چکیده
NINETEEN liver and 51 kidney retrievals (one pediatric pair is considered as a smgle organ) were performed in 26 non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) over a 5.5-year period. Consent for liver procurement was not obtained in seven cases. Fifty-seven allografts (14 livers and 43 kidneys) were transplanted while the remainder (5 livers and 8 kidneys) were discarded because of macroscopic and/or microscopic findings. This report discusses the outcome in this series of liver and kidney allografts from NHBD.
