictor of graft survival.

Introduction: Donation after cardiac death (DCD) began in 2011 after the program hosted by the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in China. The aim of this study is to report on our experience regarding the method of preserving donated kidneys for DCD kidney transplantation. Material and Methods: A total of 37 donors and 73 primary kidney transplant recipients during the period 2011-2014 in the Urology Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University were enrolled in the study. Recipients were assigned to traditional static cold storage (SCS) group and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) group based on the preservation environment of donated kidneys after organ harvest. Clinical data were collected for each group. Result: The HMP group had a lower rate of delayed graft function (DGF), better postoperative recovery and kidney function compared with that of SCS group. There is no significant difference in postoperative rejection incidence between the 2 groups. Conclusions: DCD kidneys stored by hypothermic machine contribute to a lower rate of DGF and promoted the rehabilitation progress.

Introduction. We present our experience with hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) versus cold storage (CS) in relation to kidney transplant outcomes. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 33 consecutive HMP kidney transplant outcomes matched with those of 33 cold stored: delayed graft function (DGF), length of hospital stay (LOS), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and patient and graft survival were compared. Renal Resistive Indexes (RIs) during HMP in relation to DGF were also analysed. Results. In the HMP group, mean HMP time was 5.7 ± 3.9 hours with a mean cold ischaemic time (CIT) of 15 ± 5.6 versus 15.1 ± 5.3 hours in the CS group. DGF was lower in the HMP group (p=0.041), and donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) was a predictor for DGF (p<0.01). HMP decreased DGF in DCD grafts (p=0.036). Patient and graft survival were similar, but eGFR at 365 days was higher in the HMP cohort (p<0.001). RIs decreased during HMP (p<0.01); 2-hours RI ≥ 0.45 mmHg/mL/min predicted DGF in DCD kidneys (75% sensitivity, 80% specificity; area under the curve 0.78); 2-hours RI ≥ 0.2 mmHg/ml/min predicted DGF in DBD grafts (sensitivity 100%, specificity 91%; area under the curve 0.87). Conclusion. HMP decreased DGF compared to CS, offering viability assessment pretransplant and improving one-year renal function of the grafts.
