Abstract

Purpose of review: Optimizing deceased donor organ utilization is gaining recognition as a topical and important issue, both in the United Kingdom (UK) and globally. This review discusses pertinent issues in the field of organ utilization, with specific reference to UK data and recent developments within the UK.

Recent findings: A multifaceted approach is likely required in order to improve organ utilization. Having a solid evidence-base upon which transplant clinicians and patients on national waiting lists can base decisions regarding organ utilization is imperative in order to bridge gaps in knowledge regarding the optimal use of each donated organ. A better understanding of the risks and benefits of the uses of higher risk organs, along with innovations such as novel machine perfusion technologies, can help clinician decision-making and may ultimately reduce the unnecessary discard of precious deceased donor organs.

Summary: The issues facing the UK with regards to organ utilization are likely to be similar to those in many other developed countries. Discussions around these issues within organ donation and transplantation communities may help facilitate shared learning, lead to improvements in the usage of scarce deceased donor organs, and enable better outcomes for patients waiting for transplants.

从器官捐献到器官利用。

综述目的:在英国和全球范围内，优化死者供体器官的利用正在成为一个热门和重要的问题。这篇综述讨论了器官利用领域的相关问题，具体参考了英国的数据和英国近期的发展。最近的发现:为了提高器官的利用率，可能需要一个多方面的方法。有一个坚实的证据基础，移植临床医生和国家等待名单上的患者可以根据这个基础来决定器官的使用，这是必要的，以便弥合关于每个捐赠器官最佳使用的知识差距。更好地了解使用高风险器官的风险和益处，以及新型机器灌注技术等创新，可以帮助临床医生做出决策，并可能最终减少对宝贵的已故供体器官的不必要丢弃。总结:英国在器官利用方面面临的问题可能与许多其他发达国家相似。在器官捐赠和移植社区内围绕这些问题的讨论可能有助于促进共享学习，改善稀缺的已故供体器官的使用，并为等待移植的患者带来更好的结果。
