At national level the transplant tendency positions kidney as the most frequent organ, followed by the liver, heart, lung and pancreas, this is relevant, because the waiting list emphasizes people waiting for a kidney transplant.
A motivated and capable procurement team is fundamental, where nurses stand out allowing the development of two pillars, clinical care oriented to postsurgical stage, and education to achieve role adaptation and self-care.
