Transplantation: Pediatric kidney donation after cardiac death

Randall S Sung. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

A Dutch study has evaluated the outcomes after transplantation of kidneys from pediatric patients after cardiac death. Such programs instigate ethical debate regarding the classification of donors, and raise questions about the suitability of protocols for determining when an individual can be declared dead, and thus, can donate their organs.
