  1. Controversies Meeting 7-8 May 2011 Prof R.S.Britz and Nephrology Panel Kim Crymble Transplant Coordinator. Johannesburg Region Allocation of Deceased Donor Kidneys 2011.

  2. In the beginning..prior to 2004 • Kidneys were allocated in a 50 / 50 split between the state and the private sector to patients on the waiting lists. • The allocation was on Hla matches and negative cross match. • High PRA’s viewed as a reason not to allocate an organ even with a negative cross match a decision made by SANBS not the attending Nephrologists.

  3. Regional Demographics • In Johannesburg we have 3 Health Care Providers where Renal Transplant are performed • CMJAH as the State Sector facility who provides Renal Transplantation for all State listed Patients Johannesburg and surrounding areas but also from Klerksdorp and Polokwane. • Netcare ( Milpark and Garden City Clinic) and Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre who provide Transplant Care for the Privately funded Patients.

  4. Health for all and access to Care • It was always viewed that the State Sector Patient should always have equal access to Health Care as Organs Donated are from the community and should be for the benefit to all within the community. • So despite where donors are identified and harvested we had an allocation of one kidney to state and one kidney to the private list.

  5. Private Vs Public Sector Harvested donors Johannesburg Region.

  6. Total Number of Donors Johannesburg 2010: 35 Donors

  7. The current Allocation. • The Allocation has evolved in the last few years. • Based on an evaluation of all the currently used allocation systems worldwide and adapted for our Region. • Any decision related to the current system has been debated and accepted by all members of the Academic Renal Panel in Johannesburg.

  8. Deceased Donor Kidney Allocation • The allocation system is Point based • Mostly a Time based system • Excel spread sheet run after defining system • Scrapped 50:50 system in 2010 • Now everyone on one allocation list State and Private • Kidneys allocated to individuals not centres • State organ still largely sponsored by private

  9. How does the Point System work. 1 year = 1 point Minimal (No) HLA weighting 2nd and subsequent transplants penalized by 3 points Paeds get preference (extra points) Only 6 high PRA patients X matched at any time Top 30 patients cross matched

  10. Age matched kidney allocation • Non-Expanded criteria Kidneys • Kidneys from Donors under the age of 55. • Expanded Criteria Kidneys (ECK) • Kidneys from Donors over the age of 55 or 2 of the following • if the death has been due to a CVA, • history of Hypertension • Serum Creat levels are over 150. • Allocated to > 40 yr old recipients only • >55 yr old patients only eligible for ECK

  11. Minimum Donor Data required for allocation of Kidneys. • Non Expanded Criteria Donor • Age • Expanded Criteria Donor • Age / Date of Birth • Serum Creat • Medical History
