Brief description/objective

Because of the severe shortage of cadaver organs, the transplantation of living donated organs from related and also from unrelated donors has been suggested; graft survival is similar or better than with cadaver kidneys. Therefore, kidneys from living donors are a large and valuable source for transplantation which help increase the pool of organs and thus decrease the time spent waiting for organ transplantation.
