A promising way to increase the number of kidneys for transplantation is to expand the donor pool by including non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs). The centers involved in NHBD transplantation programs have reported a 16-40% increase in kidney transplants. A key issue with NHBD is the significantly higher rate of delayed graft function (DGF) and primary non-function (PNF) compared with that associated with heart-beating donor (HBD) transplants. However, although transplants from NHBD are associated with a greater incidence of early adverse events, long-term graft survival appears to be similar to that observed after transplants from HBDs. In addition, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical perfusion, the careful selection of recipients and donors, and an adequate therapeutic strategy may at least partially reduce the risk of PNF and DGF and improve transplant outcome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007558 Italy A country in southern Europe, a peninsula extending into the central Mediterranean Sea, northeast of Tunisia. The capital is Rome. Sardinia
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D009927 Tissue and Organ Procurement The administrative procedures involved with acquiring TISSUES or organs for TRANSPLANTATION through various programs, systems, or organizations. These procedures include obtaining consent from TISSUE DONORS and arranging for transportation of donated tissues and organs, after TISSUE HARVESTING, to HOSPITALS for processing and transplantation.

D001926 Brain Death A state of prolonged irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including lower brain stem function with the complete absence of voluntary movements, responses to stimuli, brain stem reflexes, and spontaneous respirations. Reversible conditions which mimic this clinical state (e.g., sedative overdose, hypothermia, etc.) are excluded prior to making the determination of brain death.
