| Abstract: |
We report the use of an autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) donor kidney in a paediatric recipient. A 14-year-old boy on haemodialysis for 4 years following loss of a first kidney transplant, highly sensitised, and with limited vascular options for ongoing dialysis access, was offered a deceased brain death donor transplant from a mid-30s donor with known ADPKD but normal kidney function and negligible proteinuria. After extensive discussion with the patient and family, discussing all alternative options and review of available literature, the kidney was accepted and implanted. Graft function was immediate. An early post-transplant creatinine rise was attributed to possible antibody-mediated rejection, treated with plasmapheresis and rituximab. Ten months post-transplant, the patient remains dialysis-free with stable function. Extended criteria kidneys are already considered for highly sensitised or long-waiting dialysis patients. Though the literature is limited, kidneys from patients with ADPKD could be considered within extended criteria offers on a case-by-case basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
