Availability of cadaveric kidneys for transplantation.

D L Crosby, R R West, H Davies

    British Medical Journal
    |November 13, 1971
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cadaveric donor kidneys for transplantation are sufficient to meet current patient demand. A 1969 survey in Wales identified 76 probable and 167 possible donors, indicating ample supply for kidney transplants.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Kidney transplantation is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • The availability of donor organs, particularly kidneys, is a critical factor in meeting patient demand.
    • Estimating the potential supply of cadaveric donor kidneys is essential for healthcare planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the availability of cadaveric donor kidneys for transplantation.
    • To assess if the potential supply of donor kidneys met the demand in 1969.
    • To inform future organ donation and transplantation strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective survey of hospital deaths in Wales.
    • Data collection from 1969.
    • Identification of "probable" and "possible" cadaveric kidney donors.

    Main Results:

    • Seventy-six "probable donors" were identified.
    • 167 "possible donors" were identified.
    • The potential supply of donor kidneys was found to be sufficient for the existing demand.

    Conclusions:

    • The study indicates a sufficient supply of cadaveric donor kidneys in Wales in 1969.
    • The findings suggest that organ donation infrastructure could meet transplantation needs.
    • This historical data provides a baseline for understanding organ donor availability over time.
