    Many potential kidney donors are lost due to logistical and familial issues. Optimizing organ recovery requires understanding and addressing these barriers to increase kidney graft availability.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation Surgery
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Postmortem kidney donation is crucial for addressing end-stage renal disease.
    • Significant
    • organ wastage
    • occurs among potential kidney donors, necessitating an analysis of contributing factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and quantify factors leading to organ wastage in potential postmortem kidney donors.
    • To determine the actual yield of kidney grafts from referred potential donors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 86 patients referred as potential postmortem kidney donors over a one-year period.
    • Tracking of patient outcomes, referral timeliness, family consent, and donor acceptability criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Only 22 donors (25.5%) yielded usable organs from the 86 referrals.
    • Key factors for organ wastage included early death before donation criteria were met (6 patients), late referral (6 patients), refusal of consent (16 patients), untraceable relatives (8 patients), and failure to meet acceptability criteria (14 patients).

    Conclusions:

    • A substantial proportion of potential postmortem kidney donors do not result in organ procurement due to various logistical and consent-related barriers.
    • Understanding these barriers is essential for improving organ utilization and increasing the availability of kidney grafts for transplantation.
