Background

Transplanting kidneys from donors with AKI is one of the methods to minimize the disparity between numbers of listed patient and donor pool. Our aim is to determine the influence of AKIN classification of donors on outcomes following DDKTx.

Methods

We included all DDKTx transplanted at our center between January 2008 and February 2015. Using data from DonorNet, we classified all donors using the AKIN Staging (0-3). The primary outcome was graft survival at 1, 3 and 5 years post-transplant. The secondary outcome was delayed graft function (DGF), defined as requirement of dialysis or failure of creatinine drop more than 30% within 3 days of transplant. Survival analysis between groups were done using the Kaplan-Meier method. Continuous data shown as mean ±SD.

Results

The AKIN stage could be determined for 804 of 815 who received DDKTx during the study period. The risk of DGF progressively increased with increasing AKIN stage. Graft survival at 1, 3 and 5 years stratified by the AKIN stage was not different between the groups (p=0.19).

  1 year 3 year 5 year
AKIN 0 (n=169) 93.5% 84.3% 77.8%
AKIN 1 (n=298) 94.6% 86.4% 78.0%
AKIN 2 (n=138) 95.5% 87.7% 82.1%
AKIN 3 (n=199) 96.5% 93.6% 81.3%

The mean donor age (±SD) for the four groups were 37.2±21 ,44.8±17.6, 41.2±16.1 and 35±14.6 years respectively (p<0.0001) and KDPI (±SD) were 42±28, 56±28, 52±27 and 49±24 respectively (p=0.017). There were no differences in rejection rate during the first year, BK infection, serum creatinine or eGFR(CKD EPI) at 1 year between the groups.

Conclusion

Our results shows that donor AKIN staging is strongly correlated with the risk of DGF, however increasing donor AKIN stage does not adversely effect graft survival.
