Early Experience with HIV+ Kidney and Liver Organ Donation

摘要

Thirty-five kidney and 19 liver programs developed approved protocols (25% have not listed any candidates), and by the end of 2018,102 HIV+ recipients received 71 kidneys and 31 livers from 50 deceased donors with positive HIV screens (estimated false positive rate, 40%-50%). Two recipient deaths (multisystem organ failure and aspiration), one thrombosis-related graft failure, and three rejections were reported. Too few patients with at least 1 year of posttrans-plant follow-up were available for reliable statistical comparison with a non-HIV cohort, but no obvious safety concerns were identified.
