What does the son Broken mean from Lifehouse?
"I took a trip out to Nashville, Tenn. This was actually the last song to make it on the record. I flew out to Nashville with no other intention than to see my friend, who is on a dialysis machine everyday. He basically needs another kidney. He's going through a second kidney transplant. It broke my heart to see him like that and basically inspired me all at the same time. I hung out with him that day, and I went back to my hotel room, and I was really restless. I just couldn't sleep. It was one of those songs I really look forward to writing, because it almost wrote itself. I woke up at three in the morning, and I just got out the hotel paper, and I just started writing. It basically happened in 15 minutes, and I hadn't written a song like that, that happened that fast, since Hanging by a Moment." -Jason (amp.az interview)

What important transplant breakthrough happened in 1954?
First successful kidney transplant (one identical twin to another, since ciclosporin was not yet discovered).

A story about someone needing a organ replaced?
I have had a kidney transplant. About 1987 I was diagnosed as having Polycystic kidney disease (PKD). In 2003 my kidney function had dropped to about 12% and I started haemodialysis. I had to go to my local hospital 3 times a week for 4 hours each time to do dialysis. I was taught how to use the machines and one was installed in my house so I could do dialysis at home. This gave me the freedom of when to do dialysis but is would take 6 hours each time (including setting up and cleaning the machine). This was a big chunk out of my day! In 2007 a friend offered me one of his kidneies. He went through the various test required and it was found that his kidney was compatible with me. August 2007 I had a kidney transplant. The transplant has given me the opportunity to lead an almost normal life. I have had some problems since the transplant buut the kidney itself is functioning very well. Hope this is the sort of thing you are looking for.
Why is it that a person that gives a kidney to someone else can survive with one kidney but the other needs two?
The person recieving the kidney does not normally require two, so long as the donated kidney is working fully. Usually a "kidney transplant recipient" just means that they've gained one extra kidney (since the originals are not normally removed) - this is the standard procedure. However a transplanted kidney has a life of about ten - 15 years, which means that eventually they may need to be transplanted again.
What if my daughter has been having all sorts of problems since she received this kidney transplant?
You should go back to the transplant doctor if anything really serious develops. High temperatures etc... Some problems which initially appear very serious may in fact just be infections, which are treatable with high dose (possibly IV) antibiotics. Sometimes it may take a 2-3 months for a complete recovery from the transplant. If the transplant does not appear to work, another may be necessary.
What were the Transplant developments since 1954?
they have got better
What were the transplant developments in 1954?
The transplant development that happened in 1954 was the development of clyclosporine. This helped revelutionised the history of transplants. Actually, ciclosporin was developed in the 1970's. The 1954 development was the first successful kidney trasplant between two identical twins. (They had to be identical twins since ciclosporin had not been developed; the donor had to match perfectly).
What is the growth on the left side of leakey's head?
Possibly linked to his previous health problems. Kidney transplant or the fact that he lost both of his legs. Seems odd that no one has explained this since it's so obvious & unique to put it mildly.
Which Organ transplant are the most successful?
To a certain extent that depends upon the definition of "successful" - it could be considered to be "lowest mortality rate", "longest life expectancy after surgery", "most likely to result in a functioning graft (transplanted organ)". Depending on which criteria you use, the answer will be slightly different.Kidney transplants have the lowest mortality rate due to a combination of reasons. Primarily, when a kidney is transplanted, the recipient's original kidneys are not removed. It is simply a case of adding a third, which hopefully works. But in turn, this does mean that if the transplanted kidney does not work, the patient should not be considerably worse off than they were pre-transplant. At this stage they would go back on dialysis until another kidney was found.Another reason for a low mortality rate for kidney transplants compared to other organ transplants is the availability of living-related donors. This means that there are more kidneys available for transplantation, which in turn means that patients are marginally "healthier" when they receive a kidney transplant, compared to transplant recipients of other organs. The healthier the patient is, the better the outcome after transplant (but of course, a completely healthy patient would not need a transplant. It's all relative.)However, the "lifespan" of a transplanted kidney is lowerthan for other organs such as livers and hearts (and this is why the answer to your question is not clear-cut). To clarify, I mean lifespan of the transplanted organ is lower, not the lifespan of the person who received the transplant; retransplantation of a failing graft is quite commonplace. (At which point the first transplanted kidney would probably be removed and replaced by another transplanted kidney).The reason behind a transplanted kidney's reduced lifespan is because kidneys are directly responsible for having to filter out immunosuppressives and other medication a transplant recipient has to take. These medications are necessary to ensure the short-term health of the graft but in the long run they cause some kidney damage (regardless of what organ was transplanted). But the damaging effect of the drugs (called "nephrotoxicity") is slightly magnified in kidney transplant recipients.Next to kidneys, livers have the second lowest mortality rate of transplant. This is slightly remarkable, since there is not an (good) equivalent of "dialysis" for liver failure, meaning there is no fallback to help a patient's health to remain stable. By the time a patient is ill enough to reach the top of a waiting list for a liver or heart transplant, they are very ill indeed. And at this point it's quite extraordinary that the numbers of patients surviving the transplant surgery is as high as it is.
How has the development of ideas and techniques since the 1800 led to the present success of transplant surgery?
The ideas have kept on rolling on !Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins. But after this resaerch showed that this only happened becasue the twqins had identical immune systems so they wouldn't reject the organ. They then came up with immunosuppressive . Hi Caitlin :)

What is the normal range of tacrolimus level?
I had a kidney/pancreas transplant 9 months ago. My last tacr level was 10.7, which my coordinator called "toxic." - way too high. It should be below 9. at 9 months post-op, he said it should be around 6-8. Sorry, I don't know what the Low-Normal number is, but it's probably not much below 6. Normal range=5 to 16,it must be below 14 after 3 month post transplant. Ranjan Ravi,belapur,navi mumbai.
