Effect of the ratio of living related donor renal volume to recipient body surface area on early function of transplanted kidney / 器官移植

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between the ratio of living related donor renal volume (RV) to recipient body surface area (BSA) (RV/BSA) and early postoperative function of transplanted kidney. Methods Clinical data of 120 pairs of donors and recipients undergoing living related renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. According to the RV/BSA ratio, the recipients were divided into group A (RV/BSA<65.33 mL/m2), group B (RV/BSA 65.33~76.49 mL/m2), group C (RV/BSA 76.50~96.96 mL/m2) and group D (RV/BSA > 96.96 mL/m2). The postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of recipients was compared among 4 groups. The correlation between the RV/BSA and eGFR of recipients at postoperative 6 and 12 months was analyzed. Results The eGFR at postoperative 6 month in group A was significantly lower than that in groups B, C and D (t=2.313, 2.947, 5.903; all P<0.05). The eGFR at postoperative 12 month in group A was also significantly lower than that in groups B, C and D (t=2.189, 2.433, 2.909;all P<0.05). The RV/BSA was significantly correlated with the eGFR of recipients at postoperative 6 and 12 months (all P<0.05).Conclusions RV/BSA is intimately correlated with the early function of transplanted kidney after living related renal transplantation.
