Allocating Deceased Donor Kidneys to Sensitized Candidates.
In this edition of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Gebel et al. (1) present simulation data showing that the new kidney allocation system (KAS) increases the offer rate for highly sensitizedkidney transplant candidates. This is counter to the previously held belief that the only possibility of transplanting a highly sensitized patient iswith anHLA-identical kidney. T...
متن کاملChoosing Among Living-Donor and Cadaveric Livers
T only therapy for a patient with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) is liver transplantation, which is performed by using either a cadaveric liver from a deceased donor or a portion of a living-donor’s liver.

متن کاملExperimental appraisal of factors involved in provision of donor livers.
The results of a series of porcine orthotopic liver homotransplants have shown that hepatic damage is related almost entirely to the period of warm ischaemia following death. Low flow perfusion with modified plasma would seem to be a satisfactory method of preserving cadaveric livers for at least six hours.In man it would appear possible to use cadaver livers derived from patients who had or ha...
متن کاملEx Situ Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Livers.
In contrast to conventional static cold preservation (0-4 °C), ex situ machine perfusion may provide better preservation of donor livers. Continuous perfusion of organs provides the opportunity to improve organ quality and allows ex situ viability assessment of donor livers prior to transplantation. This video article provides a step by step protocol for ex situ normothermic machine perfusion (...
