Time-Zero Renal Biopsy in Living Kidney Transplantation: A Valuable Opportunity to Correlate Predonation Clinical Data With Histological Abnormalities

Abstract: A significant correlation was established between T0-RBx findings and clinical predonation parameters. Whether these mild histologic findings at the time of kidney donation represent a higher risk for the remaining kidney ought to be evaluated during follow-up. In an era, when living kidney donation is increasing, we advise closer donor surveillance to modify risk factors that participate in kidney damage progression.

“…Although these studies measured the extent of IF in the cortex at several time points after transplantation, they did not report quantitative measurements of IF in donor kidney at the cold preservation time immediately before transplantation (0 hr or time-zero biopsy). Mancilla et al (8) reported that there were significant correlations between time-zero biopsy and clinical predonation parameters such as the age and serum creatinine (SCr) level of donors before transplantation. Percent IF (%IF), as a measure of the allograft cortical area affected by IF, at 0 hr may influence %IF at 1 month and 1 year posttransplantation.…”

“…Although these studies are reassuring, there are two recent reports of increased preeclampsia in female living donors when adjusting for maternal age and parity (10,11). Furthermore, it has come to light that up to 50% of donor renal biopsies are not completely normal, with the most common findings being interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, increased mesangial matrix, arteriolar hyalinosis, and glomerulosclerosis (12).…”
