Abstract

BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication that impairs allograft function after kidney transplantation. However, the mechanism of DGF remains unclear. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based analysis has been widely used in recent times to assess changes in metabolite levels.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Samples of perfusate from allografts donated after circulatory death were collected prior to transplantation, during static cold storage. ¹H-NMR-based metabolomics combined with the statistical methods, orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and principle-component analysis (PCA), were employed to test different levels of metabolites between the allografts that exhibited DGF and those that exhibited immediate graft function (IGF).

RESULTS: The study population consisted of 36 subjects, 11 with DGF and 25 with IGF. Of the 37 detected and identified metabolites, a-glucose and citrate were significantly elevated in the perfusate of DGF allografts, and taurine and betaine were significantly decreased.

CONCLUSIONS: ¹H-NMR analysis of DGF and IGF perfusates revealed some significant differences in their metabolite profiles, which may help explain the mechanisms of kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury and DGF.
