Pancreas transplants from living related donors

  • Chapter
Organ Shortage: The Solutions

Part of the book series: Transplantation and Clinical Immunology ((TRAC,volume 26))

Abstract

Living related donors (LRDs) were first used for kidney transplantation [1]. The consistently high patient and graft survival rates of LRD kidney transplants have led to their increasing popularity in the United States, accounting for up to 50% of all kidney transplants at some centers. The pancreas was the first extrarenal solid organ in which successful LRD transplants were done [2]. Over the last 5 years, the use of LRDs has received increasing attention for liver [3], lung [4], and intestinal [5] transplantation
