What is the most common transplant?

Answer 2

It depends on the definition of "success". All transplanted tissue (except from one's own body, as far as I know) faces rejection by the body. Success sometimes is measured by the length of time the organ is not rejected. Kidney, liver, heart & lung have all been successfully transplanted. A liver will re-grow from just a piece of liver. Kidney transplants are almost common, and there would be more, if more donor kidneys were available. A person with renal failure or some sort of kidney disease or failure, stays on dialysis until a matching kidney is located by the National Kidney Foundation, and is not based on need but by waiting for a match.

Answer 3

The first successful transplant - of a kidney - occurred in 1953. The organ was not rejected because donor and recipient were identical twins and therefore genetically identical. However, new drugs such as cortisone, which appeared in the 1950s, and cyclosporine, which arrived on the scene in the late 1970s, were developed to lessen the problem of rejection. Combinations of drugs are now used to prevent rejection in transplant patients. The most common transplanted organ was the kidney and the heart transplant.
