Pediatric Organ Transplantation

Pediatric organ transplantation is a medical procedure where a child's failing or damaged organ—such as the heart, liver, kidneys, or lungs—is replaced with a healthy organ from a donor. This process can save or significantly improve a child's life. The transplant involves matching the donor organ carefully to ensure compatibility, and after surgery, the child will need medications to prevent rejection. Advances in medical techniques and immunosuppression have increased success rates, making transplants a vital option for children with severe organ diseases, helping them live healthier, more active lives.
