Performance of Renal Allografts Perfused With Verapamil-Treated Perfusion Solution

Verapamil has been used in perfusion solution to improve kidney performance, but evidence was anecdotal, and no research has been reported on recipient outcomes. Our organization began a program to evaluate Verapamil's effect on pump performance, transplant rate, and recipient outcomes. One kidney in a pair was treated with Verapamil and one with standard perfusion. Donor inclusion criteria were age 18 or older and both kidneys were placed on the pump. The laterality of the treated kidney was changed every month to reduce bias. From January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 88 kidneys were evaluated. Of those, 21 donors had both kidneys transplanted to different recipients, so for those 42 kidneys, recipient outcomes were evaluated. Small improvements in pump performance were observed in the Verapamil-treated kidneys and more were transplanted. No clinical differences were found in recipients between the Verapamil-treated and standard perfused kidneys. A larger cohort is needed to determine whether differences are significant.
