Kidney transplantation from small pediatric donors may be feasible to those who developed chronic refractory dialysis hypotension: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic refractory dialysis hypotension (CRDH) is a serious issue in dialysis patients waiting for transplants. It leads to fatal clinical outcomes and disqualification from kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation from pediatric donor to adult patient with lower blood pressure (BP) may be an option. No related study has been reported and we conducted this study to first evaluate the effect of pediatric donor kidney transplantation in CRDH recipients.

Methods

Ten single-kidney transplantations from small pediatric donors after cardiac death in our center between August 2016 and April 2018 were described. Half were CRDH recipients (group A) with intradialytic and interdialytic systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 100 mmHg. Each was paired with no-CRDH recipien
