Patients' attitudes about living donor transplantation and living donor nephrectomy
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2003The growing shortage of organs available for transplantation has resulted in an increased use of living donors for kidney transplantation. The laparoscopic nephrectomy is a new procedure used to remove kidneys from donors. The study objective was to explore the attitudes of recipients and donors toward living donor kidney transplantation and the impact

Donor selection in living donors: prospects and problems
Transplantation Proceedings, 1999THE 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 Age in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Transplantation Proceedings, 2008We sought to elucidate the influence of donor age in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using either left lobe (LL) or right lobe (RL) grafts.Recipients (n = 232) were categorized as: group O/LL (LL, donor age >50, n = 20); group Y/LL (LL, donor age < or =50, n = 140); Group O/RL (RL, donor age >50, n = 12); and group Y/RL (RL, donor age < or ...

On December 23 1954 the first successful renal transplant was performed, the donor and recipient being identical twins. In the Western world up to 20% of kidneys transplanted continue to come from live donors, the remainder from cadavers. However, in certain cultures the use of a cadaver kidney is not acceptable and live donation is essential.

Donor Evaluation Protocol for Live and Deceased Donors
Journal of Clinical and Experimental HepatologyDonor evaluation is a critical step before proceeding with liver transplantation (LT) in both deceased donor LT (DDLT) and living donor LT (LDLT). A good, healthy graft is necessary for the success of the transplantation. Other issues in selecting a donor include the transmission of infections and malignancies from the donor. Because of the scarcity of

Hypophosphatemia in Living Liver Donors
Transplantation Proceedings, 2006Some patients who undergo donor hepatectomy for adult living donor liver transplantation develop hypophosphatemia postoperatively. Since this imbalance appears to be a factor in postoperative complications, some authors advocate routine supratherapeutic phosphorus repletion.
