Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) is normally associated with deceased or living kidney donors. They are also referred to as donors with "medical complexities".〔Reese R, Caplan A, Kesselheim A, Bloom R. Creating a medical, ethical, and legal framework for complex living kidney donors. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 2006; 1: 1148–1153.〕 ECD donors are normally aged 60 years or older, or over 50 years with at least two of the following conditions: hypertension history, serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl or cause of death from cerebrovascular accident. Of the 9319 living kidney donations reported in the American Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) / United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database from July 2004 to December 2005, 368 (4.0%) donors were over the age of 60 (of which 86 () were over the age of 65), 956 (10.3%) had hypertension, 2785 (29.9%) had an eGFR < 80 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (of which 392 () had an eGFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2) and 1194 (12.8%) had a BMI > 30 kg/m2 (of which 250 () had a BMI > 35 kg/m2)〔Iordanous, Y. et al. Recipient Outcomes for Expanded Criteria Living Kidney Donors: The Disconnect Between Current Evidence and Practice. American Journal of Transplantation 2009; 9: 1558–1573〕 The concept of ECD was raised to address the discrepancy between demand and supply in kidney transplantation. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expanded Criteria Donor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
