Introduction: Kidneys transplantations (KT) from uDCD have higher ischemia injury. It develops in higher primary non-function and delayed graft function, lower graft survival and worst renal function than ideal donors. However a optimal use of kidney from uDCD help us to reduce the otherwise, large renal transplant waiting list.

Aim: To identify donor and procurement factors of uDCD and their influence with one-year graft survival.

Material and Methods: We included all patients that received a KT form uDCD with at least one year of follow-up. We reviewed variables of uDCD and their influence in one-year death censored graft survival .

Results: We included 264 KT from uDCD. Donor characteristics were: age 44±9.7 years old, 87% (231) males, weight 80.5±11.5 kilograms, body mass index 26.8±3.2 kg/m2 and serum creatinine 1.3±0,4 mg/dl. 79.2% (209) of KT had delayed graft function. One-year graft survival was 90%. 27 grafts were lost in the first year, 67% of them (18) were non-primary function. Multivariable study is shown in the table.

Variable Univariate Multivariate
Donor > 50 years old 2.3 (1.1-5) P=0.02 2.4 (1.1-5.3) p=0.03
Body mass index > 30 kg/m2 2.2 (0.6-8.3) p=0.22 –
Cold ischemia time > 18 hours 2.7 (1.1-6.5) p=0.02 2.8 (1.2-6.7) p=0.02

Conclusion: Kidney transplantations from uDCD have a good 1-year survival. A good choice of the donor avoiding older donors and a reduction of cold isquemia time to prevent additional ischemic damage could improve the one year graft survival in this KT from DCDD programs.
