Abstract
Although diabetes is not an absolute contraindication for kidney donation, donor kidneys with severe diabetic nephropathy (DN) are frequently discarded. Current experience with the use of donor kidneys with severe DN is limited. Herein, we report a case of deceased donor kidney with Renal Pathology Society (RPS) classification scheme class III DN transplanted to a female recipient without postoperative hyperglycemia. Although kidney allograft biopsy still showed class III DN at 6 months, it turned to RPS class IIa DN combined with chronic antibody-mediated rejection at 4.5 years and 9 years. At the last follow-up approximately 10 years after transplantation, the patient's serum creatinine was 2.27 mg/dL. Our case indicates that with careful selection of potential recipients, favorable clinical outcomes can be achieved even with donor kidneys with severe DN. Thus, RPS class III diabetic donor kidneys deserve further evaluation and should not always be discarded.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
