Pancreas organ allocation
A national allocation scheme for kidney/pancreas and pancreas alone (Pancreas Allocation Scheme) was introduced in the UK on 27 August 2003 to provide a formal, open basis on which to exchange pancreata for transplantation to benefit potential recipients.
The scheme was agreed by the UK Transplant Kidney and Pancreas Advisory Group and was ratified by transplant unit Directors.
The National Protocol for the Assessment of Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Patients has been produced to reflect and amalgamate existing policies produced by the kidney and pancreas transplant centres in the UK and has been endorsed by the UK Transplant Pancreas Task Force.
