Brief Summary

The O2C tissue spectrometry device provides a quantitative method of microperfusion assessment that can be employed during kidney transplantation as an easy-to-use and highly sensitive alternative to ICG fluorescence angiography. Intraoperative microvascular flow and velocity in the allograft cortex after reperfusion predicted DGF with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 82%. Threshold values of 57 A.U. for microvascular flow and 13 A.U. for microvascular velocity were identified by an ROC analysis. This study, therefore, confirmed that impairment of microperfusion of the allograft cortex directly after reperfusion was a key indicator for the occurrence of DGF after kidney transplantation. Our results support the combined use of intraoperative duplex sonography, for macrovascular quality control, and quantitative microperfusion assessment, such as O2C spectrometry, for individual risk stratification to guide subsequent postoperative management.
