New kidney transplants

摘要

Chronic kidney failure and patients that require haemodialysis is increasing, mainly because of the increasing prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. Kidney transplantation is an alternative therapy for chronic renal failure in its terminal stage. Currently, in France and in the world, there is a shortage of kidney transplants. The evolution of the French legislation allows the organ donation from living donor, including awaiting cardiac arrest. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
