A. J. Matas

American Journal of Transplantation
Early View (Online Version of Record published before inclusion in an issue)

"Prioritizing ideal DD transplants to children has resulted in decreased rates of living donation."

"One small step might be to promote a living donor as the primary (kidney) choice for a kidney transplant for children or for those in need of a multiple organ transplant."
Unrelated directed kidney donor in 2003, recipient and I both are well.
629 time blood and platelet donor since 1976 and still giving!
Elected to the OPTN/UNOS Boards of Directors & Executive, Kidney Transplantation, and Ad Hoc Public Solicitation of Organ Donors Committees, 2005-2011
Proud grandpa!
