[Experiences and clinical results following 99 kidney transplantations with kidneys from relatives].

99 living related kidney transplantations were performed between January 1967 and December 1988. At the time of observation 4 of 94 organ donors had died; there was no correlation between unilateral nephrectomy and the patient's death. Intraoperative (2.9%) and postoperative (25%) complications did not result in severe physical consequences for the organ donors. Hypertension was found in 2 donors. There was no decrease in function of the remaining kidneys. The 3-year organ survival of the transplanted kidney was 60% with "conventional immunosuppression" and 93% with cyclosporin. No association was found between HLA DR-matching and graft survival. Rejection episodes occurred significantly more often in the HLA DR-mismatched grafts.

[Professional organ procurement as a prerequisite for attaining the necessary transplantation frequency: experiences with organ distribution at the transplantation center in Vienna].

In the years 1965 to 1988 one or more organs were harvested for the purpose of transplantation from 649 brain dead organ donors reported to the Vienna transplantation centre. Based on a 1982 law regulating organ donation a large number of initiatives aiming at the improvement of the organ procurement system have taken place. In particular, the introduction of a decentralized donor guidance and organ retrieval system, a few information campaigns, as well as the introduction of full-time transplantation coordinators have significantly increased the number of organ donors. This development has made the Vienna transplantation centre one of the largest centres in Europe and has recently resulted in the achievement of a virtual balance between the increase of patients on the waiting list and the growth of the rate of transplantations performed. If this organ procurement policy is consistently continued in the years to come, there is a good chance of ensuring sufficient supply of organs for all patients on waiting lists, at least within the Viennese area.
