Overview of Organ Transplant Treatment
Top Packages
Organ transplants are fairly common these days, but it wasn’t so long ago (1960s) that most transplant patients had very poor chances of survival. Today however, thanks to medical discoveries, drugs and experience, organ transplant patients have a much higher survival rate, by the aid of drugs like cyclosporine, which help to reduce rejection and infection. Today, the transplant of major organs, as well as anatomical parts like hands and jaws are almost commonplace. Scientific research and development offers today’s transplant candidates and recipients greater than average survival rates for heart, liver, lung and other vital organ transplants. Even so, researchers are looking into new drugs and treatments (including adult stem cell) to help further reduce chances of rejection and increase survival rates for transplant recipients.
Needs Exceed Availability
Unfortunately, the need for donated organs far exceeds the availability of such organs, not only in the United States, but also around the world. Still a controversial topic in many countries and religions, organ transplants nevertheless offer many individuals a second chance at life.
Only about half the individuals who die each year in accidents or natural death have designated themselves as organ donors, which make it difficult to offer hundreds of thousands of individuals on organ donor waiting lists for vital organs such as hearts, livers and lungs. In the United States alone exist nearly 60 organ procurement organizations, and just over 260 transplant centers. Following are some interesting, and alarming quick facts about organ donation and transplantation:
- Nearly 4,000 individuals are added to waiting lists each month
- Thousands of patients die every year while waiting for a transplant
- Individuals from newborn to 65 years of age may benefit from an organ transplant
- Organ transplants are based on urgency, blood type and body similarity
