• 1971 Storage of a Kidney Shipped to Holland Tx 37 Hr
• UW Solution 1987 – Clinical– 1979 UW CS– 1984 Gluconate UW PP
• Characteristics Past & Present– PO2 & PCO2 Controlled– Ph Controlled at 4ºC– Microfiltration– Pulsatile Pump– Solution Gluconate UW 1984
• SRTR 1994-2003– 98,736 Deceased Donor Kidneys
• Pump Preservative (PP) – Less ECD Discards p < 0.0001– Less DGF
• Group - With High Risk Factors for DGF
• Prolonged Ischemic Times– 10 % Overall Decrease in
Discards With PP = +1500 Transplants / 10 year
– Slight Improvement in Survival

AGING AND GFR
Figure 53-13 Percentiles of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance (CCr) by age, plotted on the same graph as data by Davies and Shock[124] on inulin clearance in healthy men. Percentiles are calculated using a fourth-order polynomial weighted quantile regression. The solid line shows a polynomial regression to the inulin data. Dashed lines without symbols show the 5th and 95th percentiles for GFR estimates.

THE AGING & EXTENDED CRITERIA DONOR KIDNEYS
• Decreased Renal Weight and Mass• Thickening Intra-Renal Vasculature
– Arteriolar Hyaline Thickening
• Glomerulosclerosis– Ischemia of Cortex
• Vascular Disease• Decreased Endothelial Growth Factors
– Numbers Decrease 30%-50% by Age 70
• Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis• Metabolic Derangements• Donation Process
Deceased Cardiac Donor (DCD)
• Profound Tissue Stresses – – Ischemia / Hypoxemia
• What Objective Measures Predict Transplant Outcomes In The Recipient??– Standardize Recording & Definitions of DCD Events– Understand The Tolerance Of Operative Procedures
Used In The Donation Process– Objective Measures ?
• Pump Preservation Characteristics– Simultaneously Limiting DGF & ? Improved Outcome

CONCLUSIONS
• Cold Storage vs Pump Preservation– OUTCOME / DEBATE GOES ON
• Pump Preservation– Provides Objective Data– Decreased DGF (Decreased LOS)– Decreased Discard Rates / Increases Transplants– Financially Friendly to the OPO– Financially Friendly to the Transplant Center– Advantageous to the RECIPIENT

Pumping and Outcomes of Deceased Donor Kidneys: Review of
Recent SRTR Analyses
Laura L. Christensen, M.S.Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients
Arbor Research Collaborative for HealthOctober 26, 2006
SRTRSRTR
Background
• OPTN Organ Availability Committee has long been interested in the benefits of pumping of kidneys
• SRTR has performed many analyses examining the relationship between pumping and:– Discard
– Delayed Graft Function (DGF)
– Graft Survival
SRTRSRTR
Ascertainment of Pumping Data
• Until recently, pumping of kidneys was only reported by the OPO
• Beginning July 1, 2004, transplant centers began to report pumping

Complications of Varying OPO Pumping Practice
• OPOs that never pump give us no information about pumping outcomes
• OPOs that pump selectively appear to mostly pump kidneys perceived as poor quality
• OPOs that pump most kidneys appear to not pump the poorest organs

Conclusions
• Pumping practice varies widely by OPO for each type of kidney (SCD, DCD, ECD)
• Varying practices introduce selection bias
• Associations between pumping and discard/DGF vary by kidney type and pumping practice
• Analyses at OPO and kidney levels are not always consistent
• A randomized controlled trial is needed to determine whether pumping provides beneficial effects
