General information

Transplantology

Transplantology is a branch of medicine that studies the problems of transplantation of organs and tissues, such as kidneys, liver, heart, bone marrow, skin, etc. Transplantology has several directions: 

 1. Xenotransplantation - transplantation of organs and / or tissues from an animal of a different biological species than a person.

 2. Allotransplantation - transplantation in which the transplant donor is a genetically and immunologically different human body. 

3. Autotransplantation - the transplant recipient is his donor for himself. For example, transplantation of human skin in case of burns from undamaged areas to burned ones. 

4. Artificial organs are substitutes for natural organs. 

5. Cloning of organs from stem cells.

A kidney transplant in Belarus involves three phases:
The kidney is taken from the donor (if it is alive relative of the patient, then the organ is taken laparoscopically, which means there is less risk of injury, and recovery of the donor itself will take much less time);
The organ is being prepared for transplantation;
The transplantation surgery itself (general anesthesia is used, the time of surgery is from 3 to 8 hours).
As a rule, the patient’s own kidneys are not removed. And for the safety of the transplant, it is mandatory to take drugs aimed at artificially suppressing immunity.

After transplantation, the diet is systematically changed until the newly appeared kidney begins to work in full.

When the clinic discharges the patient, he is instructed to observe safety and maintain vital functions.
