    Abstract Background: Predicting long-term mortality postkidney transplantation (KT) using baseline clinical data presents significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the predictive power of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled analysis of preoperative electrocardiograms (ECGs) in forecasting long-term mortality following KT.
    Methods: We analyzed preoperative ECGs from KT recipients at three Mayo Clinic sites (Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona) between January 1, 2006, and July 30, 2021. The study involved 6 validated AI algorithms, each trained to predict future development of atrial fibrillation, aortic stenosis, low ejection fraction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, amyloid heart disease, and biological age. These algorithms' outputs based on a single preoperative ECG were correlated with patient mortality data.
    Results: Among 6504 KT recipients included in the study, 1764 (27.1%) died within a median follow-up of 5.7 y (interquartile range: 3.00-9.29 y). All AI-ECG algorithms were independently associated with long-term all-cause mortality (P < 0.001). Notably, few patients had a clinical cardiac diagnosis at the time of transplant, indicating that AI-ECG scores were predictive even in asymptomatic patients. When adjusted for multiple clinical factors such as recipient age, diabetes, and pretransplant dialysis, AI algorithms for atrial fibrillation and aortic stenosis remained independently associated with long-term mortality. These algorithms also improved the C-statistic for predicting overall (C = 0.74) and cardiac-related deaths (C = 0.751).
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that AI-enabled preoperative ECG analysis can be a valuable tool in predicting long-term mortality following KT and could aid in identifying patients who may benefit from enhanced cardiac monitoring because of increased risk.

    Abstract Introduction: Expedited out-of-sequence deceased donor kidney allocation is a strategy to avoid discards after early placement attempts have been unsuccessful. Our study aimed to assess outcomes and characteristics of these transplanted kidneys.
    Methods: KDPI matching was performed between expedited allocation (EA) and standard allocation (SA) deceased donor kidney transplants performed at our center.
    Results: Between 2018 and 2021, there were 225 EA offers, and 189 (84%) were transplanted. EA recipients were older (p = .007) and had shorter dialysis vintage (p < .0001). EA kidneys were likely to be nationally allocated (p < .001), have AKI (p < .0001) and longer CIT (p < .0001). There were no differences in EA and SA time-zero kidney biopsies (ci, p = .07; ct, p = .89; cv, p = .95; ah, p = .79). EA kidneys had more DGF (p = .0006), but there were no differences in DGF duration (p = .83), hospital length of stay (p = .43), 1- and 2-year eGFR (p = .16, p = .99), patient (p = .34), or death-censored graft (p = .66) survival.
    Conclusion: During this study period, our center transplanted 189 kidneys through EA following local-regional declines. These kidneys often came from AKI donors and had more DGF but had similar outcomes to KDPI-matched SA kidneys. Although it has been suggested that EA has the potential to worsen transplant disparities, transplant center level decisions on organ acceptance contribute to these variations.

    Abstract Here we discuss the successful utilization of a pair of deceased donor kidneys with bile-cast nephropathy. The donor had a kidney donor profile index of 48% and an acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy. Peak donor bilirubin was 40.5 mg/dL, and renal wedge biopsies showed bile-cast nephropathy. Both recipients had delayed graft function lasting up to 4 weeks. The 4-month biopsies showed mild interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and a resolution of bile casts. These kidney allografts showed the reversible course of cholemic nephropathy and the potential for increasing the utilization of previously discarded kidneys.

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease is common in patients with multiple myeloma. Historically, individuals with end-stage renal disease and multiple myeloma did poorly with renal transplantation due to higher mortality rates from the malignancy itself or associated comorbidities. However, over the past 2 decades, there have been significant advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma with the advent of new therapeutic agents resulting in an improvement of long-term survival. As a result, more individuals with multiple myeloma are being referred for kidney transplantation, especially those with good functional capacity and minimal comorbidities. Recent literature has suggested that certain patients with multiple myeloma can successfully undergo renal transplantation after stem transplantation with consideration for maintenance therapy, although caution should be used with immunomodulating drugs due to the anecdotally reported risk of acute rejection. Therefore, having a multidisciplinary approach with the transplant team and hematology both before and after transplant is crucial in maximizing the chance of success for these individuals. This review summarizes the literature on renal transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma as well as the therapeutic advancements that have occurred which may allow certain patients to undergo successful transplantation.

