“…The histologic picture of these fibrin thrombi (Figs A,B and ) resembles what is found in thrombotic microangiopathy, a condition associated with a poor prognosis for graft survival . The importance of FT in the zero biopsy for future graft function has been described with great discrepancy in case reports . Only two cohort studies have systematically looked into whether the presence of FT in deceased donor kidney zero biopsy influences future graft function.…”

CB, Sørensen SS. Fibrin thrombi in deceased donor kidneys: Prevalence and influence on graft function and graft survival in transplanted patients. APMIS 2018; 126: 3-8.Fibrin thrombi (FT) are occasionally found in the pre-implantation biopsy of kidneys from deceased donors. The aim of this study was to monitor the prevalence and answer the question whether FT has any impact on future graft function in a Danish patient cohort. We looked for FT in all donor kidney biopsies taken at the time of renal transplantation in a Danish transplantation unit during a 10-year period. Every recipient transplanted with a FT donor kidney (n = 15) were matched with up to five control recipients (n = 69), and graft function and graft survival were assessed. FT was present in 3% of the transplanted donor kidneys. Graft function was reduced in the FT group 6 months after transplantation (median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): 29 mL/min vs 46 mL/min; p = 0.017), but at 12 months, an apparent difference did not reach statistical significance. More patients were on dialysis in the FT group after 12 months compared with the control group (27% vs 6%; p = 0.049). In conclusion, FT in donor kidney biopsies at time of transplantation is a risk factor for the development of reduced renal function during the first year of transplantation.

Successful Kidney Transplant Despite Microthrombi From a Deceased Donor With Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia

Many deceased donor factors determine utility of procured organs. In addition to the large dose of intravenous heparin usually given prior to aortic cross-clamp, kidneys are flushed with heparinized solution pre-implantation. In a donor with heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), these exposures may lead to microthrombi, which may be a reason to refuse a kidney offer. We present a case of successful renal transplantation of a highly sensitized patient from a donor with HIT and microthrombi on biopsy.
