Organ donation (DCD) for kidney transplantation after the death of a citizen has become a major form of kidney transplantation, however, due to the irreplaceable advantages of living donor kidney transplantation (referred to as“Relative kidney transplantation”) compared with DCD donor kidney transplantation, the number of living donor kidney transplantation in the world is also increasing year by year. Especially after we overcome the immunological barrier of ABO incompatibility, the clinical adaptation of relative kidney transplantation is more extensive.
Compared with DCD donor kidney transplantation, relative donor kidney transplantation has a special feature, that is, it requires very strict ethical approval. Our country’s “The Human Body Organ Transplant Regulation” stipulates: the living organ donor must be a citizen who has reached 18 years old.In addition, the recipients of living organs are limited to the spouse, direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives up to three generations of the living organ donor, or there is evidence of a kinship relationship with a living organ donor.
