متن کاملDonor Characteristics in 1,000 Consecutive Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplants

It was reported that the utilization of pancreata showed a wide variation depending on the region. To approach some degree of standardization, we calculated the ratio of pancreata used for transplantation with the num...
