BACKGROUND: The shortage of organs is a major hurdle in kidney transplantation, and one solution to the problem is to extend the age of the donor. However, organs from older donors are often discarded due to the macroscopic appearance of the parenchyma or major vessels. On the other hand, a large number of elderly patients are potential candidates for kidney transplantation, while many kidneys from elderly deceased donors are discarded due to a lack of age-matched recipients. In addition, a large number are often discarded due to the lack of compatible recipients among elderly patients undergoing chronic dialysis...

AIM: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a prognostic score for 6-month mortality in elderly patients starting dialysis for end-stage renal disease. METHODS: Using data from the French Rein registry, we developed a prognostic score in a training sample of 2500 patients aged 75 years or older who started dialysis between 2002 and 2006, which we validated in a similar sample of 1642 patients. Multivariate logistic regression with 500 bootstrap samples allowed us to select risk factors from 19 demographic and baseline clinical variables...

A. Because renal transplantation can extend the duration and quality of life in elderly patients (age 60-70 years) with end-stage renal disease, transplantation should be considered in all patients, particularly if special programmes and preparations are applied. B. In elderly kidney transplant recipients, immunosuppression has to be adapted to avoid both rejections and adverse effects. C. Accurate diagnosis and aggressive treatment of cardiovascular disease in elderly recipients are recommended because of the high number of deaths with functioning grafts...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recent outcome data, ongoing organ shortage and proposed changes in allocation policies are driving the need to review current practices and possible future course of kidney transplantation in the elderly patients. RECENT FINDINGS: A proposed new kidney allocation system based on matching donor and recipient characteristics to enable 'age-matched' kidney allocation is currently being discussed in the USA. While this system benefits younger recipients, implications for elderly recipients receiving older grafts remain a matter of debate...

The Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) allocates kidneys from elderly donors to elderly recipients (> or = 65 years old). During the last 39 years, 922 kidney transplantations were performed in our transplant center. We retrospectively analysed patients included in the ESP from the our center. Eleven patients > or = 65 years old recieved kidney from donors 65 years old. Cold ischemia time was approximately 15 hours. Dual kidney transplantation was performed in one patient. Appropriate immunosuppressive protocol was given to all patients...

There is an increase in the older incident end-stage renal disease population that is associated with an increasing prevalence of end-stage renal disease in the United States. This trend is paralleled by an increasing rate of kidney transplantation in the elderly. Although patient survival is lower in older versus younger kidney recipients, the elderly benefit from a reduction in mortality rate and improved quality of life with transplantation compared with dialysis. Immunologic, physiologic, and psychosocial factors influence transplant outcomes and should be recognized in the care of the elderly transplant patient...

Acceptance of elderly living kidney donors remains controversial due to the higher incidence of comorbidity and greater risk of postoperative complications. This is a review of publications in the English language between 2000 and 2013 about renal transplantation from elderly living donors to determine trends and effects of donation, and the outcomes of such transplantation. The last decade witnessed a 50% increase in living kidney donor transplants, with a disproportionate increase in donors >60 years. There is no accelerated loss of kidney function following donation, and the incidence of established renal failure (ERF) and hypertension among donors is similar to that of the general population...

Transplantation offers superior life expectancy and quality of life compared with dialysis in young patients with end-stage renal failure. However, the initial risks of mortality and morbidity are high. This study used a decision analysis model to evaluate the costs and benefits of kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis for older patients with renal failure. A decision analytic model comparing cadaveric renal transplantation to continued hemodialysis treatment was developed. The base case considered a theoretical cohort of patients aged 65 yr without known comorbidity or contraindications to transplantation who would have to wait 2 yr for a cadaveric transplant...

BACKGROUND: Elderly patients are the fastest growing population requiring renal replacement therapy. With increasing scarcity of organs, old patients are likely to remain in dialysis. We have had an active transplant program with elderly patients (i.e. > or = 70 years) and present results from our experiences. METHODS: From 1990 throughout 2005, we performed 301 first kidney transplantations in elderly patients. Data were compared with 513 senior patients aged 60-69 years and 512 control patients, aged 45-54 years, transplanted during the same time period...

BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) suffer from a high symptom burden. However, there is significant heterogeneity within the HD population; certain subgroups, such as the elderly, may experience disproportionate symptom burden. OBJECTIVES: The study's objective was to propose a category of HD patients at elevated risk for symptom burden (those patients who are not transplant candidates) and to compare symptomatology among transplant ineligible versus eligible HD patients...

REVIEW
Paul L Tso
The benefits of renal transplantation have been demonstrated to extend to the elderly. As a result, more seniors have been placed on the kidney transplant wait list and have received renal allografts in recent years. In June 2013 significant amendments to deceased donor kidney allocation policy were approved to be instituted in 2014 with the goal of increasing overall life years and graft years achieved compared to the current system. Going forward, it is conceivable that transplant centers may perceive a need to adjust practice patterns and modify evaluation and listing criteria for the elderly as the proportion of kidneys distributed to this segment of the wait list would potentially decrease under the new system, further increasing wait times...

Renal transplantation faces challenges: the organ shortage resulting in extended waiting times and an aging population resulting in death with a functioning graft. The Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) allocates kidneys within a narrow geographic area from donors aged >/=65 years to recipients >/=65 years regardless of HLA. This analysis investigates the impact of the ESP on waiting time, graft and patient survival. The ESP group (n = 1406, old to old) was compared to two groups allocated via the Eurotransplant Kidney Allocation System (ETKAS) with either similar donor age (old to any [O/A], donor age >/=65, n = 446) or recipient age (any to old, [A/O], recipient age 60-64, n = 1687)...

Although acceptable outcomes have been reported in both non-heart-beating (NHB) and elderly donors individually, the large pool of elderly NHB donors has not yet been fully utilized. In 1994, we expanded our transplant protocol to include NHB donors aged over 65 years and this study compares the clinical outcomes with regular NHB transplantations. Up to June 2005, 24 patients were transplanted at our center with kidneys from NHB donors aged 65 years or more, whereas 176 patients received grafts from conventional NHB donors during the same period...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Few elderly ESRD patients are ever wait-listed for deceased-donor transplantation (DDTX), and waiting list outcomes may not reflect access to transplantation in this group. Our objective was to determine longitudinal changes in access to transplantation among all elderly patients with ESRD, not just those wait-listed for DDTX. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Using data from the US Renal Data System, we determined changes in the adjusted likelihood of transplantation from any donor source as an indicator of access to transplantation among all incident ESRD patients aged 60 to 75 years between 1995 and 2006...

BACKGROUND: The shortage of organ donors has led to the introduction of the Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) to optimize the allocation of kidneys from elderly donors by age-matching. In the face of a rapidly aging population, identification of prognostic factors for kidney allograft survival within the ESP population will be of enormous significance.

Practices for enrollment on kidney transplantation waiting lists are variable between geographical areas and centers. Early referral of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) to a nephrologist, particularly one practicing in a transplantation center, is a prerequisite to early enrollment. Despite improved survival in elderly transplant recipients, being aged over 65 years is still a barrier against enrollment. Furthermore certain comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus are often wrongly considered as contraindications for transplantation...
