There is uncertainty about the composition of the perfusate for normothermic kidney perfusion, and the effect of different perfusate components or ischemic conditions on cytokine levels is unclear. Further research is needed to understand the role of leukocyte filters and the changes in cytokine levels during different ischemic conditions.
The ideal composition of the perfusate for normothermic kidney perfusion is unknown, though the perfusate commonly used to perfuse human kidneys contains leukocyte-depleted packed red blood cells (RBC), as this is believed to prevent excessive inflammation. We performed a systematic search identifying 19 articles reporting on cytokine levels during normothermic pig or human kidney perfusion. Cytokine levels varied widely across the reported studies. No direct comparisons of perfusate cytokines during perfusion with RBC or whole blood were performed, and no data on how these levels are influenced by ischemia are available. Therefore, we compared perfusate IL-6, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, IL-10, IL-8, and CCL2 levels during 4 h normothermic pig kidney perfusion with a whole blood- or RBC-based perfusate. Kidneys were exposed to either 1 h of warm or 22 h of cold ischemia. We found no evidence of different perfusate cytokine or gene expression levels in whole blood or RBC perfusions. There was no clear evidence to suggest that cytokine concentrations differ between ischemically injured kidneys and controls. In conclusion, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines are detectable in the perfusate and urine of kidneys undergoing normothermic perfusion. It is unclear how cytokine levels change in different ischemic conditions and whether the use of a leukocyte filter plays a role.
