Any opion regarding his kidney transplantation from pathologic renal allograft? Very interesting concept for me. Especially nephrotic syncrome kidney put in other patient works normally!! Is that true? If it is it will be a breakthrough in the transplant community.
Welcome any opinion about his performance ethically or medically. Thnaks.

I read an article about this - transplanting diseased kidneys, correct? This sounds unethical. Firstly, experimenting untested treatment methods on humans is unethical. If it had first been shown in mice and other animals that transplanting diseased kidneys is a viable option, then perhaps, with the blessing of an institutional review board or other research governing body, it would be possible to do a small scale test. I do not know if, as you mention, the kidneys were actually functioning in the transplant patients normally; however, regardless of their function, I think implanting diseased kidneys is unethical because -it was not known beforehand if transplanting diseased kidneys would work-. In fact, it seems counterintuitive that they would work. So, if he was lucky enough to have this experimental treatment work, so be it. It was still unethical to try without knowing if it would work or not.
The potential for harm is too great if we as physicians began to do our own experiments on people. It is important to go through the regular steps of research using animal models first. While some treatments would work if we applied them directly to humans, others will not and may conversely cause harm. Thus it is important to do things like clinical trials so that we have reasonable confidence that it would work in humans.
If the patients were unaware that he was using diseased kidneys, this is a second point about why the doctor's actions were unethical.
