Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• The Transplantation Society (TTS): TTS is the global umbrella professional society for organ transplantation, with which ABTO now has a formal affiliation (Jan 2025) granting all ABTO members automatic TTS membership. It is the international counterpart and now a strategic partner rather than a pure competitor.
• European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT): ESOT is the leading continental European transplant society, organizing congresses, maintaining registries (EKHA-related data), and publishing transplant science. Structurally comparable to ABTO but operating at a European rather than national scale.

Regional players

• Sociedad de Trasplantes de América Latina y el Caribe (STALYC): STALYC is the Latin American and Caribbean regional transplant society; ABTO coordinates the regional Latin American Transplant Registry partly in this orbit. Overlapping remit in cross-border transplant coordination and education.

Direct peers

• American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS): ASTS is the U.S. surgical transplant society with a near-identical mandate to ABTO: professional membership, scientific publication, registry maintenance, and advocacy. Closest functional analog outside the Southern Hemisphere.
• International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT): ISHLT is a global society focused on thoracic transplantation, comparable in structure to ABTO's heart and lung transplant departments. Competes for scientific publishing, congress attendance, and member recruitment in overlapping specialties.
• Sociedad Argentina de Trasplantes (SAT): SAT is the Argentine national transplant society and historical regional counterpart to ABTO. Both organizations contributed to the Latin American Transplant Registry framework and compete for regional scientific leadership.
• Sociedad Española de Trasplante (SET): SET is the Spanish national transplant society and Iberian/Latin American peer. Comparable membership model, registry operations (ONT equivalent), and biennial congress cadence to ABTO.
• Sociedade Portuguesa de Transplantação (SPT): SPT is ABTO's direct counterpart in Portugal and joint host of the Luso-Brazilian Transplant Congress since 2002. Both organizations share the same professional-society structure, transplant registry function, and binational member base.

Others

• Associação Brasileira de Histocompatibilidade e Imunogenética (ABHI): ABHI is ABTO's closest Brazilian partner in transplantation medicine, focused on histocompatibility and immunogenetics. Members cross-associate between the two societies, and they co-organize scientific forums.
• World Transplant Games Federation (WTGF): WTGF promotes transplant recipient athletics globally; ABTO has supported Brazilian participation since 1998. Adjacent ecosystem organization in the transplant community rather than a direct peer.
