We frequently remove the spleen both from injury but also as a means of treating other illnesses such as thrombotic thrombocytopaenia purpura. It is not necessary to replace the spleen as it is basically a recycling center of hemoglobin. There are very few side effects but we may wish to check your blood count from time to time to insure that your iron levels are fine.

Spleen is useful to\n \n1) filter for your blood, cleansing it of bacteria, viruses and other debris. When blood flows through your spleen, white blood cells attack and remove any foreign invaders. This keeps your blood clean and helps protect you against infection.\n\n2) Destroying old red-blood cells\nRed blood cells have a lifespan of around 120 days, after which your spleen breaks them down. The red blood cell remains are transported elsewhere in your body where they are excreted or recycled to manufacture new red blood cells.\n\n3) Making blood cells\nBefore birth, foetuses produce red and white blood cells in their spleens. Shortly before birth the spleen loses its ability to make red blood cells and bone marrow takes over this job. The spleen continues producing infection-fighting white blood cells throughout our lives.\n\nWhat happens if spleen is removed (Living without a spleen)\nIt is possible to live without a spleen as most of its functions can be taken over by other organs. However, people without spleens are more vulnerable to all kinds of infections.

I live in SC but the community health center will do it for like $50 if you are a low-income family. It's not free, but it sure does cost a lot less than the alternatives!

I am a kidney donor and I received nothing but the feeling that I had helped someone have a better life. I have never heard that it is legal to sell a kidney. The one you donate to normally their insurance pays all medical bills for you. As how you will suffer from only having one I couldn't take morphine so I basicallly had tylenol. The joy of doing this far out way the suffering you do.  I would up and about within 2 weeks. My husband just informed me that in Indonesian countries he thinks allows selling of organs and he think it is for about $100,000. But I wouldn't consider such an offer. If you give to get something out of it. Think twice, you save a life and for that you may have 3 or 4 days of discomfort.

depends how close you are to canada. you'd spend money going there and back and maybe have to spend the night. That all adds up. My blood work is about $220 (total) when I have it done, but it might be different for gastric. Explain to your doctor that you don't have insurance and they might be able to send you somewhere.

I had a tiny one removed by a plastic surgeon, and I think it  costs around $150.00, BUT the price is higher than average because since it's a mole, it HAS to go to a lab for a biopsy and that is included in the price.

I've been donating plasma for almost two years, twice a week.  It is comparable to donating blood.  You do have a chance of bruising if you are not "stuck" right, but that's happened to me perhaps 5 times.  There is slight scarring after a while but it's hardly noticeable.  As far as pain, if it is done right you hardly feel it when they put the needle in your vein.  Each time you go in, they will prick your finger to test your blood for protein level and look at it for fat content, and hurts a bit.  It is so worth donating plasma.  It helps so many people and you get paid for it! It takes me 45 minutes to donate the maximum amount of plasma.  I make $50 a week, but you can make more, depending on the program in which you are enrolled.

On the average, approximately $23.00 per hour.  A lot has to do with the area you are located in and if it is in a hospital setting.  I hope that this helps you!

Yes, it depends on your medical /mental condition, your Dr. will decide that point.\nI had my first transplant in Dec.1995 it lasted for 10 years, I had a Pancreas transplant in Dec. 2000, and my third transplant, a kidney in Dec. 05. As long as you want this to happen, and your health is good it will happen.\nA piece of advice, DO NOT wait for UNOS to find you a donor, get out now and find a living donor, family, friends , if you go to church ask anyone and every one to be tested, you will be surprised who will say yes, and even more surprised who matches you..\nGood luck\nfeel free to e-mail me any questions you might have..

Average fee (outside of New York) including surgeon, anesthesia and operating room for one area is reported to be $2500-4500 and for three areas is $5500-7000, so two areas ought to fall somewhere in the middle between those ranges.

I think they have package programs where you can get 20 teeth implants for $15,000\n\n   But tooth transplants can have long term rejection.  That means that in like 10-15 years they may get inflamed & need to be replaced again.
