Negligence To Avoid With Organ Transplant

Organ transplantation has been one of the most effective treatment, and by far the only treatment to help with organ failure, for instance heart, kidney, and liver failure. Such organs and tissues are essential to carry out the proper functioning of our body; any damage to the organs could lead to death as well. Among all transplantations, kidney transplantation has been carried out globally and most frequently, as it has been cost effective as well as life effective.

Organ attainment for transplantation requires organs removal from the deceased person’s body. There is also living donor transplantation where the donor is rather alive and is able to live with one part of the organ such as one part of lung or kidney. But such removal process requires legal requirements that are to be followed, where consent has to be signed.

There are also certain negligible risks with donation of organs:

·         First is the consent, consent is a must necessity that cannot be neglected, ensuring the consequences of the process. Also for the living donors, a proper follow up to track the consequences and potential risks, and all this information has to be disclosed to the patient with an informed consent.

·         Many times the disadvantaged individuals have been neglected with the welfare of living kidney donors, where they are encouraged and exploited to sell off their kidneys, which many do for the sake of money. But in such cases they are left with the risk of no follow up after the procedure.

Such negligible risks can be avoided when you know the rights and risks related to the transplantation process. A proper follow up procedure is required from time to time to avoid anyrisks, and a donor should be aware of any such risks, prior the transplantation, through an informed consent form.
