Organ Transplants

If it wasn't placed in a solution, germs and very harmful bacteria would attack it and the organ would die.

Yes, Tracy Morgan had a kidney transplant. He has diabetes and struggled with alcohol abuse which necessitated a kidney transplant in December of 2010. He received a kidney from a friend named Tanisha Hall.

none. Sorry that procedure is impossible at this point.

The cost of a lung transplant is quite high and can cost about $400,000 for a single lung transplant and $800,000 for a double lung transplant. You can receive help from anyone to come up with the funds to be put on the lung transplant list.

most health insurance plans do cover transplants...but not all.

I need an inner ear transplant. My cochlea was destroyed. I had an ear infection that was never diagnosed correctly. I never recieved the proper medication for it. I was diagnosed with bacterial. My actual illness I had was viral labyrintitus. It’s not right at all. The drs. I had did not sit down with me to properly diagnose my illness. If their is a surgeon that can do this, please contact me.

It is disposed of as medical waste, incinerated to my knowledge.

The surgeons cut the patient open and insert the new kidney. The existing kidneys are not removed, even if they're failing. It is considered an unneccessary risk and potential complications could arise due to how they are positioned in the abdominal cavity.

Since the originals are not being removed, the new one is placed in the patient's pelvic area, taking its blood supply from the iliac vein and artery rather than the renal.

The same way that a toddler can have liver failure, or heart failure; the organ may not have formed properly when the baby was developing, or it may be a genetic fault, or an auto-immune reaction, or the result of a virus. A toddler may have been brought up by the best parent's in the world, but still have organ failure - it is not a reflection on parenting skill. And youth does not guarentee health.

The first successful kidney transplant was performed to the Herrick twins in 1954.

The purpose of any organ transplant is to return the patient to a normal life. This includes work, play, travel etc. There are some activities which require an exceptional cardiovascular status (climbing Mt. Everest without additional oxygen) which might be contraindicated but these are not common.

Given that kidney transplant recipients are on life-long immunosuppression after transplant and that one of the long term side effects of long-term immunosuppression is lymphoma and cancers, especially skin cancers, it would seem inadvisable to expose oneself excessively to sunlight in order to accomplish a mere 'sun tan'. Better to consider one of the spray tan parlors or alternative cremes and nostrums that 'color' the skin to mimic sun exposure.

It's started with an electric shock.

because if they were not in the special solutions the germs have the chance to attack them so they will die.and it will not work

Cetian plans do.. Howver, most cover only "up to acertan amount." Check wit your agent togt detail!

Because the valves are mechanical, it's not the same as a regular human heart. The regular human heart doesn't last as long as the mechanical heart because the real heart has a shorter lifespan. Eventually the heart gives out, but when it is a mechanical heart, it lasts longer than an real heart. I believe that is the reason why.......

Patients with transplanted livers have to stay on immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent organ rejection.

No. God would want us to help our fellow man by giving them their life back. What good is an organ to a dead person? And I wonder why God gave us two kidneys and made the liver regenerate? Could it be that it was meant for us to offer a kidney to someone else or a lobe of liver knowing we could survive quite happily doing that?

1950's. (It's not entirely clear what sort of answer you require to the question - whether it's a year, location, or something else... The year (1954) was my best guess.)

Organ transplantion in itself is not exploiting the poor. But often poor people will try and sell a kidney because they need the money. Also rich people will travel to poor countries such as India and offer to buy a kidney. It is the poorest of people that will sell their kidney. That is exploitation.

It is possible to divide the liver into eight pieces, each supplied by a different set of blood vessels.
