Despite the increasing demand for organs for transplantation, the number of cadaveric donors remains stable and waiting time for transplantation is gradually getting longer. In addition to the options of using kidneys from living donors and those of non heart-beating donors (NHBD), an alternative approach is transplantation of both kidneys from adult marginal donors who would otherwise be considered unsuitable for single-kidney donation. Dual kidney transplantation involves the use of both kidneys from a marginal donor for a single recipient without the recipient having to cope with the drawbacks of a limited number of functioning nephrons. Normally. these kidneys would be excluded from the transplantation program and remain unused. The submitted presentation provides information on donor and recipient selection criteria and describes the course of the first dual kidney transplantation in an adult recipient in the Czech Republic.
