Kidney transplants offer a better quality of life than dialysis for chronic kidney failure patients. Public attitudes towards organ donation, not medical expertise, limit transplants, with patient health deterioration being a key reason for list withdrawal.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Kidney transplantation is a superior alternative to dialysis for end-stage renal disease.
  • Organ donation limitations, influenced by public perception, hinder transplant accessibility.
  • Patient health decline during prolonged dialysis is a significant barrier to transplantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze patient distribution on the kidney transplant waiting list.
  • To identify primary reasons for patient removal from the transplant waiting list.
  • To understand the impact of public attitudes on organ donation for kidney transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patient data from a regional transplant center.
  • Review of waiting list demographics and reasons for patient withdrawal.

  • Examination of factors influencing organ donation rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Patient waiting lists are extensive, primarily due to insufficient organ availability.
    • Deterioration of patient health after extended dialysis is the leading cause for removal from the waiting list.
    • Public and familial consent for organ donation remains a critical bottleneck.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing public perception of organ donation is crucial to expand kidney transplant access.
    • Improving patient management during dialysis may reduce list withdrawals.
    • Policy and public awareness initiatives are needed to increase organ donor numbers.
