The purpose of this study is to establish if concomitant renal and vascularized urinary bladder allograft transplantation is feasible.
This is a single-center, prospective, single-group unblinded phase I study that will enroll subjects with chronic kidney disease secondary to bladder dysfunction or bladder absence that is refractory to medical treatment and requires surgical intervention to prevent long-term sequelae. The primary inclusion criteria will be patients who are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease secondary to disorders involving the urinary bladder or absence of a urinary bladder. Patients exhibiting "hostile bladders" defined as end filling pressure or detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) of 40 cm H2O or greater as measured by urodynamic studies or detrusor overactivity with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia will be included. Candidates for renal transplantation will be vetted and approved by the Mayo Clinic multidisciplinary transplant team (MDC). Subjects meeting these primary inclusion criteria can be referred to the PI, co-investigators, or study coordinator to approach for possible participation in this research study. If the subject still meets all the inclusion and exclusion criteria after the baseline evaluations are completed, the subject will undergo concomitant renal and vascularized urinary bladder allograft transplantation.

This is a single-center, prospective, single-group unblinded phase I study that will enroll subjects with chronic kidney disease secondary to bladder dysfunction or bladder absence that is refractory to medical treatment and requires surgical intervention to prevent long-term sequelae. Patients will undergo a cadaveric donor bladder transplant in addition to or after their kidney transplant rather than using intestinal segments for bladder reconstruction or contruction.

RECRUITINGEstablish if concomitant renal and vascularized urinary bladder allograft transplantation is feasible.
The primary endpoint will be bladder compliance and/or the end fill pressure at bladder capacity as assessed by standardized urodynamic measures at 12 months and yearly until year 4 Urodynamic measures assessed multiple times in each subject over the follow up period will be modeled with linear mixed effects models. A discrete time relationship will estimate the mean bladder compliance or end fill pressure at 12 months and yearly until year 4. Models will adjust for baseline value, and random intercepts and slopes will be considered using model fit criteria. From this linear mixed effects model, we estimate the expected change from baseline to 12 months (and yearly until year 4), adjusting for baseline value. Results will be reported as estimated 12 month mean with confidence interval.
Time frame: Year 1-4
Study the long term function of vascularized bladder allotransplantation in patients receiving a concomitant renal and bladder graft
End-filling pressure at age-related nomogram derived bladder capacity at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. a. Ratio of measured bladder volume to age-related nomogram derived bladder capacity at baseline, 2,4, 6, 9, 12, and 48 months Filling pressure at 25, 33, 50, 66, and 75 percent of the age-related nomogram-derived bladder capacities Neurogenic detrusor overactivity Frequency of incontinence episodes . 3. Individual subject data including resolution of vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis or recovery of renal function . 4\. Evaluating the effect of improved genitourinary function on overall health and mental health using QoL questionaires 5. Rejection and other histological changes will be monitored with protocol biopsies at month 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 and annually until year 4. For cause biopsies for clinical changes such as decreased compliance or hematuria will also be performed.

Incidence of all serious adverse events including unanticipated adverse events
All adverse events will be captured and graded for severity using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale.
