Background

Some individuals with UMOD and MUC1 mutations who were mildly affected donated kidneys prior to genotyping being available. The outcome of these individuals has not been studied.

Methods

We studied renal outcomes in 4 individuals with UMOD mutations and 3 individuals with MUC1 mutations.

Results

All donors donated to family members with the same mutation. One donor had a cerebral hemorrhage with donation immediately prior to death.The eGFR post-donation was lower than seen in health donors, with a mean egfr of 46.5± 5.3 ml/min. However, kidney function remained stable, and no donors required renal replacement therapy at a mean follow up of 10.2 5± 6.6 (range 3-18) years follow up. Likewise recipients have done well with all allografts functioning 12.9± 9.6 (range 3-18) years post-transplant.

Conclusion

Some individuals with MUC1 or UMOD mutations are mildly affected, and their eGFR and that of their donors remains surprisingly stable in most instances after donation. However, at this time individuals with these mutations should not yet be considered as kidney donors until more data is available.
