Abstract

Expanding donor numbers for paediatric transplantation is an urgent, difficult issue. The use of non-heart-beating donor renal transplants has seen a revival in adult practice, with encouraging results. The authors present the first two cases in the UK of paediatric renal transplant from non-heart-beating donors.
