Abstract :
Kidney transplantation the best known renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease, as it is associated with better survival and quality of life. The donated kidney is either from living or deceased donor. In order to have a successful transplantation, it is important to select recipient and donor accurately. The pre-transplantation clinical and laboratory assessment of both potential candidate and donor is intended to find suitable candidates and improve patient and graft survival and reduce perioperative complications. With more than 200 transplantations per year, Shahid Labbafinejad Medical Center is one of the main transplantation centers in Iran. Transplant experts at this academic hospital developed this curriculum to systematically address preoperative considerations involving donors and recipients. This curriculum is based on the best available evidence around these issues after a comprehensive literature review. The collected evidence was reviewed and critically appraised by the members and was revised to meet the requirements and resources across the country. It is of note that in addition to the systematic evaluation, individual candidates must be assessed based on their specific conditions.
