RESUMO

INTRODUCTION Deceased renal transplant graft survival rates are worse than those from living donors. Reactive oxygen metabolites are believed to be important mediators of various forms of acute kidney injury, such as ischaemic renal failure, radiocontrast nephrotoxicity and ureteral obstruction. The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effects of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on early outcomes of deceased renal transplant patients regarding graft function and oxidative stress. METHOD Between April 2005 and June 2008, 74 adult primary graft recipients of deceased renal donors were randomly assigned to treatment (NAC) (n=38) or control (n=36) group and prospectively evaluated for 90 days. Treatment group received N-acetylcysteine 600 mg bid po from 0 to 7th postoperative day (PO). Renal function was determined by serum creatinine, Cockroft-Gault estimated GFR (eGFR) at 7th, 15th, 30th, 60th and 90th PO and dialysis free Kaplan-Meier estimate curve. Serum levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), which are markers of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, were determined using the thiobarbituric acid assay from 0-7th PO. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0 and Chi-square test, Fisher´s exact test, Student t test, Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA and log rank test were applied as indicated. RESULTS Biopsy confirmed acute rejection was less frequent, albeit not significant, with NAC (3/38 7.9% vs. 7/36 19.4%, p=0.203). NAC group presented a lower mean serum creatinine during follow-up (p=0.026). NAC group presented a higher mean eGFR (p=0.029). Kaplan-Meier estimate for dialysis free recipients presented less days of dialysis for the NAC group (p=0.008). Oxidative stress was significantly attenuated with NAC (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that N-acetylcysteine enhance deceased renal transplant outcomes by attenuating oxidative stress
