Donor selection in living donors: prospects and problems

Transplantation Proceedings, 1999
THE ESTIMATED prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Pakistan is 100 per million population. The cost of dialysis is approximately US$5000 to 6000 per annum. As the gross national product is US$430 in the country, the majority of patients with ESRD cannot afford dialysis. The public sector does not offer free dialysis facilities. Cadaver organ

Donor Selection: The Exclusion of High Risk Donors?

Vox Sanguinis, 1998
AbstractSelection of donors is an important means to improve the overall safety of the blood supply. Since the AIDS epidemic emerged and after the introduction of sensitive screening tests for HIV, it became clear that blood donations given in the infectious ‘window’ period, formed the most important risk for recipients of blood products.

Corneal Donor Material Selection

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1978
Histologic study of eyes used as donor material for corneal transplant revealed one instance of massive leukemic infiltration with leukemic keratic precipitates on the fellow eye. In another eye, microabscesses composed of acute and chronic inflammatory cells containing Crytococcus neoformans were present. In a third patient metastatic anaplastic cells

SELECTION OF THE LIVING LIVER DONOR

Transplantation, 1995
Living related liver transplantation offers several advantages in comparison to transplantation of cadaver organs. To achieve maximal donor safety evaluation, selection criteria and complications of the donor operation were retrospectively analyzed in living donors of segmental liver transplants.

Selecting the best haploidentical donor

Seminars in Hematology, 2016
The substantial evidence of the safety of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical (haplo) blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) has led to its increasing utilization. When prioritizing HLA-matched grafts, patients frequently have few or no donors from whom to choose. However, a given patient may have multiple suitable haplo donors.

Algorithm for donor selection in 2011

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2011
The timing represents a relevant prognostic factor of outcome for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (ASCT). In this review, the most recent studies and own transplant center policy on the donor search will be summarized in order to design an algorithm of donor identification driving ...

[Donor selection. Marginal donors].

Revista espanola de cardiologia, 1996
The number of heart transplant candidates has increased steadily in the past several years because of improved survival and sustantial decrease in the incidence of rejection and serious infections. Unfortunately the number of available donors was remained insufficient, the method of expanding the donors pool may be to liberate the criteria for an ...

Corneal Donor Material Selection

Ophthalmology, 1981
The authors conducted the first long-range study to demonstrate possible negative effects on the recipients of corneal transplantation from donors who had died of a systemic malignancy or of chronic neurologic disease. The results are reported of a long-term retrospective analysis of 73 patients who received 86 grafts from donors with various systemic ...

DONOR HEART SELECTION: WYTHENSHAWE EXPERIENCE

Transplantation, 2004
The decline in the number of suitable donor hearts has led to an increasing interest in the use of previously unacceptable donors. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of recipients of donor hearts considered medically unsuitable for transplantation at this center that were used in other centers in the United Kingdom.Forty donor hearts (group 1 ...

Tissue Donor Selection and Safety

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2005
Authors of recent reports in the medical literature indicate that allograft-associated infection primarily is attributable to violations of proper tissue processing procedures, and illustrate the need for effective quality assurance systems to avoid transplantation of potentially infectious tissue.
