Organ Transplants

False.

There is a large amount of vitamin A gained from eating liver; this is why pregnant women are advised not to eat liver regularly.

Biopsy usually. Ultrasound may help, but might not give enough detail about the injuries.

A There are few things more horrible than salary negotiations - except perhaps a total lack of them, which, since it's the situation you seem to find yourself in now, we'll deal with first. I'm having to scrabble around a bit for clues here - a profession, sector or role might have helped me give better advice - but I'm assuming your boss has failed to explain why you haven't had a rise for two years. Knowing why, of course, would not make things any easier financially, but it might at least soften the blow of seeing your salary diminish in real terms. Which is, of course, what is happening every time you don't get an annual pay rise - particularly in a climate where the cost of basics, such as food and energy, is rising. There is nothing to say that an employer has to give you a cost of living pay rise each year, though you'll find that most do. That is up to you to negotiate. The only real exception I can think of is if you are working for the minimum wage, in which case it is worth keeping an eye on its current rate. So what should you do? If at all possible, I'd be tempted to find out if your colleagues are in the same situation. It can be difficult to talk to colleagues about salaries, but you don't need to demand to know what people earn. Maybe just ask at coffee time what the deal is with pay rises - do people tend to get a yearly rise automatically, or do they have to go and talk to the boss? Your colleagues shouldn't get too prickly at that kind of question. What happens next may be more difficult. If nobody has had a pay rise then there is at least the hope of strength in numbers. You can approach management as a unit and ask, at the very least, for an explanation of why there hasn't been a cost of living rise in two years. There is also the option of joining a union and negotiating through it. But I'm a little worried that you will find other people have had pay rises. And the reason they've wheedled some more cash out of the boss? Mainly because they've asked. You seem so desperate to avoid any potential conflict that you'd rather ask me about your pay rise than the person who can actually award it to you. You need to be stronger about being paid what you are worth. So how should you go about asking for a rise? You don't say whether you've ever had an appraisal at work, but I'm guessing not - negotiations about cash often go hand-in-hand with reviews of how you're doing - so arrange one now. (Although if I'm honest, this doesn't exactly send out good signals about your employer: no appraisals, not a murmur of any cost of living pay rise, let alone promotion - it's not exactly selling itself as company of the year.) Don't find a new job just yet though (although if I were you I might well consider starting to look for one). Instead, ask your manager if you can have a meeting about how you're doing at work - say it's been two years and you think this is a good time to consider your role, your development, and your potential within the company. After ensuring your boss is happy with your work (which may, of course, be another reason why you're not getting any extra money - have you ever checked that you are performing well enough?) then you should raise the question of pay. Talk about moving up within the company as well as the salary scale. Find your voice. Negotiating around money is never pleasant. But you have to start the conversation to find out how your boss will react.

Viagra is contraindicated in anyone with "severe renal impairment". However since you've been transplanted, one would hope that the transplant is functioning correctly so that you do not have any "renal impairment". However, the other risk is that you may be on post-transplant medication which interacts with Viagra, in which case it is really advisable to check with your consultant (or even your GP) that it's safe for you to take; they have databasing software which will flag up if you're on anything with interacts badly with Viagra.

There are other conditions which contraindicate using Viagra and since your consultant/GP does have access to your full medical record, it's best to check with them.

Yes, he can still father a child, kidney transplants do not affect fertility.

Routinely transplanted organs are: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, small intestine and cornea. Other transplants are available, but are not routine. Some organs are just not routinely transplanted because you can live without them, e.g stomach, bladder, spleen, colon etc... (Yes, you can live without your stomach, it's only the small intestine which is necessary for food absorption.)

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo until unless there is no option left!!!!!!

A transplant nurse applies to many roles, including but not limited to: nurses who care for those waiting for and organ (pre-transplant/waitlist), bedside nurses who care for patients immediately post-transplant, clinical nurse specialists and nurse educators, all who work with transplant patients and recipients.

A transplant coordinator is the nurse who coordinates care of the patient immediately following surgery through the rest of the patient's life. Coordinators can be in-patient or out-patient coordinators, caring for those in the hospital or those patients who are back in the community after receiving their new organ(s). Coordinators follow their patient's care for life, with regularly scheduled appointment for blood draws, medication adjustments, regular check ups and so on.

Yes! Because a success rate of a hair transplant is somewhere between 95 and 98 percent and in some cases even a 100 percent success rate.

In the US, selling a body part is illegal. Furthermore, there is a network for people to donate their organs, at no cost. I have attached a good site for more information.

Update; if this were true, it would be illegal to be compensated for giving blood or plasma, hair for cancer patients, or sperm/eggs for the purpose of reproduction, yet these activities happen so regularly that they are almost routine, and even sanctioned by state agencies.

As a matter of fact, the attached site from the original answer covers the basics of compensation for transplantation which can be read about here; http://organdonor.gov/transplantation/index.htm To answer the question, there is no set price, rather what an insurance company (some do compensation for transplants) or individual will pay. On average, people selling transplant options expect between $35,000-$50,000 US. However, given that some will do it for no compensation, while others being a much needed match to a financially capable recipient can get well into the six figures, so again the price is not set.

The first heart transplant was performed in December 3,1967, on Louis Washkansky by surgeon Dr. Christian Barnard, at the Groote Schuur Hospital in Capetown, South Africa.

The first human liver transplant was performed in 1963, and since then, thousands of liver transplants are done every year.

Genital warts will not interfere with a kidney transplant. There may be an exacerbation of warts due to immunomodulating drugs.

Although popularized in fiction (TV, films), it is extremely rare to have "direct donation" of hearts (e.g. from a dying relative or friend). The "elective donor" process is becoming a common procedure for kidneys and for sections of the liver, where the donor will continue living after the transplant. But the heart is almost always a total transplant, and has to come from a recently deceased donor, one who dies from something that does not damage the heart. Doctors cannot approve the deliberate death of a healthy person even if it means saving another.

That was the finale for season five. It is titled, "The End." It aired on December 4, 2005.

A person approved for heart transplantation is placed on the heart transplant waiting list of a heart transplant center. All patients on a waiting list are registered with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).

Yes you can. Just make sure your body has totally healed and kidney working to the satisfaction of the doctors.

Yes, they can. Donating a kidney does not impact upon fertility.

Lance Armstrong had prostate cancer which was treated by surgery and chemotherapy. He has definitely never required a solid organ transplant, and as far as I can ascertain, he has never had a bone-marrow transplant or stem-cell transplant either. However prednisolone does turn up in most chemotherapy regimes (in fact, predisolone is used in to help treat many medical conditions).

Think about it this way: if you knew that there were 100,000 patients on the waiting list for a kidney and that 18 of them died every single day while still waiting, whom would you want to see get your gifted kidney go to: someone who's trying their darnedest to be well or someone who continues to engage in self-destructive behavior?
