Description

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health burden in Australia. Transplantation is a treatment option for CKD patients that approach end stage disease. To improve transplantation rates in Australia, increasingly marginal donors are offered and appropriate allocation of these organs remains challenging. Dual Kidney Transplantation (DKT) may be employed to prevent organ wastage of marginal donors for renal patients who are on the transplant waiting list for a long duration.