    Abstract Background: Kidneys from very young pediatric donors continue to be underutilized. To reduce discard, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) policy was recently updated to allow kidneys from donors weighing <18 kg to be recovered en bloc.
    Methods: We reviewed our center's experience with kidney transplantation in adult recipients of <18 kg pediatric donor kidneys to assess renal function outcomes specific to solitary vs en bloc usage.
    Results: The majority of <18 kg donors were used en bloc (n = 39, 72.2% vs n = 15, 27.8%). Donor weight (kg) was similar between the 2 groups (12.3 ± 3.2 vs 14.1 ± 2.5, P = .05). Recipient weight was lower in the solitary kidney group (P = .01). Both groups had a similar donor-to-recipient body weight ratio (0.24 ± 0.3 vs 0.18 ± 0.3, P = .51). The solitary kidney group had a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at 1 (56.9 ± 24.3 vs 81.8 ± 24.8, P = .01) and 2 years (72 ± 18.6 vs 93.7 ± 21.6, P = .03). By 2 years, both groups had an average estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min. Kidney allograft growth occurred in both groups, with the largest increase occurring the first month posttransplant (11.9%, 18.6%, P < .0001).
    Conclusion: For pediatric donors weighing <18 kg, improvements in renal function continue beyond the first posttransplant year. Risk for hyperfiltration injury appears low and renal mass-recipient mass matching is useful in guiding decision-making for solitary vs en bloc utilization.

    Abstract Background: The objective is to assess cardiovascular (CV), malignancy, infectious, graft outcomes and tacrolimus levels for the Indigenous patients compared to Whites after kidney transplant (KTx).
    Methods: 165 Indigenous and 165 White patients matched for the KTx year at Mayo Clinic Arizona from 2007-2015 were studied over a median follow-up of 3 years. Propensity score was calculated to account for baseline differences.
    Results: Compared to Whites, Indigenous patients had the following characteristics: younger age, more obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and required dialysis prior to KTx (p<0.01). Indigenous patients had longer hospital stay for KTx, shorter follow-up and lived further from the transplant center (p<0.05). 210 (63.6%) received deceased donor KTx and more Whites received a living donor KTx compared to Indigenous patients (55.2% vs 17.6%, p<0.0001). Post-KTx, there was no difference in the CV event rates. The cumulative incidence of infectious complications was higher among the Indigenous patients (HR 1.81, p = 0.0005, 48.5% vs 38.2%, p = 0.013), with urinary causes as the most common. Malignancy rates were increased among Whites (13.3% vs 3.0%, p = 0.001) with skin cancer being the most common. There was a significant increase in the dose normalized tacrolimus level for the Indigenous patients compared to Whites at 1 months, 3 months, and 1 year post-KTx. After adjustment for the propensity score, there was no statistical difference in infectious or graft outcomes between the two groups but the mean number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations after KTx was significantly higher for Whites compared to Indigenous patients.
    Conclusions: Compared to Whites, Indigenous patients have similar CV events, graft outcomes and infectious complications after accounting for baseline differences.

    Abstract There is a lower incidence of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) than after kidney-only transplantation. It has been suggested that soluble human leukocyte antigen (sHLA) produced by the liver protects the kidney from AMR. However, this hypothesis has not been tested after SLKT. We present a case of SLKT with 2 donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) (DR53, 12,364 mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]; DQ7, 1253 MFI) that displayed a decrease by day 7 (DR53, 2747 MFI; DQ7, 107 MFI). On day 351, the patient was diagnosed with kidney AMR associated with high levels of DSA (DR53, 18,542 MFI; DQ7, 22,007 MFI) that persisted until day 531. High levels of sHLA-DR/DQ and HLA-DR/DQ-containing exosomes were also detected on day 398. Consequently, the patient underwent treatment with plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin, prednisone, and rituximab. On day 752, biopsy results were negative for AMR. Moderate levels of DSA (DR53, 9798 MFI; DQ7, 1271 MFI), and baseline levels of sHLA-DR/DQ and HLA-DR/DQ-containing exosomes were observed. Increases in CD4

