Fifty-two possible donors of cadaver kidneys were referred to the Nuffield Transplantation Surgery Unit, Edinburgh, in 12 months. Only 12 (23%) yielded kidneys, while a further 12 were medically unsuitable as donors. Refusal by relatives to allow cadaver nephrectomy was the largest avoidable loss of potentially transplantable kidneys. A similar but unavoidable loss occurred through sudden death of the possible donor.
在12个月内,有52名可能的尸体肾捐赠者被转介至爱丁堡的纳菲尔德移植外科中心。只有12人(23%)成功捐献了肾脏,另有12人因医学原因不适合作为捐赠者。亲属拒绝进行尸体肾切除术是潜在可移植肾脏可避免的最大损失。由于潜在捐赠者的突然死亡,也发生了类似但不可避免的损失。
