Samenvatting

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a clinical strategy to reduce renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Optimal NMP should restore metabolism and minimize IRI induced inflammatory responses. Microdialysis was used to evaluate renal metabolism. This study aimed to assess the effect of complement inhibition on NMP induced inflammatory responses. Twenty-two pig kidneys underwent 18 h of static cold storage (SCS) followed by 4 h of NMP using a closed-circuit system. Kidneys were randomized to receive a C5-inhibitor or placebo during SCS and NMP. Perfusion resulted in rapidly stabilized renal flow, low renal resistance, and urine production. During SCS, tissue microdialysate levels of glucose and pyruvate decreased significantly, whereas glycerol increased (p < 0.001). In the first hour of NMP, glucose and pyruvate increased while glycerol decreased (p < 0.001). After 4 h, all metabolites had returned to baseline. Inflammatory markers C3a, soluble C5b-9, TNF, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-10 increased significantly during NMP in perfusate and kidney tissue. C5-inhibition significantly decreased perfusate and urine soluble C5b-9 (p < 0.001; p = 0.002, respectively), and tissue IL-1β (p = 0.049), but did not alter other inflammatory markers. Microdialysis can accurately monitor the effect of NMP on renal metabolism. Closed-circuit NMP induces inflammation, which appeared partly complement-mediated. Targeting additional immune inhibitors should be the next step.
