transplants from living donors

A transplant from a living donor involves someone voluntarily donating an organ or part of an organ, such as a kidney or a liver segment, to a recipient in need. These donations are carefully planned and tested to ensure compatibility and safety for both donor and recipient. Living donor transplants often have better outcomes than deceased donor transplants because the organ is healthy and available immediately. The process includes medical evaluations, psychological assessments, and surgical procedures, all conducted with the donor’s informed consent. This approach can significantly improve quality of life and survival chances for patients with organ failure.
