Szervbeültetés

Szervbeültetés, also known as organ transplantation, is a medical procedure where a diseased or damaged organ is removed and replaced with a healthy organ from a donor. This life-saving treatment is used for patients suffering from end-stage organ failure when other medical options are no longer effective. The organs that can be transplanted include kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, and intestines. Organs can be donated by deceased individuals or, in some cases, by living donors, such as a kidney or a lobe of the liver.

The process begins with a thorough evaluation of potential recipients to determine their suitability for transplantation. Once a suitable donor organ becomes available, it is carefully matched to the recipient based on factors like blood type, tissue type, and size. The surgery itself is complex and requires a specialized surgical team. Following the transplant, recipients must take immunosuppressant medications for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new organ. Regular medical follow-ups are crucial to monitor the organ's function and manage any potential complications. Szervbeültetés has significantly improved the quality of life and survival rates for many patients with organ failure.
