title: Geography of the referred potential liver recipients and donors in Poland in 2004.
abstract: Our aim was to assess the accessibility of potential liver recipients to cadaveric organs and the ability of transplant teams to realize recipients needs in Poland in 2004. Our calculations revealed that in Poland the number of cadaveric liver transplants was two to three times lower than in other countries and is insufficient to meet the needs, also the number of referred potential liver recipients is two to three times lower than expected.
