Kidney transplantation in low weight pediatric recipients from adult donors: The short‐ and the long‐term outcomes
Pediatric Transplantation Oct 11, 2020
Raza S, Alahmadi I, Broering D, et al. - The outcomes of low weight patients who received kidneys from adult donors through extraperitoneal approach were determined via assessing 213 patients who underwent KT procedures performed through extraperitoneal approach from January 2011 to June 2017. Recipients were of mean age 10 years [5 years and 12 years for LWC (weight < 15 kg) and HWC (weight ≥ 15 kg), respectively] and donors were of mean age 32 years. For recipients, mean weight was 26 kg (13 kg and 31 kg for LWC and HWC, respectively) and for donors, it was 70 kg. Outcomes overall suggest the feasibility of performing transplantation in low weight pediatric patients from adult donors with low surgical complications and with favorable patient and graft survival. In addition, they indicate extraperitoneal approach as feasible and safe in low weight recipients.
