The improvement in kidney transplant program in R. Macedonia--what are the clues?

Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the best treatment option in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Health-economics data favour the KTx in comparison with any type of dialysis procedure, but the multidisciplinary approach and required high level of organisational infrastructure are frequent impediments for its availability in the majority of developing countries. A living donor kidney transplant (LDKTx) programme has been developed in the Republic of Macedonia since 1977 but without a real continuum in the following years.
