Kidney transplantation part 7




Deceased kidney donors

Deceased donors may have recorded their decision to be an organ donor on the organ donor register. Their family may make this decision after the person has died. This is a very special gift and the donor and their family are treated with the greatest respect throughout the decision and the surgery.

Unfortunately there are not many deceased donors each year. Organ donation requires special condition in less 1 out of every 100 deaths that occur in hospital.
