Abstract
When the kidneys, liver, heart or lungs are incurably diseased, an organ transplant is often the last hope. But despite the many advances in modern medicine, the risks are still high – and the primary goal of doctors and patients is still to maximise “transplant survival” while minimising impact on quality of life.
