What is organ transplantation?

Organ Transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a healthy organ or tissue is transferred from one person (the donor) to another (the recipient) to replace a diseased or failing organ.

Who can be an organ donor?

Anybody, regardless of age, race, or medical background, can donate organs. Organ donation can occur from deceased donors (individuals who have passed away and consented to organ donation) or living donors (usually family members or close friends who donate a kidney, part of their liver, or other compatible organs or tissues).

How are organ matches made?

Organ matching for transplantation involves assessing blood type compatibility, tissue compatibility (HLA matching), organ size, medical urgency, and waiting time on the transplant list. Recipients must receive organs from donors with compatible blood types and tissue markers to minimise rejection risk. Organ size should match the recipient's anatomy for optimal function. Medical urgency and waiting time on the transplant list also influence allocation. The transplant team evaluates these factors to identify the most suitable donor organ, aiming for successful transplantation and improved quality of life.

What is the organ transplant waiting list, and how does it operate?

The organ transplant waiting list is a national database maintained by transplant centres and organ procurement organisations that matches transplant candidates with available organs. Patients are placed on the waiting list based on their medical urgency, compatibility with available organs, and other factors. The allocation of organs is regulated by national transplant policies and guidelines.

What are the benefits of organ transplantation?

Organ Transplantation brings transformative benefits, including improved quality of life through restored organ function, extended lifespan by addressing fatal conditions like heart or liver failure, and alleviation of symptoms associated with organ dysfunction. Recipients experience increased independence from medical devices and therapies, along with enhanced mental health, as transplantation provides hope and reduces anxiety. Furthermore, recipients can engage in physical activities previously restricted while benefiting from a supportive social network.

What can I expect during the evaluation process for Organ Transplantation?

The evaluation process for Organ Transplantation involves a comprehensive assessment of the recipient's medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging studies, and psychological evaluation. The transplant team will assess the recipient's suitability for transplantation, identify any potential risks or contraindications, and provide education and counselling about the transplant process.

Can I receive an organ transplant if I have other medical conditions?

Eligibility for organ transplantation depends on various factors, including the severity of other medical conditions, overall health status, and the potential impact of these conditions on transplant outcomes. Some medical conditions may require optimization or treatment before transplantation can proceed, while others may be contraindications to transplantation.

How can I become an organ donor?

Individuals can indicate their desire to be an organ donor by registering with their state's organ donor registry, indicating their wishes on their driver's license or state identification card, or expressing their intentions to family members. It is essential to discuss your wishes regarding organ donation with your loved ones and healthcare providers to ensure that your wishes are honoured in the event of your death.

How long does it take to recover from Organ Transplantation?

Recovery time varies depending on the type of transplant and individual factors. Most recipients stay in the hospital for a week or longer after surgery and require several weeks to months for full recovery. Regular follow-up appointments and ongoing medical care are necessary.

What are the risks associated with organ transplantation?

Like any surgical procedure, organ transplantation carries risks, including infection, organ rejection, and complications from immunosuppressive medications. However, our team takes every precaution to minimise these risks and maximise the chances of a successful outcome.
