Renal Transplantation Flashcards
Adv of transplant
No need for dialysis
Imrpoved hemodynamics
Morbidity of ESRD is lifted
Independnece
Disadv of transplant
Surgical risk
Immunosuppression risk
Donor operation
Isolate celiac-foregut, SMA - midgut, and IMA-hindgut arteries
Drain mesenteric veins through liver and systemic veins through cava
Preservation solution
Remove blood,
Cooling
Replace ECF with fluid similar to IC fluid
Low freezing point
Pulsatile perfusion
Control flow, measure resistance and pressure
V=IR or I=V/R
Brain death releases cytokine storm
Kidney has increased reisstant due to nvasosspasm from brain death, cold, and vasc dz
Pump will dilate physiologic lesions (vasospasm) and not affect fixed lesions (vasc dz)
Recipients
EPTS - age, time, diabetes, previous transplant?
DOnors
KDPI
Sensitive
Panel reactive Ab
Higher result means more likely to have positive XM so no Txp
Increased priority balances that
Diabetes
Most common cause of trnapslant
Diabetic glomeruloneprhitis
CAN recur after trnasplant
HTN
Most common diagnosis
YES - can recur in trnapslant bc while HTN caused by kidney can also damage kidne y
POlycystic kidney dz
CANNOT recur after trnapslant
Various penetrance but most proress to ESRD
FSGS
INcludes IGA neprhopathy, vasculidities
Injury to podocyte by circulating factor
CAN recur
Obstructive
Post renal causes
Children - posteriro urethral valve
Elderly- BPH
CANNOT recur if you do job right
Goodpastures
Anti-GBM to collagne 4…constellation of RPGN and pulmonary hemorrhage
CAN reucr
Alport’s
XL dz of collagen 4 with deafness and lens abnormailities…affects BM
CANNOT recur…except might develop ant-GBM to wild type collagne type 4
