Frequently Asked Questions

1
What is transplantology and transplantation

Transplantology — science of transplantation of organs, tissues and cells.

Transplantation — replacement of diseased or missing organs with a healthy one.

When a vital organ stops working and all treatments have been exhausted, a transplant is often the last chance to survive.

1
Who are donors and recipients

Donor — an organism from which organs, tissues or cells are taken for transplantation.

Recipient — human to whom the necessary materials are transplanted.

1
What organs can be transplanted

Allocate transplantation:

  • Organs: heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines,
  • Tissues: cornea of the eye, skin, heart valves, ligaments, bones,
  • Cells: cartilage, bone marrow stem cells, blood and umbilical cord blood, eggs.

Such operations are performed by specialists only in transplant centers — clinics that have received special permission for transplantation.

1
Types of transplant

Depending on the origin of grafts, different types of transplantation are distinguished:

  • Autotransplantation — transplantation of material from patient himself (hair, skin),
  • Isotransplantation — from genetically identical person (identical twin),
  • Allotransplantation — from stranger,
  • Xenotransplantation — from animals (pig heart valve).
1
Donor - living person or dead

There are two types of donation:

  • Living, in which a healthy person voluntarily transfers an organ to another person,
  • Posthumous — after a person’s death .

Several lives can be saved with a single posthumous donor: many different organs and tissues can be removed from a deceased donor. After that, they will again take on important functions in the body of another person.

1
When is transplantation necessary

When human organs are severely damaged and all other therapies are ineffective, transplantation is the last resort.

Indications for transplantation:

  • Complete irreversible loss of organ function,
  • Heart failure,
  • Liver cirrhosis,
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Severe burns and injuries of skin, limbs,
  • Leukemia.
1
What are the contraindications for transplantation

Absolute contraindications include:

  • Severe infectious diseases,
  • Malignant tumors with metastases,
  • Psychosis or alcohol dependence in the recipient.

Relative contraindications:

  • HIV infection, AIDS,
  • Multiple organ failure,
  • Generalized atherosclerosis.
1
What are the stages of transplantation

There are 4 main stages of transplantation:

  • Examination for possible transplantation,
  • Waiting for a transplant,
  • Transplant surgery,
  • Follow-up with regular check-ups and lifelong medication for rejection.

Number of patients awaiting donation exceeds the number of available donor components. For this reason, patients often wait for a suitable one from several months to several years.

1
What are the risks of transplantation

Today, transplants are routine operations for doctors.

Long-term survival depends on various factors:

  • Patient’s health condition,
  • Graft condition,
  • Possible rejection reaction,
  • Use of immunosuppressants.

Chances of success and improvement in quality of life depend on qualifications and experience of a doctor, as well as the clinic where transplant takes place.

1
What is a rejection reaction

The immune system protects the body from foreign transplants by developing rejection of transplanted materials.

  • The main reason for incompatibility of patients,
  • Rejection of graft occurs in 10-30% of cases and leads to graft damage,
  • Allocate hyperacute, acute and chronic rejection.

In order to avoid rejection reactions, it is very important that follow-up care is carried out regularly in a specialized center by experienced doctors.

The prevention and treatment of rejection reaction is based on continuous immunosuppressive therapy (immune system suppression).

Rejection is well treated with medication. Thanks to immunosuppressants, the chances that the donor organ will function well in the recipient’s body for many years have been greatly increased.

If hyperacute rejection develops (1% of cases), graft removal and re-transplantation should be discussed.
