Este año se han practicado 26 de las 51 intervenciones realizadas desde que se inició el programa en 2009
Alfredo Corell's insight:

El primer trasplante renal cruzado en España tuvo lugar en 2009. El procedimiento, que consiste en intercambiar donantes entre parejas incompatibles entre sí, era un intento de profundizar en el camino de obtener órganos de donantes vivos, compensar de esta forma la caída de órganos procedentes de cadáver por la reducción de muertes en accidentes de tráfico y reforzar la buena salud del programa de trasplantes español. Desde entonces, ya se han practicado 51 intervenciones de este tipo, 26 de ellas este mismo año, como ha anunciado la Organización Nacional de Trasplantes (ONT), que considera que cuatro años después, ya se puede decir que el programa se ha consolidado.

Kidney transplants performed in Europe are considerably more successful in the long run than those performed in the United States

Study evaluates international data on kidney transplantation

 

Kidney transplants performed in Europe are considerably more successful in the long run than those performed in the United States. While the one-year survival rate is 90% in both Europe and the United States, after five years, 77% of the donor kidneys in Europe still function, while in the United States, this rate among white Americans is only 71%. After ten years, graft survival for the two groups is 56% versus 46%, respectively. The lower survival rates compared to Europe also apply to Hispanic Americans, in whom 48% of the transplanted kidneys still function after ten years, and particularly to African Americans, whose graft survival is a mere 33%.
