Personal Viewpoint: Navigating Challenges in Recipient Selection for End-Chain Kidneys.
As a result of the increasing number of transplants being facilitated by kidney paired donation, and newer initiatives such as voucher donation, end-chain kidneys now constitute a considerable proportion of kidney paired donation transplants in the United States. Data on end-chain kidneys are limited. They may be lower in quality compared to non-end chain living donor kidneys. However, they can provide unique opportunities for recipient candidates without living donors. There are no data or algorithms available to guide recipient selection for end-chain kidneys accepted by a transplant center. Considering the ethical principles of utility, justice, and respect for persons that underlie organ allocation, we discuss three potential approaches for recipient selection: 1) adherence to the Kidney Allocation System, 2) utility maximization and 3) priority to high-risk candidates, along with examples from our own center's experience. Similar considerations are also relevant to selection of recipients for non-directed donor organs, and to out-of-sequence allocation for deceased organ donors. Since end-chain kidneys represent an increasingproportion of kidney paired donation-facilitated living kidney donor transplantation in the United States, and will likely get more medically and surgically complex over time, ongoing research on their utilization and outcomes is needed.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide.
The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure. It also explores ethical and social issues in the field.
