Correlation between dual kidney biopsy in expanded-criteria donors and transplant survival

Abstract:

Objective The aim was to study the relation between same-donor renal biopsies and analyze whether the score influences graft survival. Methods We retrospectively reviewed histologic results of expanded-criteria donors and the graft survival in patients followed at Reina Sofia Hospital (Cordoba, Spain) from January 2004 to October 2012. We analyzed clinical and demographic variables from the donors, as well the association between the scores of same-donor biopsies who had different scores for each kidney and the graft survival with a t test for paired data. A Kaplan-Meier with log-rank test was performed between the higher-score and the lower-score groups. We excluded retransplantation and those who received a combined transplantation (liver or pancreas). Results We analyzed 168 kidneys that had been biopsied, from 84 donors. Of the whole sample, 35.7% (n = 30) had the same score for each kidney …
