BackgroundPre-existing chronic hypotension affects a percentage of kidney transplanted patients (KTs). Although a relationship with delayed graft function (DGF) has been hypothesized, available data are still scarce and inconclusive.MethodsA monocentric retrospective observational study was performed on 1127 consecutive KTs from brain death donors over 11 years (2003-2013), classified according to their pre-transplant Mean Blood Pressure (MBP) as hypotensive (MBP < 80 mmHg) or normal-hypertensive (MBP ≥ 80 mmHg, with or without effective antihypertensive therapy).ResultsUnivariate analysis showed that a pre-existing hypotension is associated to DGF occurrence (p50 years old donor.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that pre-existing recipient hypotension, and the subsequent hypotension-related DGF, could be considered a significant detrimental factor, especially when elderly donors are involved in the transplant procedure. |
