Realization of the sixth modification of guidelines for organ placement in renal transplantation-a single-center experience.
Because of the recommendation of the standing commission on organ transplantation, the Board of Bundesärztekammer agreed to a modification of the guidelines for organ transplantation under section 16 of the transplantation law regarding organs from extended donors who have grave diseases. In our case all patients on our waiting list were contacted to be informed about the guideline changes. Only 6 of 322 patients (1.9%) on our waiting list who were transplantable agreed to allow organ placement from a donor with extended criteria.
