Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment available for patients with end-stage renal disease. There are three categories of donors: living donors (LD), brain death (DBD) or cardiac death (DCD) kidney donors. In this review we analyze the current scenario of DCD renal transplantation in Europe and in Italy. In Italy DCD donation has not yet been significantly developed because of the obstacle of the 20 min no touch period after cardiac arrest, before cannulating and perfusing organs to be recovered. This procedure is requested by current Italian law and is not going to be changed in the near future.
We analyze problems rising from this law and suggest possible solutions.
期刊介绍：
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
