Availability of cadaveric kidneys for transplantation

D L Crosby et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

The availability of cadaveric donor kidneys for transplantation has been estimated from a retrospective survey of hospital deaths in Wales during 1969. Seventy-six "probable donors" and 167 "possible donors" were identified, indicating that the potential supply of donor kidneys is sufficient to meet the present demands of patients needing kidney transplantation.
