Transplants (SNT).The success rates of a transplant are higher in cases of living donors, compared to the rates of kidneys from cadaver donors. To be suitable for kidney transplantation from living people, it requires exams in addition to compatibility tests, detailed clinical and psychological investigation of the recipient and donor. Regarding the parameters adopted for cadaver donors, they are aimed at the absence of restrictions and the possibility of organs for transplantation.
