Purpose: Delayed graft function is a major complication after kidney transplantation affecting patients’ long-term outcome. The aim of this study was to identify modifiable risk factors for delayed graft function after deceased donor kidney transplantation. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of a university transplantation center. Univariate and multivariate step-wise logistic regression analysis of patient-specific and procedural risk factors were conducted. Results: We analyzed 380 deceased donor kidney transplantation patients between October 30, 2008 and December 30, 2017. The incidence of delayed graft function was 15% (58/380). Among the patient-specific risk factors recipient diabetes (2.8 [1.4-5.9] odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval [CI]]), American Society of Anesthesiologist score of 4 (2.7 [1.2-6.5] OR [95% CI]), cold ischemic time >13 hours (2.8 [1.5-5.3] OR [95% CI]) and donor age >55 years (1.9 [1.01-3.6] OR [95% CI]) revealed significance. The significant intraoperative, procedural risk factors included the use of colloids (3.9 [1.4-11.3] OR [95% CI]), albumin (3.0 [1.2-7.5] OR [95% CI]), crystalloids >3000 mL (3.1 [1.2-7.5] OR [95% CI]) and mean arterial pressure <80 mm Hg at the time of reperfusion (2.4 [1.2-4.8] OR [95% CI]). Conclusion: Patients undergoing deceased donor kidney transplantation with a mean arterial pressure >80 mm Hg at the time of transplant reperfusion without requiring excessive fluid therapy in terms of colloids, albumin or crystalloids >3000 mL are less likely to develop delayed graft function.

Abstract Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a frequent complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation with an impact on the prognosis of the transplant. Despite this, long-term impact of DGF on graft function after deceased donor kidney transplantation has not been properly evaluated. Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors for DGF and the impact of its occurrence and length on graft survival and function. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in 517 kidney transplant recipients who received a deceased donor organ between January 2008 and December 2013. Results: The incidence of DGF was 69.3% and it was independently associated with donor's final serum creatinine and age, cold ischemia time, use of antibody induction therapy and recipient's diabetes mellitus. The occurrence of DGF was also associated with a higher incidence of Banff ≥ 1A grade acute rejection (P = 0.017), lower graft function up to six years after transplantation and lower death-censored graft survival at 1 and 5 years (P < 0.05). DGF period longer than 14 days was associated with higher incidence of death-censored graft loss (P = 0.038) and poorer graft function (P < 0.001). No differences were found in patient survival. Conclusions: The occurrence of DGF has a long-lasting detrimental impact on graft function and survival and this impact is even more pronounced when DGF lasts longer than two weeks.
