Organ Transplants

Artificial organs have been a dream of doctors for decades and are now just beginning to become a fact. Simply they are implantable and fully functional human organs that did not require a human organ donor, or human organs that have been synthetically grown from cultured human cells.

The usual method being done now uses a computer 3D printer to construct a biocompatible plastic structural framework in the shape of the desired organ, then introduce the desired cultured human cells. The cells grow inside pores in the framework and usually seem to develop the normal functions they would have in a natural organ.

If the transplanted liver's function is exactly the same as a normal liver (i.e it's fully working), then some alcohol drunk infrequently won't do any harm (1-3 units). But a transplanted liver does damage more easily and may take slighly longer to filter out alcohol than a normal liver. And if your liver function is not fine (transplanted liver or not) , you should not be drinking .

That is difficult to say as there are other factors that need taking into account. But a kidney from a living donor should last at least half as long again or more, assuming most other factors are the same.

It contains few cells and no blood vessels.

Transplants can be rejected by the body primarily due to the immune system recognizing the transplanted organ or tissue as foreign. This occurs because the donor's cells have different antigens than the recipient's, leading the immune system to mount a response against the transplant. Factors such as genetic differences and the presence of pre-existing antibodies can further influence the likelihood of rejection. To mitigate this, transplant recipients are often prescribed immunosuppressive medications to help prevent rejection.

A patient may not receive a kidney transplant due to several factors, including the presence of significant comorbidities that could complicate surgery or post-operative recovery, such as severe heart disease or active infections. Additionally, factors like non-adherence to medical treatment, substance abuse, or a lack of social support can disqualify a patient from the transplant list. Moreover, the availability of donor organs and prioritization criteria based on urgency and compatibility also play crucial roles in determining eligibility.

It's probably the skin if you are trying to get the whole thing also the skin is the fastest organ to be rejected from the body

Dr. Victor Chang began his pioneering work in heart transplantation in the early 1980s. He performed Australia's first successful heart transplant in 1984. His contributions significantly advanced the field of cardiac surgery and made a lasting impact on transplantation practices in Australia and beyond.

Kidney and Liver. It's not that they're the most common operations, it's that the risk of death is lower. Heart transplants happen more than you'd think, but if it goes wrong you usually die. Whereas if a kidney transplant goes wrong, you can go back to dialysis until you try again. And you can also survive a few days with a failed liver, which gives you time to find another transplant. However you cannot survive a few days with a heart that doesn't work.
