In the queue for a cadaver donor kidney transplant: new rules and concepts in the Eurotransplant International Foundation

High-Urgency Renal Transplantation: Indications and Long-Term Outcomes

“…In the rest of the cases ( n = 14) the recipients lost the renal graft because of rejection, vascular complications, or because of primary nonfunction of the renal graft. Our data correlate with the numbers presented by De Meester et al who showed a poor outcome with a 2-year graft survival of 59% [9]. In the comparison between our study population and the non-high urgency renal transplant recipients, our patients presented lower graft survival rates, but a statistically significant difference was observed only in the 5-year graft survival (47% versus 70%).…”

“…Sepsis with multiple organ failure, myocardial infarction, and subdural bleeding were the main causes of death. Our findings correlate with the patient survival rates presented by De Meester et al who demonstrated a two-year patient survival of 84% for the total of 161 high-urgency patients transplanted between 1993 and 1996 [9]. In the comparison of our study population to the non-high-urgency renal transplant recipients, the HU recipients presented statistically significant lower survival rates confirming the inferior outcomes after HU renal transplantation.…”

“…Although the option of high-urgency renal transplantation exists almost from the beginning of transplantation, little is known on the long-term patient and graft survivals of this special group of renal transplant recipients. The primary results reported seem to be rather disappointing, with a graft survival of 59% and patient survival of 84% at two years respectively [9]. …”

Experiences of adults on dialysis and waiting for a renal transplant from a deceased donor: a systematic review protocol

“…9 The process of transplantation from either a living or deceased donor is protected with legislation including global agreements 13 and national and regional laws. [14][15][16] Some countries allow the pre-emptive listing of patients to receive a deceased donor transplant before they start dialysis, while others, including Australia, do not allow patients onto a waiting list until they have commenced dialysis. 16 Because there are many more people waiting than there are available organs the waiting time is often prolonged for many years.…”

Analysis of the renal transplant waiting list in the País Valencià (Spain)

“…Several analyses of renal transplant waiting lists can be found in scientiÿc papers, using di erent numerical techniques and pursuing quite distinct objectives. Considerable research has been devoted to the analysis of allocation policies which are able to guarantee equity [7][8][9][10]. Papers focused on management can also be found, such as that by Davies and Roderick [11], which explores the overall demand for renal replacement therapy in the U.K. over the subsequent 15 years.…”
