  • Title: The importance of non-heart-beating donor kidneys in reducing the organ shortage.
    Author: Kievit JK, Oomen AP, Heineman E, Kootstra G.
    Journal: EDTNA ERCA J; 1997; 23(2):11-3. PubMed ID: 9663987.
    Abstract:
    For over two decades kidney transplantation has been the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease. Better immunosuppressive drugs with less side effects, superior infection control and sensitive methods detecting rejection episodes in an early phase are to be credited for these transplantation results. Besides improving quality of life of the recipient, kidney transplantation compared to dialysis is cost-effective.
