IGL-1 preservation solution in kidney and pancreas transplantation: A systematic review.

We aimed to systematically review published data on the effectiveness of Institut Georges Lopez-1 (IGL-1) as a preservation solution for kidney and pancreas grafts. A systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases was performed. Human studies evaluating the effects of IGL-1 preservation solution in kidney and/or pancreas transplantation were included. Outcome data on kidney and pancreas graft function were extracted. Of 1513 unique articles identified via the search strategy, four articles could be included in the systematic review. Of these, two retrospective studies reported on the outcome of IGL-1 compared to University of Wisconsin (UW) solution in kidney transplantation. These show kidneys preserved in IGL-1 had improved early function (2 weeks post-transplant) compared to UW. Follow-up was limited to 1 year and showed similar graft and patient survival rates when reported. Two case series described acceptable early outcomes (up to 1 month) of simultaneous kidney pancreas transplantation after storage in IGL-1. As only four clinical papers were identified, we widened our search to include four eligible large animal studies. Three compared IGL-1 with UW in pig kidney transplant models with inconclusive or mildly positive results. One pig pancreas transplant study suggested better early outcome with IGL-1 compared to UW. Too few published data are available to allow any firm conclusions to be drawn on the effectiveness of IGL-1 as a preservation solution of kidney and pancreas grafts. The limited available data show satisfactory early outcomes though no medium to long-term outcomes have been described. Further well-designed clinical studies are needed.
