The organ donor shortage has been the most important hindrance in getting listed patients transplanted. Living kidney donors who are incompatible with their intended recipients are an untapped resource for expanding the donor pool through participation in transplant exchanges. Chain transplantation takes this concept further, with the potential to benefit even more recipients. We describe the f...

The U.S. faces a widening gap between the need for, and the supply of, transplantable organs. The waiting list for transplants increased 150% in the past decade; last year, about 6,000 people died awaiting a transplant. This need has rekindled debate about the morality and feasibility of using incentives to encourage posthumous organ donation. This Issue Brief explores attitudes of the public a...

Kidney transplantation is considered the optimal therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It improves quality of life and survival less a financial burden in comparison to dialysis. However, there national shortage organ donors, which hinders success kidney can result long waiting times. The continued mismatch between donor supply demand has led exploration new avenues acquisition. This repo...

Kidney transplantation in patients with end stage renal disease is preferred to dialysis because transplantation provides a better quality of life andimproved survival. However, the gap between the supply and demand for a renal allograft is widening and the waiting time is increasing. Iranian protocol, a controlled transplant program supported by the government for living unrelated donors, was ...

Progress in kidney transplant has improved survival while creating challenges. The pool of eligible patients is increasing, but organ supply remains inadequate. Waiting-list issues, adequate pretransplant assessment, judicious use of potent immunotherapy, and management of infections must be considered.

The success of clinical transplantation as a therapy for end-stage organ failure is limited by the availability of suitable organs for transplant. This article discusses continued efforts by the transplant community to collaboratively improve the organ supply. There were 7593 deceased organ donors in 2005. This represents an all-time high and a 6% increase over 2004. Increases were noted in dec...

organ transplantation is a widely undertaken procedure and has become an important alternative for the treatment of different end-stage organ diseases that previously had a poor prognosis. the field of organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant is developing rapidly. the increase in the number of transplant recipients also has an impact on oral and dental services. most of the oral...

All potentially transplantable organs are not created equally. Even among organs currently used for transplantation, there exists a wide spectrum of quality. Donor risk factors can account for as much as a twenty-percent absolute difference in post-transplant survival. Thus, in some cases, actual receipt of a transplant matters less than the quality of organ received. Organ quality might compli...

As one of the most complicated and challenging networks among healthcare systems, organ transplant network necessitates an effective supply chain design. In this article, a bi-objective mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) location-allocation model is proposed to design network, with objectives minimizing overall costs (including strategical operational costs) number unsatisfied demands ...
