Furthermore, many potential DCD donors fail to progress to asystole in a manner that would enable safe organ transplantation and no organs are recovered. DCD protocols are based upon the principle that the donor must be declared dead prior to organ recovery. A new protocol is proposed whereby after a donor family agrees to withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments, premortem nephrectomy is performed in advance of end-of-life management. Since nephrectomy should not cause the donor&#8217;s death, this approach satisfies the dead donor rule. The donor family&#8217;s wishes are best met by organ donation, successful outcomes for the recipients, and a dignified death for the deceased. This proposal improves the likelihood of achieving these objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Morrisey PE.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/15265161.2012.671886\">The Case for Kidney Donation Before End-of-Life Care<\/a>.
