Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Scandiatransplant is the Nordic organ exchange organization. It has existed for 35 years and it is owned by all organ transplantation hospital departments in the five Nordic countries--Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The use of living organ donors for kidney transplantation has become a more common procedure not only in Norway but also in Sweden and Denmark. For the first time, in 2003, one transplant center performed relatively more living donor kidney transplantations than with deceased donors. The overall organ transplant activity reveals a remarkably stable situation in the area covered by Scandiatransplant. Scandiatransplant as an organ exchange organization has changed from a solely kidney exchange organization to an organization in which the more immediate vital organs as liver and heart are exchanged more commonly than kidneys.
