ObjectivesTo evaluate whether hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) of transplanted kidneys can improve long-term renal allograft function compared with static cold storage (CS).MethodsWe evaluated whether graft Doppler ultrasonography resistive indices improved with the use of HMP compared with CS preservation, and examined whether these improvements were predictive of long-term graft function. A total of 30 kidney transplants (15 pairs) were examined. One of the kidney pairs was placed on CS and transplanted first (CS group, n = 15). The other kidney of each pair was placed on HMP and transplanted after the CS group (HMP group, n = 15). Doppler ultrasonography was performed on days 1 and 7 after transplantation and resistive indices were evaluated. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was monitored for 24 months after transplantation.ResultsDespite longer cold ischaemia times, kidneys maintained with HMP had lower resistive indices (P = 0.005) with correspondingly higher eGFR throughout the follow-up. Subgroup analysis showed that the HMP-induced improvement in postoperative eGFR was greatest in kidneys obtained from donation after cardiac death (DCD), even at 2 years after transplantation (P = 0.008).ConclusionsHMP of transplant kidneys appears to improve vascular resistance after transplantation and has a positive impact on long-term allograft function compared with CS in the population of recipients of DCD kidneys.
