Abstract
In October 1987, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) established a national kidney-sharing program to increase the number of HLA-matched transplantations. Since then, over 7500 cadaveric kidneys have been shipped to centers in 48 states for transplantation to HLA-matched patients. We evaluated the efficacy of the program during its first 12 years of operation.Keywords
