Renal Transplantation Using Stone-bearing Deceased Donor Kidneys-Experience of a Transplant Center in China.

Urology 2017 September
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of transplantation of deceased donor stone-bearing kidneys.

METHODS: A total of 32 patients who received renal transplantation at our center from July 2011 to June 2016 were included. Eight recipients received kidneys with incidental renal stone(s) (stone group). Twenty-four recipients received kidneys without renal stones (non-stone group). The transplantation outcomes of the 2 groups were compared.

RESULTS: There was 1 case of postoperative urinary tract infection in the stone group, and 2 cases in the non-stone group. No ureteral obstruction or hydronephrosis occurred in either group. No significant difference was found in the incidence of complications, serum creatinine level, and estimated glomerular filtration rate between the groups (all, P >.05). No deaths occurred in either group during the follow-up period. One recipient had postoperative calculi recurrence, and 4 recipients had residual calculi before transplantation. However, these patients had no symptomatic nephrolithiasis or obstruction, and their renal functions were normal.

CONCLUSION: Transplantation of deceased donor stone-bearing kidneys can achieve comparable outcomes of deceased donor non-stone-bearing kidneys.
