Abstract
Using kidneys from deceased donors whose demise was secondary to ethylene glycol (EG) toxicity requires considerable thought and planning. The exact impact that kidneys from these donors could have is unclear. The shortage of viable organs and growing wait list mortality should lead us to consider these allografts as potential life-saving transplants. Because it is crucial for the transplant community to use every available allograft, we need to develop processes that optimize each possible scenario. This article is a discussion of the viability of kidneys from a donor with EG-induced brain death and a proposed algorithm for encouraging the use of renal allografts after EG toxicity.
