Background: The use of hypotonic fluid, such as 0.45% saline, following kidney transplantation (KT) in children is associated with a high incidence of electrolyte imbalance, especially hyponatraemia. This can result in serious adverse events, such as cerebral oedema and seizures. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of electrolyte disturbance in children when 0.9% saline was the intravenous fluid used in the first 72 h following KT.

Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study of 50 consecutive KT undertaken between January 2017 and January 2019 at a single centre.

Results: The median age at KT was 9.2 years (IQR 4-14) and 16 (32%) were females. Thirty-two (64%) were living related donor (LRD) KT and 22 (44%) were carried out in children < 20 kg. The mean volume of fluid administered intra-operatively, and on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3, were 73 ml/kg, 124 ml/kg, 97 ml/kg and 86 ml/kg, respectively. Hyponatraemia was noted in 4%, hypernatraemia in 18%, hyperkalaemia in 18%, hyperchloraemia in 68% and low bicarbonate was seen in 88%. Fifteen percent of the children had an episode of hyperglycaemia. None of the children developed symptomatic dyselectrolytaemia. There was delayed graft function (DGF) in 4 (8%) recipients - all deceased donor (DD) KT, including 2 who received donations after circulatory death.

Conclusions: While the use of 0.9% saline is associated with a high incidence of electrolyte disturbances, including hyperkalaemia, it reduces the risk of hyponatraemia. None of the children developed a symptomatic electrolyte abnormality. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2021 Apr 4;4:CD10829. Epub 2021 Apr 4.

Clinical Epidemiology Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada.

Background: A solution for increasing the number of available organs for transplantation is to encourage more individuals to register a commitment for deceased organ donation. However, the percentage of the population registered for organ donation remains low in many countries.

Objectives: To evaluate the benefits and harms of various interventions used to increase deceased organ donor registration. Read More

Objective: To evaluate hypothalamic-pi- tuitary-gonadal (HPG) axis alterations at 1 and 12 months after kidney transplan- tation (KT) and their association with in- sulin resistance.

Methods: A retrospective clinical study was conducted in a tertiary care center in kidney transplantation recipients (KTRs) aged 18- 50 years with primary kidney disease and stable renal graft function. LH, FSH, E2/T, and HOMA-IR were assessed at 1 and 12 months after KT. Read More
