Organ Transplantation.2 These Guiding Principles - whose emphases include voluntary donation, noncommercialization, genetic relation of recipients to donors and a preference for cadavers over living donors as sources - have considerably influenced professional codes, national, state and provincial legislation, and the policies of intergovernmental organizations.

Patients3
The persistent and widening gap between patients' need for organs and the number available for transplantation has become a major concern to many Member States. (who.int)
Even between countries which have similar levels of health resources, patients' access to transplantation also varies. (who.int)
Moreover, for patients who have kidney failure, access to transplantation is reduced when funds are spent on other forms of treatment that are less cost-effective. (who.int)
Tissue3
The number of human tissue transplants is increasing in both developed and developing countries, but global data on this form of transplantation are less complete. (who.int)
In Europe, hundreds of thousands of tissue transplants are performed each year, and in 1999 an estimated 750 000 people in the United States of America received human tissue, twice as many as in 1990. (who.int)

Liver3
The transplantation of solid organs, such as kidney, liver, heart or lung, is increasingly a regular component of health care in all countries, and is no longer a feature of health care in high-income countries alone. (who.int)
This phase is characterized by poor control of blood counts with myelosuppressive medication and the appearance of peripheral blast cells (≥15%), promyelocytes (≥30%), basophils (≥20%), and platelet counts less than 100,000 cells/μL unrelated to therapy. (medscape.com)
Relieve2
Similarly, corneal transplantation can successfully relieve corneal blindness in many cases. (who.int)
In all three phases, supportive therapy with transfusions of red blood cells or platelets may be used to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. (medscape.com)
Treatment2
Moreover, for patients who have kidney failure, access to transplantation is reduced when funds are spent on other forms of treatment that are less cost-effective. (who.int)
The results showed that the surface area increased by a factor of 3.3, 2.0 and 1.8 referred to the parent CNFs after the treatment with KOH, K(2)CO(3) and KHCO(3), respectively. (nih.gov)
