The aim of the work: to determine the dependence of the number of organ explantations in effective post-mortem donors on age and laboratory results.
Materials and Methods. The study included 14 post-mortem donors who underwent organ explantation between May 2021 and December 2021, of whom 56.3 % were men and 43.7 % – women. By age, the patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 – all donors; group 2 – under 50 years old, group 3 – over 50 years old.
Results and Discussion. According to the results of statistical data processing, it can be argued that the groups did not differ significantly in such laboratory parameters as the average level of creatinine, urea, sodium, ALT and AST, while at the same time there was a difference in the number of explantations for a particular organ.
Posthumous donation saves the life of at least 4 people at the same time. In Ukraine, the criteria for marginal donation are not spelled out and the criteria for donation are expanded. The age of the post-mortem donor is not a critical criterion for organ donation. The expansion of donor criteria partly covers the organ deficit. Follow-up studies in a larger group of patients are needed to further explore the effectiveness of donor use and post-transplant long-term outcomes.
