Organ transplant

Organ transplant is a medical procedure where a healthy organ is transferred from a donor to a recipient whose organ has failed or is diseased. This practice is vital for treating conditions such as kidney failure, heart disease, or liver cirrhosis. Donors can be living or deceased, and compatibility between donor and recipient is crucial to reduce rejection risks. After the transplant, recipients typically require lifelong medication to prevent their immune system from attacking the new organ. Advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapies have greatly improved success rates, helping many patients lead healthier lives post-transplant.
