Both hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) are increasingly used for preservation of deceased donor kidneys. However, especially NMP can pose as a risk for microbial contamination of the kidney graft as the 37°C perfusate can act as a breeding ground for microbial contaminants.
In this study, we investigated the cultures of HMP and NMP perfusates of deceased donor kidneys.
Between January 2021 and April 2024, a total of 99 perfusates were examined (73 HMP and 26 NMP perfusates)-. We found that contamination of HMP perfusate was common, occurring in 21 of 73 cultures (29%). Most bacteria originated from the skin. Microbial contamination during NMP was rare, occurring only in 2 of 26 cultures (8%). Microbial contamination during machine perfusion did not lead to infectious complications in the recipients.
Machine perfusion poses a very limited risk of infection in kidney transplant recipients.
低温机器灌注(HMP)和常温机器灌注(NMP)都越来越多地用于 deceased 供体肾脏的保存。然而,特别是 NMP 可能会对肾移植造成微生物污染风险,因为 37°C 的灌注液可成为微生物污染物的滋生地。
在本研究中,我们调查了 deceased 供体肾脏的 HMP 和 NMP 灌注液的培养情况。
在 2021 年 1 月至 2024 年 4 月期间,共检查了 99 份灌注液(73 份 HMP 灌注液和 26 份 NMP 灌注液)。我们发现 HMP 灌注液污染很常见,73 份培养物中有 21 份出现污染(29%)。大多数细菌源自皮肤。NMP 期间的微生物污染很少见,26 份培养物中仅 2 份出现污染(8%)。机器灌注期间的微生物污染未导致受者出现感染并发症。
机器灌注对肾移植受者造成感染的风险非常有限。
