So depressing that I know this-another ICU nurse nugget. I have never heard of them even considering a diagnosis of RSD when patients are evaluated for organ donation. I would think that the biggest concern would be live-donation due to spread for the donor. However, considering some of the speculation about "causes" and "predisposition" for development of RSD recently on the board, I don't know that it would be a 100% non-contributor. However, I assure that they take A LOT of organs which are marginal at best-you wouldn't even want to know-the least of a person's worries would be RSD. Though, you've got to wonder about those who have spread to their abdominal organs...
