Spousal renal donor transplantation in Chinese subjects: a 10 year experience from a single centre.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The shortage of cadaveric kidneys for renal transplantation is a particularly problematic situation in the locality of Hong Kong. Kidneys from spousal donors are therefore increasingly being used for transplantation. This study was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of spousal donor transplant recipients in comparison with that of genetically related living donor (LRD) allograft recipients. METHODS From 1988, we have transplanted 22 spousal kidney recipients (group 1). All donors must demonstrate a genuine spousal relationship. Their outcome was compared with that of 24 LRD allograft recipients (group 2) transplanted in the same period with similar demographics, pre-transplant dialysis duration, immunosuppressive protocol and length of post-transplant follow-up. RESULTS The mean (+/-SD) age was 36.5 +/- 8 and 32.5 +/- 6 years for groups 1 and 2, who were followed for 56.6 +/- 35 and 59.1 +/- 38 months, respectively. There was no difference in the incidence of delayed graft function, acute rejection and serum creatinine level at 5 years. Graft survival rates were 86.4 and 79.2% (P = 0.56), while patient survival rates were 100 and 91.7% (P = 0.171) at 5 years for groups 1 and 2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Spousal kidney transplantation shares comparable results with LRD transplantation and should be encouraged in places where cadaveric organs remain scarce. Stringent measures must be implemented to prevent the possible emergence of kidney bartering and to protect the interests of living donors. The ethical and social issues regarding the spousal donor in Hong Kong and other countries are discussed.

متن کاملUSING THE INFERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY FOR THE THIRD RENAL RE-TRANSPLANTATION: A CASE REPORT
A 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. This procedure was performed in December 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. The first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. End-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimpl...
متن کاملMicrochimerism and Renal Transplantation: Doubt Still Persists
Background: The Presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. Objective: To study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...
متن کاملComparison of clinical outcomes between ABO-compatible and ABO-incompatible spousal donor kidney transplantation
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation (KT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease patients. The spouse is a major donor in living KT. Clinical outcomes of spousal donor KT are not inferior to those of living related donor KT. In this study, we compared clinical outcomes between ABO-compatible (ABOc) and ABO-incompatible (ABOi) spousal donor KTs. METHODS Thirty-two cases of spousal...
