摘要

Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease and is limited by donor organ availability. Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) might facilitate safe transplantation of marginal organs. NKP1 is a single centre, phase 1, 36-patient, three-stage cohort study investigating the safety and feasibility of up to 24 hours of renal NMP prior to transplantation. 30-day graft survival (primary endpoint) was 100%. Secondary objectives were assessment of the effect of NMP on post-transplant clinical outcomes and ischaemia-reperfusion injury, identification of predictive biomarkers, and characterisation of the performance of the preservation system. Clinical outcomes were comparable to a matched control cohort with 12-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 46.3 vs 49.5 mL/min/1.73m2 (p = 0.44) despite much longer total preservation times (15.7 vs 8.9 hours controls, p < 0.0001). We saw strong correlations between biomarkers measured ex-situ and post-transplant outcomes, including graft function at one year (correlation between GST-Pi delta and 12-month eGFR, R = 0.54, p = 0.001). Renal NMP is useful for optimising logistics and as an organ assessment technique, and has potential to expand the donor pool. Trial registration number: ISRCTN13292277.