    Abstract Dual kidney transplantation (DKT), utilizing two adult kidneys from the same donor for one recipient, has been used as a way to expand the available donor pool. These kidneys often come from high Kidney Donor Profile Index donors (KDPI > 85%). Data comparing outcomes between high KDPI DKT and single kidney transplants (SKT) remain limited. We assessed outcomes of 336 high KDPI kidney transplants performed at our center; 11.0% (n = 37) were DKT. Recipients of DKT were older (P = .02) and donors had a higher KDPI score (median 96% vs. 91%, P < .0001). DKT operative time was higher compared to SKT (+1.4 hours, P < .0001). There were no differences in delayed graft function (54.1% vs. 51.5%, P = .77) and hospital length of stay (median 4.0 vs. 3.0 days, P = .21) between DKT and SKT. Grade I Clavien-Dindo complications occurred in 8.1% of DKT and 13.7% of SKT (P = .008). There were no grade IVa, IVb, or V complications in either group. DKT had more glomerulosclerosis (P = .04), interstitial fibrosis (P = .02), tubular atrophy (P = .01), and arterial thickening (P = .03) on 1-year protocol biopsies. Estimated glomerular filtration was higher for DKT at 1- (P = .004) and 2-years post-transplant (P = .01). There were no differences in patient (HR 1.3, 95% CI .5-3.3, P = .58) or graft (HR 1.1, 95% CI .5-2.3, P = .83) survival. Good outcomes can be achieved with DKT using high KDPI kidneys with moderate chronic changes. DKT is a good option to help further utilize high KDPI kidneys and minimize discard.

    Abstract Introduction: Women with advanced kidney disease are advised to wait until after transplant to pursue pregnancy, but the impact of pregnancy on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and kidney histology is unclear.
    Methods: We identified a cohort of women aged 18 to 44 years at transplant from 1996 to 2014 at our 3-site program (
    Results: There were 37 women with one or more pregnancies lasting longer than 20 weeks gestation post-transplant. Comparing women with and without pregnancy post-transplant, there was a significant increase in the rate of eGFR decline after pregnancy (-2.4 ml/min per 1.73 m
    Conclusion: Pregnancy affects the rate of eGFR decline in the allograft. Postpregnancy biopsy findings revealed an increase in vascular injury, which could be a potential mechanism. We did not find a significant increase in risk of graft failure or reduction in eGFR by 50% owing to pregnancy.

    Abstract Kidney paired donation (KPD) and the new kidney allocation system (KAS) in the United States have led to improved transplantation rates for highly sensitized candidates. We aimed to assess the potential need for other approaches to improve the transplantation rate of highly sensitized candidates such as desensitization. Using the UNOS STAR file, we analyzed transplant rates in a prevalent active waiting-list cohort as of June 1, 2016, followed for 1 year. The overall transplantation rate was 18.9% (11 129/58769). However, only 9.7% (213/2204) of candidates with a calculated panel reactive antibody ≥99.9% received a transplant, and highly sensitized candidates were less likely to receive a living donor transplant. Among candidates with a CPRA ≥ 99.5% (ie. 100%), only 2.5% of transplants were from living donors (13 total, 7 from KPD). Nearly 4 years after KAS (6/30/2018), 1791 actively wait-listed candidates had a CPRA of ≥99.9% and 34.6% (620/1791) of these had ≥5 years of waiting time. Thus, despite KPD and KAS, many sensitized candidates have not been transplanted even with prolonged waiting time. We conclude that candidates with a CPRA ≥ 99.9% and sensitized candidates with an incompatible living donor and prolonged waiting time may benefit from desensitization to improve their ability to receive a transplant.
