Kidney Transplantation in Australia Renal Replacement Treatment Transplantation? Dialysis?
Renal Replacement $11,000 $82,000
Renal replacement is treatment for end stage kidney failure • 2,000000(14%) Australians have chronic kidney disease • A proportion will require Renal replacement treatment • Indigenous Australians are at higher risk • Rate of end stage kidney disease is 9 to 30 times non indigenous

Kidney transplant trends in Australia 1963-1980 • Early days of Transplantation 12-18 month wait
Kidney transplant trends in Australia 1981-2007 • 50% are live ( related, altruistic) donations

Australia Prevalent Patients Per Million
$ in millions treating all end stage kidney disease George Institute Modelling
Kidney Transplantation in Australia • Has the best outcome and a proven effective treatment • Pre-emptive ,planned live donation is optimal and preferred • Both cadaver kidney and live kidney donation are steady state and less available in real terms. • Waiting times are (unconscionably) long • Recurrent costs are significantly less • Cumulative costs for end stage renal failure are colossal
First Kidney Transplant? Professor Ewing, RMH 1956
How does it work? Tissue typing and X-matching
Blood from Organ Donor HLA Typing - DNA Crossmatching NSW/ACT recipients Data into NOMS Interstate recipients if on lists Allocation Lists Read Crossmatches Allocation of Kidney by Lifelink Final Allocation Lists
Initiatives • Australian Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Authority $67 mil for dedicated Drs $46 mil for establishment costs $17 mil for hospitals $13.4 mil for national awareness $1.9 mil for counselling

What may be done • Double the cadaver pool to 22/1000000 population? • Not obvious how to do it • Double the live kidney pool? • Costs • Compensation • Honors list
