“…Enormous improvements in transplant medicine have made organ transplant the treatment of choice for end stage organ failure of the kidneys, and the only alternative for individuals with liver, heart, and lung failure (Peters, 1992;Peters & Vaughn, 1990). During the past 15 years, both survival rates and quality of life have been shown to improve after transplant surgery (Evans et al, 1985; United Network for Organ Sharing [UNOS] Database, 2000).…”

“…During the past 15 years, both survival rates and quality of life have been shown to improve after transplant surgery (Evans et al, 1985; United Network for Organ Sharing [UNOS] Database, 2000). In addition, organ transplantation reduces health care costs and often returns to the workforce thousands of individuals who would otherwise be debilitated (Gerhardt et al, 1996;Perkins, 1987;Peters & Vaughn, 1990). All of these factors have fueled the demand for transplantable organs.…”

“…The difference was attributed to improved surveillance of multiorgan donors. 5,6 Other series showed no implications of multiorgan harvesting on early function and survival of kidneys. 7,8 Nowadays, as the protocols for donor management care are well established, 9 this may no longer be an issue.…”

“…Prospective analysis of 3798 kidney transplants showed that multiple organ procurement in any combination actually resulted in better renal allograft function31. A retrospective analysis of 18 277 kidney transplants from the South Eastern Organ Procurement Foundation indicated better early function and long‐term survival for renal allografts from multiorgan donation28. These findings were supported by an analysis from Eurotransplant that also described better results for renal grafts procured from multiorgan donation32.…”
