Abstract:
Under the background of severe shortage of donor organs and organ donation after citizen's death becoming the main source of donor organs in China, expanded criteria donor (ECD) has been widely applied in clinical practice. However, ECD has the disadvantages of basic diseases, old age, trauma, shock or infection, which will affect the quality of donor organs to varying degrees and become one of critical factors affecting clinical efficacy of organ transplantation. The recipients of ECD organ transplantation will also bear the additional risk and uncertainty of efficacy brought by ECD organs. Hence, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of the recipients’ rights and interests. In this article, ethical issues faced by ECD organ transplantation in recipient protection and the shortcomings in the ethical review of organ ethics committee were reviewed, and suggestions on the ethical review institution and system construction of the rights and interests of organ transplantation recipients were elucidated, aiming to provide reference for promoting the advancement of ECD organ transplantation.
