INTRODUCTION: DGF is a well-known risk factor for long-term kidney survival in RT. DGF hasn't been evaluated in RT from SCD and from UDCD donors.

AIM: To identify factors associated with 5 years renal graft survival in RT in UDCD donors and SCD.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We compared factors associated with 5 years graft survival from RT from UDCD performed since July 2005 to December 2013 with RT from SCD in the same period in our hospital. We exclude non-primary function of the analysis of survival.

RESULTS: We performed 237 RT from UDCD and 237 from SCD. We excluded 16 vs 7 non-primary functions (p=0.07) from UDCD and SCD groups. We included 221 RT in UDCD and 230 in SCD group. 22 kidneys were lost in UDCD and 20 in SCD group: 8 vs 5 recipient's deaths (p=ns), 3 vs 5 acute rejections (p=ns), 3 vs 6 chronic rejections (p=ns), 8 vs 4 other causes, respectively. 5 years graft survival in UDCD was 89% vs 90% in SCD (p=0.5). Table shows univariable analysis.

Proteinuria > 1 g/day 1 year  20  6.00-67  <0.001   –  –  0.6 

Multivariable data analysis shown that proteinuria >1 g/day (HR 13; 95% CI, 3.6 to 48; p=<0.001) in UDCD group and DGF (HR 9; 95% CI, 1.1 to 73; p=0.03) in SCD group are the main factors associated with graft lost after 5 years.

CONCLUSSION: Contrary to what happened in the RT from SCD group, DGF doesn't influence negatively the long-term graft survival despite increased ischemic stress and more prolonged DGF than RT from SCD. Brain death has inherent factors like catecholamine storm that could be involved in DGF and therefore, on long-term renal survival from SCD.
