Abstract

Listing a patient on the Eurotransplant waiting list for a kidney transplantation obliges transplant centers to ensure that an allocated organ can also be transplanted, as long as there are no acute recipient-specific medical or personal contraindications. Assessing the ability for transplantation over a period of up to 10 years between initiation of dialysis and an organ offer represents a major challenge in manpower and logistic efforts. The present article reviews specific aspects regarding waiting list management on the basis of current guideline recommendations and literature data.

Keywords: Dialysis; Hyperparathyroidism; Kidney transplantation; Patient evaluation; Polycystic kidney diseases.
