living donor transplant

A living donor transplant is a surgical procedure where a healthy person donates an organ, such as a kidney or part of the liver, to someone in need of a transplant. This can happen because a living donor can typically live with one kidney or a portion of the liver. The procedure offers several advantages, including shorter waiting times and better transplant success rates. The donor undergoes thorough medical evaluations to ensure compatibility and safety, while the recipient receives a chance for improved health and quality of life. Both parties are monitored closely throughout the process.
