Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Organ donation is crucial for patients with end-stage renal disease.
  • Non-heart beating organ donation presents unique management challenges.
  • Understanding donor assessment is vital for successful transplantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the clinical management of non-heart beating organ donors.
  • To detail the role of the donor transplant coordinator (DTC) in assessment.
  • To compare heart beating and non-heart beating donation and discuss benefits for renal recipients.

Main Methods:

  • Case study methodology.
  • Review of clinical assessment protocols for potential donors.
  • Description of the organ donation pathway from assessment to transplantation.
