George Lopez had a kidney transplant.

This list of notable organ transplant donors and recipients includes people who were the first to undergo certain organ transplant procedures or were people who made significant contributions to their chosen field and who have either donated or received an organ transplant at some point in their lives, as confirmed by public information.

Contents

The list in this article can give the impression that we can only solve disease in ~35(see list below) of the ~90 organs we have in our body(see List of organs of the human body ). However very often we only transplaten a part of the Organ(tissue), a few examples are:

- Hematopoietic stem cell / bone marrow transplant for Leukemia [1]

- Corneal epithelial (limbal stem cell) transplantation against, against Severe ocular‑surface disorders [2]

- Islet of Langerhans transplantation against Type 1 diabetes mellitus. [3]

Thinking of whole organ transplant as the only commonly used method of transplantation against disease would be insufficient. However listing all possible tissue transplants is beyond the scope of this article for now.

Survival statistics

Survival statistics depend greatly on the age of donor, age of recipient, skill of the transplant center, compliance of the recipient, whether the organ came from a living or deceased donor and overall health of the recipient. Median survival rates can be quite misleading, especially for the relatively small sample that is available for these organs.[ citation needed ] Survival rates improve almost yearly, due to improved techniques and medications. This example is from the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS), the USA umbrella organization for transplant centers. Up-to-date data can be obtained from the UNOS website.[ citation needed ]

Artificial organ implants

The intention of this table is only to include successful implants, that is of course difficult to verify with implants that survived their medical records. For these it is enough if there is no indication that the implant was the cause of death.
