GARCIA MARTINEZ, Marta et al. Kidney transplantation from a living donor: a therapeutic option in consultation in Advanced Chronic Kindey Disease. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.2, pp.124-128. ISSN 2255-3517. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s2254-28842019000200003.
In Spain, organ donation has been managed over the last 30 years, more effectively than in the rest of the countries. Even so, we have not reached self-sufficiency, specifically in the case of kidney transplantation, there is still a negative balance between patients who annually enter the waiting list and organs available for transplantation.
The prevalence of kidney disease in our country in 2017 was 685 donors per million population (p.m.p) theoretically 22% of these patients will be candidates for kidney transplantation, which means a need for 150 kidney transplants p.m.p. In 2017, the waiting list for kidney transplantation had 7,211 patients, 3,269 were transplanted (332 from living donor), which means 70 transplants p.m.p. The percentage increases in young recipients, since, the number of donors older than 60 years exceeds 50% of the total. There are also notable differences in the distribution of renal transplant activity from living donors by Autonomous Community.
Kidney donation from living donors, aims to better meet the needs of the waiting list for transplant, reduce waiting times in general and increase the supply of an excellent therapeutic option, with better results in survival and rehabilitation for the patient, being currently a very safe option also for donors.
The approach to patients with chronic kidney disease must be multidisciplinary (nurses, nephrologists, psychologists and surgeons), highlighting the key role of the nurse as manager of care, by the influence on their health education and therapeutic guidance, which it is provided from the consultations in advanced chronic kidney disease.
