US May Be Tossing Too Many Donated Kidneys


 



Every day, 12 Americans die while waiting for a kidney transplant. In what will be an especially hard pill to swallow for the 93,000 Americans currently on the waiting list, about 10 donated kidneys are discarded in that same period, reports USA Today.

A study published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine found that 17.9% of kidneys donated in the US over the decade ending in 2014 were rejected (28,000 kidneys in all), compared to 9.1% in France.

In 2016 alone, about 20% of 3,631 donated kidneys in the US were discarded, per CNN.

France, it turns out, is more willing to use kidneys from older donors or those who have an ailment such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or Hepatitis C.

Researchers cite the "intense regulatory scrutiny of US transplant programs, which may lose credentials if their one-year death and graft failure outcomes exceed predicted outcomes."

Meaning, the programs don't want to risk their credentials and opt to use only organs in the best condition.

But patients "using kidneys from diabetic donors do remarkably well," study co-author Sumit Mohan of the Columbia University Medical Center tells USA Today.

QUESTIONS:
1) Discuss the gravity of American deaths while on the kidney transplant waiting list. How comparable is it to the number of discarded kidney in the country?

2) How does America¡¯s intense regulatory scrutiny affect the riddance of the organs?

3) How willing is France to utilize kidneys coming from old donors with certain diseases?

4) As per Sumit Mohan, how relatively good was it to use transplanted kidneys from diabetic donors? Do you find this believable?

5) Share your thoughts on grafting organs from diverse sickly donors. Do you think there are some likely side effects?

VOCABULARY/EXPRESSION:
Hard pill to swallow - something, especially a fact or piece of news, that is unpleasant or difficult but which is unavoidable or must be accepted
