Expanding the donor pool to increase renal transplantation

Abstract: Within the framework of sound research, the utmost flexibility and creativity is needed to keep or even increase the number of renal transplants when faced with a quantitatively stagnating but qualitatively deteriorating donor pool. Both the non-heart-beating donor protocol and the ESP have proven to be quite successful in achieving this goal without compromising the outcome for the individual end-stage renal disease patient.

“…Kidney transplantation is the preferred intervention for patients with end‐stage renal disease because it improves patient survival and quality of life 1, 2, 3, but the donor organ supply is limited 4, 5, 6. Expansion of the donor pool to include kidneys from older donors and/or donors with health issues (United Network for Organ Sharing [UNOS] expanded criteria donor [ECD] kidneys) has helped address growing demand.…”

“…Az idősebb vesék ugyanis érzékenyebbek az ischaemiás-reperfúziós károsodásra, ennek következtében gyakrabban lép fel delayed graft function, ami a vesetúlélést is negatívan befolyásolja [13,14]. Az ET Senior Program eddigi eredmé-nyeit megerősíti az a tény, hogy ebben a csoportban a 3 éves grafttúlélés (a beteg halála miatti graftvesztés kizárá-sával) nem különbözött a hagyományos HLA-egyezésen alapuló allokációs rendszerben észlelttől [15].…”

“…For example, among those aged 74 years, receiving a deceased donor transplant was associated with a hazard ratio of mortality of 0.67 (95 % confidence interval 0.53, 0.86) as compared to remaining on dialysis [23]. Use of expanded criteria deceased donors [24,25] as well as more liberal use of older living donors [26] also appear to reduce mortality among older people with kidney failure, as compared to similar patients who remain on the transplant waiting list (Box 2). These latter two strategies are especially appealing for use in developing countries, where growth in the prevalence of older people has been most pronounced.…”
