Transplantation. Kidneys.
Nearly 2000 patients each year commence renal replacement therapy in the UK. Renal transplantation offers a return to a near-normal lifestyle and has considerable financial advantages over long-term dialysis. Recent developments have increased the success rate to nearly 90%, and there is a real need to improve the supply of cadaver kidneys available for transplantation.
