Introduction
Every two years we are honored to publish this important document for the global medical
community, specifically for those who are connected to the practice of transplantation in Latin
America and the Caribbean. In 2009, the Latin American Transplantation Registry celebrates
17 years of contribution to the experts from countries of The Transplantation Society of Latin
American and the Caribbean and the Pan American Society for Dialysis and Transplantation.
This is a joint effort of all these societies.
The vast majority of countries advanced in the number of transplants performed, which
proves that professionals are better prepared, hospitals equipped, and the population more
aware regarding the donation of organs and tissues.
To better understand the dynamics of each of the countries that are part of this record, we
establish the objectives of The Transplantation Society of Latin America and the Caribbean
and more. We show the performing countries transplants, the beginning of transplantation
activities, which are the transplantation organizations, donation national societies and
organizations, and explain the transplantation law, the donation and transplantation activities
by country, advances and difficulties.
We hope that you enjoy this material, and we are glad to be able to help you in your work.
Good reading.

Transplantation Laws
a. Legislation against organ commerce Almost all countries have
b. Legislation for unrelated living donation (URLD) • In some countries it is forbidden
Argentina and Uruguay
• In other countries there are restrictions
Brazil: previous judicial authorization (new law, 2010):
requires previous approval of hospital ethical committee,
health state secretary and, finally, legal official consent
• In other countries there are no restrictions
Chile, Puerto Rico, Bolivia and Peru
Chile: no URLD kidney transplants (except spouse)
c. Legislation for transplant for nonresident patients from other countries
• In some countries it is prohibited
Uruguay
• In other countries there are restrictions
Chile: needs to live at least five years in the country
Colombia: allows if there are no nationals waiting for this organ
• In most of countries there are no specifications
Brazil (proposal from ABTO for a new law: to prohibit transplants to non residents aliens)

Family refusal to donate
The family refusal rate is not different from that observed in developed countries. We can observe that it decreased in Colombia and Brazil; did not present modification in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Cuba; and increased in Peru.
Method for analysis of family refusal is not uniform in Latin America.

• All countries have transplantation laws.
• The donor deceased rate is still very low: 5.8 pmp, but it is increasing.
• The potential donor rate notified is low (less than 40 pmp in most of countries).
• All countries perform renal transplantation.
• The number of kidney transplants is increasing (7.5% to the year).
• The number of other organ transplants is small and performed in only a few countries.
• There is an increasing number of countries performing other organ transplants.
• Limited health coverage for the population in many countries.
• Some local problems: transplant tourism.
Conclusions
84
Latin America Transplantation Report 2009
Future Steps
1. To obtain financial coverage for all the population.
2. To prevent or banish any form of transplant tourism or organ commerce:
• To improve the deceased donors rate (>10 pmp).
• To increase the living related donation rate for kidney transplants (15 pmp).
• To create National Registers, with transplantation results.
• To create Registry of living donors (kidney, liver, lung).
• To develop all transplant programmes.
for all Latin America countries
