ABSTRACT
Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is the most common hereditary cause of kidney disease with an estimated of 12.5 million cases worldwide, it occurs in one in every 500 to 1000 livebirths.Indications for nephrectomy of the native kidneys are recurrent infections, hematuria, abdominal or flank pain, early satiety, loss of domain and suspicion of malignancy. Only 20% of patients with ADPKD will need a nephrectomy. Although indications for nephrectomy are well established, the timing for the procedure is still a matter of great controversy. Case report: We present the case of a 48-year-old male with end stage chronic kidney disease, secondary to ADPKD. He was sent Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición to initiate protocol to enter the waiting list for deceased kidney donation. We received an offer for a kidney allograft from 56-year-old, male, brain death donor (DBD), with a KDRI of 1.11 and KDPI of 61%. A bilateral nephrectomy with simultaneous kidney transplantation was performed without any complications, with a cold ischemia of 25 hours and 35 minutes and a warm ischemia of 49 minutes. He was sent home on postoperative day 10, without any complications and follow-up at the external consultation. Discussion: The majority of the studies that refer to simultaneous nephrectomy and renal transplantation were done in living donor kidney transplantation, with good results in both patient, graft survival and quality of life of the recipients. Conclusions: Even if surgical time and hospitalization days were longer, we believe that it is possible to do this kind of procedures in patients that are listed for deceased kidney allografts with excellent results.REFERENCES
