Can you stop a heart transplant?
Once surgery is underway, transplant surgery can be stopped totally before the diseased organ is removed. There have been a small number of surgeries when it was discovered that the new organ would not work in that patient. But, generally speaking, once a surgery has begun, it is completed.
How many people have successfully had a second liver transplant?
Depends how you define "successfully". i.e if you mean "have only had two, and are healthy afterwards, requiring no further liver transplants", as opposed to "have had at least two" (which would include people who may have been quite healthy after the second, but eventually needed a third etc...)
What happens to the organs after someone has an organ transplant?
If you mean the recipient's original organ, on the consent form for the transplant operation there is a tick-box saying "I allow my original organ to be used for research purposes". Ticking this allows the original organ to go off to the lab for research and analysis. Unless there is any reason to keep it for further use after this has been done, it will be incinerated. Most people seem to tick this box. If the recipient does not want their original organ to be researched on, it just goes to be incinerated.
How can you possibly get mononucleosis without kissing?
Mono is mainly transmitted by saliva so sharing a drink with an infected person has risks. Organ transplant patents get Mono also. If the organ came from someone that had been infected at one time then the virus is in the organ and the person receiving it can succumb to it.

Can kidney transplant patient drink green tea?
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH RELATED DECISION. I personally have been a green tea drinker all my life till I had a kidney transplant. My transplant doctor explained the following reasons why patients with an organ transplant should not drink Green Tea. 1. One reason why a transplant recepient takes transplant drugs is to suppress their immune (lower their white cell count) to prevent organ rejection. Green Tea raises one's immune system which may be good for a normal person but not a transplant recepient. 2. Also, the transplant drugs have chemicals that help the body to accept the new organ. Green Tea basically detoxify ( removes the potent of the transplant drugs) which may be good again for a normal person but dangerous for a transplant recepient. The Green Tea flushes the transplant drugs out of the system which suppose to always stay at a constant level (That is why taking your transplant meds at the right time is very crucial for the survival of the transplanted organ). To sum it up, if you are a transplant recepient don't drink GREEN TEA. However, ask your doctor because everyone has different circumstances. And remember to protect and cherish that life saving organ which had been given unselfishly out of love.
How do you decide who gets put at the top of a heart transplant list?
It depends how long you've been waiting, if you are fit for transplant at the time, if you've got a ventricular assist device, if you are in hospital, if you are on inotropes or other IV medication. Lots of factors.
How do you clone organs for human transplant?
Organ cloning for transplant involves taking a small amount of a patient's cells, growing them in a lab to create a new, genetically identical organ, and then transplanting that organ back into the patient's body. This technology is still in the early stages of development and has not yet been widely used for human transplants. It holds promise for addressing the shortage of donor organs and reducing the risk of rejection.
How long can an organ live after it is removed from a dead person?
If it is preserved adequately, they usually remain usable (i.e usable for transplant) for 8 hours once they have been removed from the body. However the time varies depending on what kind of transplant it is; hearts have a shorter usable time outside the body, corneas can be out for a couple of weeks.
