Current Opinion in Urology, 1999
The need for more organs for kidney transplantation is increasing. Cadaver sources for these organs are stable, therefore living donation must increase if the need is to be met. Less perfect kidneys are now being transplanted. The pool of potential donors is being expanded.

Living donor kidney transplant rates vary across the world and this heterogeneity arises from the different socio-cultural environments and legislative rules in place to encourage the practice. In countries with an established deceased donor infrastructure, living kidney donor programs have complemented the national kidney allocations systems but ...

Urology, 1975
Donor nephrectomy was performed on 39 living related renal donors. The preoperative evaluation, surgical technique, and postoperative follow-up are presented. Major or minor complications developed in 23 per cent of the patients and included acute myocardial infarction, brachial plexus injury, acute glomerulonephritis, ileus, pneumonia, and urinary ...

Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine: A Journal of Translational and Personalized Medicine, 2012
AbstractSix decades after its first implementation, kidney transplantation remains the optimal therapy for end‐stage renal disease requiring dialysis. Despite the incontrovertible mortality reduction and cost‐effectiveness of kidney transplantation, the greatest remaining barrier to treatment of end‐stage renal disease is organ availability.

Transplantation Proceedings, 2011
Organ transplantation from deceased donors is still far below the need. Because of this deficiency, liver transplantations are performed mostly from live donors in many transplant centers in our country. Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has evolved dramatically over the past decade.

Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Donor Selection and Living Donor Hepatectomy
Current Surgery Reports, 2015Use of living donors for liver transplantation has become a widely recognized source of organs in areas with critical shortage. Donor risks and morbidity remain the primary barriers to increased utilization. Donor evaluation including laboratory and radiologic testing is described here.

Nonresident Living Kidney Donors
Transplantation Proceedings, 2005The increasing number of immigrant residents has resulted in more foreign patients on the kidney transplant waiting list. While the willingness of their relatives to participate in a living kidney donation program is not different from that of relatives of autochthonous patients, many extra logistic and financial problems have to be solved, when the ...

Evaluation of Living Liver Donors
Progress in Transplantation, 2003As a result of the cadaveric organ shortage, the number of centers performing living donor liver transplantation has increased. Living donor liver transplantation provides immediate organ availability and avoids the risk of life-threatening complications that occur with long waiting times for cadaveric organs; however, it puts a healthy person at risk ...

Psychosocial stress of living donors after living donor liver transplantation
Transplantation Proceedings, 2002LIVING DONOR liver transplantation (LDLT) has emerged as an established treatment modality in the therapy of terminal liver disease in adults. Surgery-related complications and reports of fatalities among donors result in an ethical dilemma in the process of donor-recipient evaluation.

The History of Living Donor Advocacy in Living Donor Transplantation
2013The history of living donor advocacy importantly highlights the maturation of the field of transplantation. The first successful kidney transplant performed on identical twins in 1954 confirmed the feasibility and efficacy of the surgical procedure. The process that led up to the operation itself set the groundwork for the concepts that would evolve ...
