With the success of organ transplantation and the declining number
of heart beating cadaver doctors, the number of patients awaiting a
transplant continues to rise. This means that alternative sources
of donors have been sought, including donors after cardiac death.
Such donors sustain rapid damage to their organs due to ischaemia,
and as a consequence, some organs do not work initially and some
none at all. The proportion of such transplants has increased
dramatically in recent years--25% of kidney transplants in the UK
were from such donors in 2006, highlighting how much progress has
been made.
Written by international experts, this book lays out the moral,
legal, and ethical restraints to using such donors for organ
transplant together with the techniques that have been adpoted to
improve their outcome. The different approaches and results of
renal transplant according to country are covered together with the
procedures and outcomes adopted to use other organs, notably the
liver and lungs.
