Kidney Transplantation Clinical Trial
— EPI-STORMOfficial title:
EPI-STORM Cytokine Storm in Organ Donors: A Translational Study Linking Donor Epigenetic to Transplantation Success in Recipient
Kidney and liver transplantation are the treatment of choice and are often the last therapeutic option offered to patients with chronic renal and liver failure. More than 70% of kidneys and liver available for transplantation are obtained from donors following neurological death. Unfortunately, compared to living donation, transplant function, graft survival, and recipient survival are consistently inferior with kidneys and liver from neurologically deceased donors. This difference lies with the exacerbated pro-inflammatory state characteristic of deceased donors. Indeed, when neurologic death occurs, the immune system releases substances in the blood that could harm organs and particularly the liver and the kidneys. We believe that achieving a better understanding of the inflammatory processes of organ donors could be greatly informative to design future randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of personalized immunosuppressive therapy on organ donors to ultimately improve the care provided to donors so as to increase the number of organs available for transplantation and enhancing the survival of received grafts

Secondary | Liver early graft dysfunction | Presence of one of the following three criteria: (i) peak AST or ALT > 2000 U/L during the first 7 days, (ii) bilirubin = 10 mg/dL on day 7 postoperatively, or (iii) INR = 1.6 on day 7 postoperatively | 7-days post-transplantation | |
Secondary | Quantification of circulatory cytokines | Quantification of IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IFN-?, and TNF-a by Luminex (Multiplex human cytokine panel, Millipore) | From ICU admission up to organ recovery (5 timepoints(1:ICU admission; 2: consent to organ donation, 3: 4 to 8 hours after sample #2, 4: 24 hours after sample #2; 5: prior to transfer from ICU to operating room); 25 donors). | |
