Preguntas frecuentes

  • How many people need organ transplants?

    Solo en los Estados Unidos, hay más de 120,000 personas en listas de espera para trasplantes de órganos. Desafortunadamente, simplemente no hay suficientes órganos donados, lo que resulta en un promedio de 18 personas que mueren cada día mientras esperan trasplantes.

  • ¿Qué son las donaciones de órganos y los trasplantes de órganos?

    The first successful adult human kidney transplant was performed in 1954. Over the past 50 years, many successful organ transplants have occurred. Transplants now involve every major organ, various tissues and cells (such as kidneys, hearts, lungs, livers and bone marrow). Organ transplant survival is steadily increasing, and successful transplants now lead to an improved quality of life. Medical technology continues to improve, and transplantation has become a life-saving procedure for many with congenital or chronic conditions or diseases. Research studies continue to focus on preventing graft rejection and the development of new anti-rejection drugs and therapies that are less toxic and more effective. Scientists also continue to learn about the body's immune system, which contributes to a further understanding of transplantation and other immunologic diseases and conditions.

  • How do I become a living organ donor?

    Las donaciones de órganos de donantes vivos pueden tener muchos beneficios para el receptor. Si está considerando convertirse en un donante vivo, el primer paso es completar nuestro cuestionario confidencial de historial de salud en línea. Un coordinador de donantes vivos revisará su información. Si es elegible, el coordinador se comunicará con usted para revisar su cuestionario del historial de salud y responder cualquier pregunta que pueda tener. Luego, trabajaremos con usted para obtener la aprobación financiera de su seguro para las pruebas.

    Si se aprueba, se le realizará una evaluación médica y social exhaustiva para determinar que goza de buena salud y que no hay nada que lo ponga en riesgo adicional de futuros problemas de salud relacionados con la cirugía, la anestesia y la donación. Presentaremos los resultados de la evaluación al equipo de trasplantes para determinar su idoneidad para la donación.

    If you’re approved, we’ll schedule the transplant. Living donor liver transplants and living donor kidney transplants are available at the Baylor Scott & White transplant centers.
