  • More widespread use of kidneys from cadavers who have suffered irreversible circulatory arrest has the potential to reduce the shortfall between supply and demand of organs for transplantation. In the Netherlands, kidneys from this source now account for almost 50% of cadaveric-donor renal grafts. Here, Dutch authors review outcomes data from studies of non-heartbeating donation (or donation after cardiac death) and relate their own considerable experience with this form of transplantation.

  • A recent study reports the expansion of the donor pool by using kidneys from donors after cardiac death with prolonged agonal time. The duration of the agonal period and hemodynamic instability do not influence kidney transplantation outcome, indicating that this approach is feasible and may help meet the need for donor kidneys for transplantation.
