there is no ratio for either transplant list, the wait time on kidney listing is probably smaller. for the liver an unstable patient gets the preference at some times otherwise no matter what race, if they are on the list, they get the liver on their turn, you could get the numbers on the waiting list from transplant centers, just write to them, good luck

In Ohio, you can go to a free care dental clinic in Cleveland.....Dentists from the area take one day a month and do totally free dental work for people below poverty level. Hope they do that in your state.......

it all depends on your state medical criteria...and what kind of health you are in at the time donation is needed...if you have multiple medical problems that effect the organs then more than likely they wont use anything from you...most states have a transplant office...try contacting them to find out exactly what you need to know...I know here in Maryland its called the Transplant Recovery Center....oh and for the kid up above me that gave you a BS answer...diabetes ISN'T contagious

When my brother passed away in a motorcycle accident we had his organs donated.  They do not keep your body in a locker, the organs have to basically be fresh and alive so your body is kept alive on a life support machine.  Once the organs are removed, (his heart and liver) they are put on ice and flown by helicopter to a patient waiting in the surgery room for the donated organ.  This is all organized very quickly so the recipient of the organ is notified and sent immediately to the hospital for transplant surgery.   They can only take from a body what you or your family allow.  Some people donate their whole body to medical schools and forensic studies.  It was a great feeling to know that someone lived their life with the help of my brothers organs.  We never found out who recieved them but it would have been nice to meet them.  \n\nIf you want to research this further go to your search bar and type in Organ and Tissue Donation Programs and read the listed sites.  I hope this helped answer your question - I hope other people learn from this and make a wise choice in their life.  Once you are gone you might as well share what is left to benefit someone else in need.

Having been a child of renal problems and a kidney transplant receiptant in my adult years, I would suggest that you contact the local chapter of the National Kidney Foundation in your area. They may be able to give you information about clinical trials and they may be able to get your son into a trial. \n\nYou can find your local office of the National Kidney Foundation by going to http://www.kidney.org/ and clicking on the Find local offices and events link in the upper right hand corner. I wish you and your son the best of luck.

If you are from India, at Chennai, Stanley Medical College hospital is doin a lot of dialysis practically free...then, there is Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences at Puttaparthy, Andhra Pradesh where all the treatment is free of cost...I understand that dialysis and transplant too are being done...I am not sure of other centres in India....but the latter is a good option if you are in India...you will need only all the treatment details. But if it is end-stage chronic renal failure and dependent on dialysis, risks of not doin dialysis are high

If someone in your family needed a kidney? \nLets say that this person had sexually abused you as a child, would you still give them one of your own kidneys? (Most healthy people can live with one kidney). Would you do it?\n\nYes...you are definitely correct! Healthy people can live with one kidney.\nBut not every healthy people can right away donate kidney. As a donor, you need to undergone a series of examination test such as HLA compatibility test to identify the degree of rejection probability by recipient to your kidney. As FYI, every single individual is unique, even identical twin can reject the kidney of his/her sibling twin.\n\nThat is why doctors uses immuno suppresant drugs and steroids after surgical operation to minimize or delay the rejection time of the tissue implant.\n(If you are familiar with the movie film "THE ISLAND", they used the technology of clonning to solve the issues of tissue implant problem.)\n\nAs for the question of family dilemma...that is the hardest part. It will took me a couple more time before i answer your question. Because of considering i was sexually abused by this person....it is very traumatic!! Maybe after i finally agree to donate my kidney, he/she is lying 6 feet under the ground.\n\ni hope this one is helpful to you!

Under a general anaesthetic, the new kidney is put into place, just above the groin. The artery to the kidney is sewn on to one of the lower abdominal arteries. The vein coming from the kidney is sewn on to one of the veins in the lower abdomen. The ureter which drains away urine is sewn into the wall of the bladder. Your own kidneys are not removed. A catheter is placed in the bladder and remains for 7 to 10 days until the bladder is healed. Sometimes the new kidney starts working at once. A lot of urine is passed. In a few patients, urine is not passed for some days, and occasionally not for some weeks: dialysis will continue to be needed during this time. Special drugs that suppress the so-called immune system are needed as soon as the kidney is put into place. These drugs aim to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney. The drugs used are steroid (cortisone-like) drugs like prednisolone, together with azathioprine and cyclosporin. These drugs are taken as tablets once or twice a day. Some transplant centres use an additional drug, ATG, which has to be given directly into a large vein, usually in the neck. If the transplant is successful, with no complications, then the stay in hospital may be as short as 10 days. If there are problems the hospital stay may be several weeks.

I received a kidney from my aunt in March. She really wanted to do it, and she did very well. She had surgery on Thursday and was out of the hospital 2 days later - Saturday. Up and walking around and going to restaurants and visiting ME in the hospital. \nThere is a very small risk of death from the surgery itself. I like to think of it as equivalent to a few years worth of normal traveling around in a car. So, you have to think whether the risk is worth it to you. Also, there is some higher risk of lingering pain or other post surgery problems. My aunt is doing fine. Statistically, I don't think they've found any increased likelihood of disease, except maybe a slight tendency toward slightly higher blood pressure. \nThey do advise you not to take Advil (ibuprofen) or other NSAID medications for pain relief, I believe. \nThe best website I know for living organ donors is\nhttp://www.livingdonorsonline.org/\nLots of info, and personal stories, and a bulletin board for discussing it all, both good and bad.\n\nSome info from livingdonorsonline:\n"These studies and others like them strongly suggest there are few if any consequences from donating a kidney. However, some precautions naturally are in order. For example, you may need to limit or give up activities that could damage your remaining kidney, such as rough contact sports (boxing or American football). Pregnancy for the most part is not a problem following donation, but a female should let the obstetrician know they have only one kidney so kidney function can be monitored.\n\nAs noted above, some studies have shown a slightly higher risk of high blood pressure and proteinuria. These risks can be managed and monitored through regular physical exams, blood tests, and urine tests."
