Effect of perioperative management on early graft function in living donor paediatric kidney transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Paediatric kidney transplantation has an increased risk of surgical and vascular complications, with intensive care monitoring required postoperatively. This study aimed to determine if perioperative management affects early graft function in living donor paediatric kidney transplantation.

Methods

Clinical data was extracted from the electronic medical record for living donor kidney transplants at two paediatric centres covering the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia from 2009 to 2021. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 7 days and 1-month post-transplant were calculated as measures of early graft function.

Results

Thirty-nine eligible patients (female n (%) 13 (33%)) with a median (IQR) age of 6 (3-9) years and pre-transplant eGFR of 7 (6
