Introduction: Kidney procurement procedure must be carried out following a standardized technique in order to optimize kidney grafts for their subsequent implantation.
Objectives: Review of the available literature on kidney procurement procedure.
Material And Methods: Narrative review of the available evidence on deceased donor kidney procurement technique after a search of relevant manuscripts indexed in PubMed, EMBASE and Scielo written in English and Spanish.
Results: Deceased donor kidney procurement can be divided into two groups, donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD). Kidney procurement in DBD frequently includes other chest and/or abdominal organs, requiring multidisciplinary surgical coordination. During the harvesting procedure, the renal vascular pedicle must remain intact for subsequent implantation and reduced ischemia time.
Conclusions: Adequate execution and perfect knowledge of the technique for surgical removal and anatomy reduces the rate of graft losses associated to inadequate harvesting techniques.

Optimizing the long-term care and follow-up of living kidney donors (LKDs) has been challenging, and prior LKDs have reported suboptimal healthcare experiences. Long-term care of LKDs is largely undertaken by primary care practitioners such as family physicians (FPs). We conducted a cross-sectional survey of Canadian FPs (n = 151).

To investigate the efficacy of dual kidney transplantation (DKT) from adult donors. Clinical data of adult DKT donors and recipients in the Institute of Organ Transplantation, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 2015 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up until September 2024.

Pediatric organ transplant recipients have a higher risk for wait list mortality due to the scarcity of size matched organs. Neonatal organ donation could potentially ameliorate the discrepancy but is currently not implemented in Sweden. This study aims to evaluate the potential of neonatal organ donation in central Sweden using a standardized protocol with organ specific criteria.

Purpose Of Review: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet systemic challenges, including geographic disparities, impede equitable access. This review evaluates transplant center activity and regional disparities using recent trends and discusses the potential of value-based care (VBC) models like the proposed Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) model to address these challenges.
Recent Findings: Analysis of Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data from 2021 to 2023 identified 185 of 322 transplant centers as potentially eligible for VBC inclusion.
Assessment of access and outcomes of kidney transplantation through the reforms of the Swiss organ allocation system.

Introduction: The Swiss allocation system for kidney transplantation has evolved over time to balance medical urgency, immunological compatibility, and waiting time. Since the introduction of the transplantation law in 2007, which imposed organ allocation on a national level, the algorithm has been optimized. Initially based on waiting time, HLA compatibility, and crossmatch performed by cell complement-dependent cytotoxicity techniques, the system moved in 2012 to a score including HLA compatibility, waiting time, anti-HLA antibodies detected by the Luminex technology, and a virtual crossmatch.
