Economic costs of expanded criteria donors in renal transplantation.
BACKGROUND The organ shortage has increased interest in the use of "expanded criteria" donors (ECDs). Although much has been written concerning the clinical outcomes associated with the use of such donors, little has been published concerning the financial results associated with their use. METHODS A retrospective cost identification study of recipients of kidneys from expanded criteria cadav...
متن کاملRenal Transplantation from Expanded Criteria Donors
The 21st century has come as an era of chronic diseases including chronic kidney diseases. Treatment at the end stage of kidney failure involves replacing the lost functions of kidneys by dialysis or by a kidney transplant. The end stage renal disease (ESRD) population is increasing worldwide. The National Kidney Foundation says that “rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States h...
متن کاملMachine perfusion versus cold storage for preservation of kidneys from expanded criteria donors after brain death.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the possible effects of machine perfusion (MP) versus cold storage (CS) on delayed graft function (DGF) and early graft survival in expanded criteria donor kidneys (ECD). As part of the previously reported international randomized controlled trial 91 consecutive heart-beating deceased ECDs--defined according to the United Network of Organ Sharing definit...
متن کاملPulsatile perfusion reduces the incidence of delayed graft function in expanded criteria donor kidney transplantation.
The use of expanded criteria donors (ECD) has been proposed to help combat the discrepancy between organ availability and need. ECD kidneys are associated with delayed graft function (DGF) and worse long-term survival. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of pulsatile perfusion (PP) on DGF and graft survival in transplanted ECD kidneys. From January 2000 to December 2003, 4618 ECD ki...
متن کاملExpanded criteria donors for kidney transplantation.
The shortage of deceased donor kidneys for transplantation continues to restrict the full application of this lifesaving procedure to all who might benefit. Increasing reliance on donors with characteristics previously thought to be unsuitable for use in transplantation has led to questions about graft outcomes for recipients of such organs. Careful definition of the expanded criteria donor (EC...
