Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article regarding a study of kidney transplants. In the U.S. some 93,000 are on the kidney transplant wait list. Despite this some 3500 donated kidneys are tossed out. Because the kidneys are considered of lower quality from older and comorbid donors. Researchers compared U.S. transplants with France from 2004 to 2014. In that time period of the donated kidneys the French transplanted twice as many. Then with a computer model set about seeing how many of the U.S. kidneys would be transplanted using the French criteria. Some 62% more transplants would have happened in France.
