The Small RNA Repertoire of Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated From Donor Kidney Preservation Fluid Provides a Source for Biomarker Discovery for Organ Quality and Posttransplantation Graft Function Background. Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is negatively associated with long-term graft function and survival. Kidney function after transplantation depends on multiple factors, both donor- and recipient-associated. Prediction of posttransplantation graft function would allow timely intervention to optimize patient care and survival. Currently, graft-based predictions can be made based on histological and molecular analyses of 0-hour biopsy samples. However, such analyses are currently not implemented, as biopsy samples represent only a very small portion of the entire graft and are not routinely analyzed in all transplantation centers. Alternatives are thus required. Methods. We analyzed whether donor organ preservation fluid contain small extracellular vesicles (sEV) and whether the RNA content of these vesicles could be used as a source for potential biomarkers for posttransplantation kidney function. Results. We provide proof of principle that sEVs are present in preservation fluid, which contain RNAs associated with donor origin. Furthermore, sEV micro RNA profiles could be associated with graft function during the first 7 days posttransplantation, but no significant correlation with DGF could be established based on the current dataset. Conclusions. Overall, the predictive potential of sEV RNA biomarkers together with relatively easy and noninvasive sample collection and analysis methods could pave the way towards universal screening of donor kidney-associated risk for DGF, optimized patient treatment, and subsequently improved short- and long-term graft function and survival.

Very Late Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Presentation and Management No abstract available |
Staged Biliary Reconstruction After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Practical Surgical Strategy for High-Acuity Adult Recipients Background. Biliary complications (BC) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is strongly associated with inferior patient outcomes and increased healthcare cost. BC in high-acuity patients can be lethal. While the utility of staged biliary reconstruction after liver transplantation (SBRALT) has been reported in adult and pediatric OLT, biliary outcome data are scarce. We sought to evaluate the clinical utility and outcomes of SBRALT in high-acuity transplant recipients. Methods. We conducted an analysis from our prospective database of 149 adult OLT between January 1, 2012, and September 30, 2017. Mean follow-up was 26 months. Variables were compared for Group I: one-stage OLT with biliary reconstruction (N = 58) versus Group II: SBRALT (N = 91). Results. Compared with Group I, patients in Group II had higher acuity of illness: median model for end-stage liver disease scores (19 vs 35 P = 0.002), requirement for pretransplant intensive care unit (29.3% vs 54.9%, P = 0.022), pretransplant renal replacement therapy (15.5% vs 48.4%), estimated blood loss (2000 vs 4750 mL, P < 0.001), and intraoperative packed red blood cells transfusion (4 vs 10 units, P < 0.001). For Group II, biliary reconstruction was performed between 1 and 6 days after OLT. Hepaticojejunostomy was performed in 8.6% (Group I) and 26.4% (Group II), P = 0.010. For Groups I and II, BC rates (8.6% vs 7.7%, P = 0.955) and 1-year graft failure-free survival rates (89.7% vs 88.2%, P = 0.845) were comparable. Conclusions. Graft failure-free survival and biliary outcomes of SBRALT in high-acuity recipients are excellent and comparable to one-stage OLT for low-risk patients. SBRALT is a practical surgical strategy in complex OLT. Received 3 June 2019. Revision received 23 June 2019. Accepted 24 June 2019. Published online 8 August, 2019.

Circulating B Cells With Memory and Antibody-Secreting Phenotypes Are Detectable in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients Before the Development of Antibody-Mediated Rejection Background. Development of anti–human leukocyte antigen donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and reduced allograft survival in kidney transplant recipients. Whether changes in circulating lymphocytes anticipate DSA or AMR development is unclear. Methods. We used time-of-flight mass cytometry to analyze prospectively collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from pediatric kidney transplant recipients who developed DSA (DSA-positive recipients [DSAPOS], n = 10). PBMC were obtained at 2 months posttransplant, 3 months before DSA development, and at DSA detection. PBMC collected at the same time points posttransplant from recipients who did not develop DSA (DSA-negative recipients [DSANEG], n = 11) were used as controls. Results. DSAPOS and DSANEG recipients had similar baseline characteristics and comparable frequencies of total B and T cells. Within DSAPOS recipients, there was no difference in DSA levels (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]: 13 687 ± 4159 vs 11 375 ± 1894 in DSAPOSAMR-positive recipients (AMRPOS) vs DSAPOSAMR-negative recipients (AMRNEG), respectively; P = 0.630), C1q binding (5 DSAPOSAMRPOS [100%] vs 4 DSAPOSAMRNEG [80%]; P = 1.000), or C3d binding (3 DSAPOSAMRPOS [60%] vs 1 DSAPOSAMRNEG [20%]; P = 0.520) between patients who developed AMR and those who did not. However, DSAPOS patients who developed AMR (n = 5; 18.0 ± 3.6 mo post-DSA detection) had increased B cells with antibody-secreting (IgD−CD27+CD38+; P = 0.002) and memory (IgD-CD27+CD38−; P = 0.003) phenotypes compared with DSANEG and DSAPOSAMRNEG recipients at DSA detection. Conclusions. Despite the small sample size, our comprehensive phenotypic analyses show that circulating B cells with memory and antibody-secreting phenotypes are present at DSA onset, >1 year before biopsy-proven AMR in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

Renal Outcomes of Liver Transplantation Recipients Receiving Standard Immunosuppression and Early Renal Sparing Immunosuppression: A Retrospective Single Center Study Background. New-onset stage 4–5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) after liver transplantation (LT) is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. In 2010, we instituted an early renal sparing immunosuppression (RSI) protocol for LT recipients with severe renal dysfunction (pre-LT dialysis/estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<30mL/min/1.73 m2 or post-LT acute kidney injury) consisting of 2 doses of basiliximab for induction and delaying tacrolimus to post-LT day 4–7. We examined the effect of early RSI on post-LT renal outcomes. Methods. Data on all adults who had LT between January 1, 2010, and December 12, 2014 were collected. We calculated the renal risk index (RRI) score for each LT recipient (https://rri.med.umich.edu). Primary outcome was new-onset post-LT stage 4–5 CKD. Results. Of 214 LT recipients, 121 (57%) received early RSI and 93 (43%) received standard immunosuppression. Cumulative incidence of new-onset stage 4–5 CKD was higher in early RSI compared with standard immunosuppression (P = 0.03). Female sex and RRI score were the significant risk factors for development of post-LT stage CKD in the entire study cohort as well as the LT recipients with RRI ≥ sixth decile (high-risk group). Conclusions. Delaying tacrolimus initiation combined with basiliximab induction did not have a durable effect on long-term renal outcomes in high-risk LT recipients. Further studies are needed to identify the effective strategies to preserve renal function by targeting patients at high risk for CKD progression. Received 3 May 2019. Revision received 24 May 2019.
