| Popis: | The results of living non-related renal transplants from India involving unethical exploitation of the donor are inferior. We followed-up 12 patients from our unit who went to a center in Bombay for renal transplantation and compared the results with our local new renal transplant programme. Two-year graft survival was 70% compared to 88% with our new renal transplant program. Also, we emphasised the human side of the problem. We addressed the problem of shortages of organ donation locally because failure to obtain consent from relatives and the need for intensive public education is required to overcome this problem. Finally, Islamic principles and rules that are related to organ transplantation have been discussed in detail, and the main purpose is to enlighten the Western reader. |
