Successful en bloc transplantation of pediatric deceased donor kidneys with grade 1 injury

P Modi et al. Indian J Nephrol. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

Kidney transplantation from deceased donors is in its infancy in India. Marginal donors are now accepted by many centers for kidney transplantation. We report a case of procurement of en bloc kidneys from a pediatric deceased donor having grade 1 renal injury and transplanted to an adult recipient with a follow up of two years and five months.

Keywords: Cadaver; deceased donor; en bloc; kidney transplantation; pediatric.
