Organ Transplants

A kidney transplant from a healthy donor is called a living donor kidney transplant. In this procedure, a healthy individual donates one of their kidneys to someone with kidney failure. This type of transplant can lead to better outcomes and a shorter waiting time compared to transplants from deceased donors.

Having herpes, whether oral or genital, generally does not disqualify someone from being eligible for a kidney transplant. However, the overall health of the patient, including the management of any infections, is taken into account during the transplant evaluation process. It's essential for patients to discuss their complete medical history with their healthcare team to ensure proper management and consideration for transplantation.

Yes, pneumonia can affect kidney transplant patients significantly. Due to their compromised immune systems from immunosuppressive medications, these patients are at a higher risk for respiratory infections, including pneumonia. Such infections can lead to complications, potentially impacting kidney function and overall recovery. Prompt medical attention is crucial to manage pneumonia in this vulnerable population.

The first successful tissue transplant is generally considered to be the corneal transplant, which was performed in the late 19th century. The first documented successful case was by Dr. Eduard Zirm in 1905, when he transplanted a cornea from a deceased donor to a patient who had lost their vision due to a corneal disease. This pioneering procedure laid the groundwork for future advancements in transplant medicine.

Usually the kind of pets you can have doesn't depend on the transplant ; it depends on the immunosuppressants you're on afterwards. If you're on any, you're advised not to keep birds as pets as their mess contains a particularly infectious disease. And for any pets that you do keep, they need to be kept clean and hygenic - use adequate protection from germs when cleaning them, or (even better), get someone else to clean them out. Wash your hands after handling them before you do anything else (such as eat dinner).

Most (common) transplants have been considered 'successful' since 1990. Ciclosporin (the first good immunosuppressant) was approved for use in 1983. From then on, success rates all improved dramatically.
