Scandiatransplant Scandiatransplant is the organ exchange organization for the countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Estonia. It covers a population of about 29,5 million inhabitants. It is owned by the eleven hospitals performing organ transplantation in these countries. The office is located at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
Purpose of Scandiatransplant to serve as a common organ exchange organisation and allocation resource for its member hospitals including kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, pancreatic islet, liver cells, composite graft, intestinal and multivisceral transplantation. This is done transparently, using ethical principles and in full compliance with the national legislation of the members countries, to maintain and operate a common waiting list for transplantation, to ensure complete traceability from organ donors to patients, to maintain and operate follow-up registries of transplanted patients, to maintain and operate follow-up registries of living donors, to serve as a collaborative platform through specialized working groups and advisory groups in order to facilitate best practice recommendations and policies optimizing retrieval, allocation and transplantation of organs, and to form a collaborative network for the member hospitals to promote research and development related to organ donation, allocation and transplantation.

Pancreas and Islet Transplantation
Exchange recommendations Pancreas If there is no suitable recipient in own centre, the pancreas (and kidney if SPK) is recommended to be offered to AB0 compatible recipients in other centres. The centre at the highest position on the rota list accepting the pancreas will receive it and be put last. Shipment of a kidney is only performed if no other kidney exchange obligation with higher priority (as defined by Scandiatransplant) exists. The receiving centre has the responsibility for the pancreas procurement. The receiving centre has to payback, as soon as possible, with an AB0 identical kidney of a quality acceptable to the recipient centre. There is no mandatory payback for the pancreas.
