Abstract

 Objective: To investigate the feasibility of converting liver donations into effective transplants in Western Paraná, evaluating the performance of the Western Paraná University Hospital (HUOP) in 2024 and comparing it with state indicators. Methods: A retrospective observational study including 77 potential organ donors evaluated at HUOP during the period. Unit data were compared with those from the Paraná State Transplant System (SET-PR) to analyze efficiency and barriers to organ procurement. Results: HUOP showed a conversion rate of 58.6% for all organs, higher than the state average (38.4%). The unit consolidated itself as a decentralized regional center, contributing with 15 liver transplants. For liver procurement, clinical and laboratory criteria were the main limiting factors (42.38%), followed by family refusal (17.38%). Conclusion: The high conversion rate confirms HUOP’s effectiveness within the state network. However, increasing liver procurement requires improvements in family approach and documentation standardization to optimize donor management and ensure organ eligibility according to national guidelines.
