We examined the results of spouse and spousal exchange among living kidney transplantation. Methods: Living donor kidney transplants at a single center between 1991 and 2005 were studied, retrospectively (n=593). We compared the graft rates of 24 spousal, 53 spousal exchange transplantations with those of 125 sibling, 142 other living related donor (LRD) or 249 other living unrelated donor (LURD) procedures. We analyzed graft rate, acute rejection rate among each groups. Results: The 5, 10 year graft rates of spousal donor were 75.0%, 69.2%, those of other LURD and spousal exchange were 74.6%, 64.5% (P=0.80) and 86.6%, 84.8% (P=0.11), those of sibling and other LRD were 82.3%, 75.9% (P=0.37) and 75.7%, 65.4% (P=0.84). Spousal exchange donor were more good graft rates rather than other LRD and LURD (P=, ). Acute rejection rates of spousal donor were not significant difference among sibling, other LRD and LURD groups. But acute rejection rates of spousal exchange donor (22.6%) were lower than spousal (45.8%) and other LURD (38.7%) (P=0.04, 0.04). In the multivariate analysis of donor groups, other LRD and LURD groups were associated with a high relative odds of graft (odds ratio 2.88±0.38 (P=0.02), 2.35±0.37 (P=)) compared to spousal exchange donor groups. Conclusions: The spousal exchange donors had more good graft rates than other LRD and LURD groups and spousal donors were as good as other living donors. We expect that the spousal and spousal exchange transplantations are one of the good programs for donor pool expansion.

Terasaki 등 (9) 은부부간신장이식이다른비혈연신장이식과비교하여비슷한신장이식결과를보이고있다고보고하였고, 본연구에서도부부간신장이식과다른비혈연신장이식 (P=0.11, 0.80) 이나, 혈연신장이식 (P=0.37, 0.84) 과통계적으로차이가없는결과를나타내었다. 그러나본연구가수여자의 PRA (Panel Reactive Antibody), 신장이식의과거력, 공여자및수여자의심혈관계질환, 수혜자에게사용된면역억제제등을고려하지않고이식신장의생존율을분석하였고, 다른혈연및비혈연신장이식의예에비해적은수의부부간신장이식의예 를비교하여결과에다소제한이있을수있다. 부부간신장이식에서공여자가남편인경우에다른생체신장이식보다공여신장생존율이더좋은결과를보인보고가있으나,(7,18) 본연구에서는고려대상에포함되지않았다. 부부간신장이식은 ABO 혈액형이불일치하는경우또는수혈, 임신, 이식의기왕력등의전감작으로인한림프구적합시험에양성이나타나는경우등에의해신장이식에장애가될수있다.(19) 이러한장애점을극복하기위한방법으로교환이식 (20,21) 과탈감작화시키는방법 (22) 등을고려할수있다.

지늘어나이식공여자확장에도움이되었다고보고하였다.(21) 본연구에서도배우자간교환이식 53예의경우두쌍의부부사이에단순교환을이용하여신장이식을시행하였고배우자간교환이식이부부를제외한다른비혈연신장이식이나형제를제외한혈연간신장이식에비하여좋은결과를보였으며, 이는전체생체신장이식에서 8.9% 를차지한다. 따라서부부간에신장이식이적합하지않은경우에다른부부와의교환이식방법이이식공여자확대에도움이될것으로생각된다. 하지만 Mathieson 등 (24) 은부부간신장이식에있어서윤리적인문제를지적하였고, 일부에서는신장이식이인간의장기를상품으로여길수있으며, 부부간에있어신장의공여가자칫자발적인공여를가장하여강요될수있음을경고하였다.(25) 이러한문제점은배우자간교환이식에서도마찬가지일것이다. 그러나부부간신장이식을통해결혼생활의유대감이더돈독해지고남편과부인으로서각자의역할에더충실해지고, 부부관계및자녀들과의관계가더좋아질수있다는보고도있다.(26,27) 부부간신장이식이나배우자간교환이식의경우다른혈연신장이식의경우처럼병원에입원하여퇴원할때까지이미감정적으로친밀한관계를계속유지할수있으며, 같은날같은의료팀에의해수술을받음으로써서로의지할수있다는점을간과할수없다. 이러한내용을산술적으로표현할수는없지만객관적인설문지등을통하여평가하고분석한다면신장이식에대한환자의두려움을줄여주고안정적인신장이식환경을조성하는데도움이될것이다. 결론본연구에서부부간신장이식은다른생체신장이식과이식신장생존율의차이가없었고, 배우자간교환이식에서부부를제외한다른비혈연신장이식이나형제를제외한혈연간신장이식에비하여좋은결과가나타났다. 이러한점에서부부간신장이식이적합하지않은경우배우자간교환이식이공여신장을확장할수있는유용한방법중하나라고할수있을것으로보여진다. 더나아가부부간신장이식및배우자간교환이식의의학적, 윤리적제한점을극복하고제도적으로보완하여공여신장의확장을위한연구가계속되어야할것으로생각한다.
