Organ procurement in Europe and the United States
Abstract:
Improvements in the medical/technical ability to transplant human organs have led to similar--yet importantly different--societal and organizational responses among the nations of the "Atlantic Community." The highly decentralized system of organ procurement in the United States yields greater numbers; centrally directed European systems reflect lower wastage rates. An emerging convergence of the two approaches promises significant benefits and efficiencies in organ transplantation.

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor.
