Can deceased donor with recurrent primary brain tumor donate kidneys for transplantation?

Suresh Kumar et al. Indian J Urol. 2016 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

Kidney transplantation from deceased donors is in its infancy in India. Cadaver organ donation was accepted legally in 1994 by the "Human Organs Transplantation Act." Marginal donors are now accepted by many centers for kidney transplantation. We report a case of procurement of both kidneys from a young deceased donor having recurrent primary brain tumor, transplanted into two adult recipients with successful outcome.

Keywords: Deceased donor; recurrent primary brain tumor; renal tansplantation.
