Islam And End-Of-Life Organ Donation. Asking The Right Questions, Mohamed Y. Rady, Joseph L. Verheijde
Islam And End-Of-Life Organ Donation. Asking The Right Questions, Mohamed Y. Rady, Joseph L. Verheijde
Saudi Medical Journal
Organ transplantation has become an established treatment option for end-stage organ disease. Both living and end-of-life (so called deceased) organ donation narrow the gap between supply and demand for transplantable organs. Advances in human biology prove that death occurs as a gradual process over time and not as a single discrete event. Declaring death with either neurological criteria (heart-beating organ donation) or circulatory criteria (non-heart-beating organ donation) enables the procurement of transplantable organs before human death is complete, namely, from the incipiently dying donor. Thus, surgical procurement of organs from the incipiently dying donor is the proximate cause of death, …

Left Ventricular Function Before And After Kidney Transplantation, Mohammad T. Omran, Somayeh Khakpour, Farshid Oliaie
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate left ventricular function by echocardiography before and after kidney transplantation (KT). METHODS: This analytical study included 50 patients that had successful KT in Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Babol, Iran from October 2005 to December 2007. The echocardiography study was performed by one cardiologist before and at least 3 months after KT. Data were analyzed by SPSS, and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 33.94 ± 11.66 years, 66% were male and 56% less than 45 years old. The ejection fraction and stroke volume after KT increased, however, the left ventricular end diastolic volume, left ventricular end systolic volume, left ventricular end systolic dimension, and left ventricular end diastolic diameter decreased. CONCLUSION: In patients with end stage renal disease, successful kidney transplantation could improve the function of the left ventricle. In patients with end stage renal disease, successful kidney transplantation could improve the function of the left ventricle.
