Abstract:
:Due to increasing global mobility, the number of non-residents who are potential deceased organ donors is likely to increase as well. Since 2014, 14 deceased foreigners have been referred as potential organ donors in Poland. There are, however, no precise international agreements between Poland and other countries regulating this issue. The aim of this paper is to provide guidelines on this subject for transplant coordinators. While there are no differences in the algorithms of potential donor identification, death diagnosis, donor management, organ procurement and preservation, allocation, transportation and transplantation, and the medical evaluation of a foreigner as a potential organ donor may differ. In certain cases, the risk of tropical or endemic infections should be evaluated. The authorization of the procurement may differ as well-foreigners who are not listed in the Polish Electronic System for Registration of Population cannot be registered in Polish Central Registry of Objection. They may have also not expressed refusal or consent for donation due to different legal solutions in their home countries. The donor's family and the proper diplomatic representative must be involved in donation process in order to obtain authorization for organ donation, to acquire essential medical information about the donor, and to ensure the transparency of the process. The procurement of organs, tissues and cells from foreigners deceased in Poland may be performed provided that a proper donor qualification process is conducted, the deceased had not objected to donation, there is no objection on the part of the donor's family or the prosecutor (if required), and the donation and procurement are properly described in medical documentation.
