In 'Kidney to Share', Martha Gershun tells the story of her decision to donate a kidney to a stranger. She takes readers through the complex process by which such donors are vetted to ensure that they are physically and psychologically fit to take the risk of a major operation. John D. Lantos, a physician and bioethicist, places Gershun's story in the larger context of the history of kidney transplantation and the ethical controversies that surround living donors. Together, they help readers understand the discoveries that made transplantation relatively safe and effective as well as the legal, ethical, and economic policies that make it feasible.

Der Praxisleitfaden Organspende orientiert sich am Aufbau und dem Inhalt der Richtlinie Spendererkennung der Bundesärztekammer. Kernelement der Richtlinie ist, dass die intensivmedizinisch tätige Ärzteschaft im Krankenhaus eine Organspende bei potenziellen Organspendern ermöglichen muss, wenn ein prinzipieller Wunsch zur Organspende besteht. Der Praxisleitfaden vermittelt das relevante Wissen zur Erkennung von potentiellen Organspendern und das Vorgehen bei diesem im komplexen klinischen Alltag eher seltenen Ereignisses. Auch der Spendeprozess wird im Hinblick auf die Spendererkennung grundlegend erörtert. Das Buch wendet sich an Ärztinnen und Ärzte auf den Intensivstationen, an die Transplantationsbeauftragten sowie an alle Health Professionals, die bei potenziellen Organspendern konfrontiert werden können.

Transplantation has succeeded in prolonging the lives of those fortunate enough to have received the gift of a body organ. Alongside this life-saving development, there lies another sadder side to the story - there are not enough organs to meet the ever increasing demand. This not only places an increasing emotional and physical burden among the waiting patients and families but heaps a great financial burden upon health services. This book provides an analysis and overview of public policy developments and clinical developments that will hopefully ensure an increased availability of organs and greater graft survival. Medical, policy, and academic experts from around the world have contributed chapters to the book.
