Rejection of Immunosuppressive Therapy, Organ Donation
Transplantation refers to the transfer to a recipient of an organ or tissue taken from a donor. The organs that are currently transplanted are: the kidney, the heart, the liver, the lungs, the pancreas, the intestine
The transplantation of a solid organ ( lung, heart, kidney, liver, pancreas and intestine ) is a surgical technique used since the 60s of the last century and has developed greatly in the years to come. The transplant allows to remove from the body of a man an organ that no longer works and insert in its place a new and functioning that comes from a donor (cadaver or living) to restore the function first irremediably compromised. The study was carried out with Andrea De Gasperi , director of the anesthesia and resuscitation unit 2 of the Niguarda hospital in Milan.
How to increase the chances of success of a transplant?
In recent years techniques have been developed to increase the storage time of an organ. By increasing the use of these procedures, you can make withdrawals and intercontinental transplants
The difficulty of long-term preservation of human organs derives mainly from the extensive tissue damage that is established when these are cryopreserved, due to the different ways in which they react
In cold the different cellular structures. But in recent years techniques have been developed to increase the storage time of an organ , so as not to frustrate the altruistic gesture performed by the donor and his family.
By increasing the use of these procedures, you can make intercontinental withdrawals and transplants with many more possibilities, for each patient on the waiting list, to find the organ that is waiting and save many more lives.
