Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technique designed to study regional oxygenation (rSO) by measuring the absorption of chromophores. This study investigated the role of NIRS in the real-time monitoring of kidney graft perfusion for 72 h post-transplantation. Methods: Consecutive children undergoing living related donor (LRD) or deceased donor (DD) kidney transplantation (KTP) were prospectively enrolled between April 2010 and August 2011. Renal rSO values were registered continuously for 3 days and correlated with hourly urine output, serum creatinine, and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (u-NGAL). Results: Twenty-four children were included, 6 underwent LRD and 18 DD KTP. Median age was 12.5 years (interquartile range [IQR] 3.5-16.6) and median body weight was 37 kg (IQR 13-49.7). Four patients experienced delayed graft function (DGF). Renal Doppler ultrasound showed normal vascularization patterns in all children. Median basal renal rSO value was 68.8 % (IQR 59.3-76.2), significantly lower than the end-of-period result (83.6 %; IQR 79.2-90.4; p < 0.0001). Renal rSO values showed significant correlation with serum creatinine (r = −0.62; p < 0.05) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r = 0.64; p < 0.05). No correlation was shown between rSO and diuresis. Increased rSO was also found in patients who experienced DGF. u-NGAL exhibited a trend toward a decrease from baseline in both DD and LRD KTPs, with a strong negative correlation with rSO. Conclusions: rSO assessed by NIRS strongly correlates with common markers of kidney graft function and perfusion, allowing continuous real-time monitoring of blood flow in renal grafts.
