They don't buy your kidney. It's all donations. (Buying kidneys is what the black market does!) And if you're trying to find information, just talk to your doc or talk to a hospital administrator. They'll know, and if they don't, they'll know who to refer you to.

Only one way I know of- Kidney transplant, but then you have to worry about organ rejection.
985964
Kidney transplants usually extend a patients life somewhere in the range of 10-20 years, assuming that the body does not reject the new organ and no other complications occur.\n\nIt is unusual for a patient suffering from chronic autoimmune disease such as Lupus to be eligible for a kidney transplant. Lupus attacks the bodies cells and organs making rejection incredibly likely.\n\nBest of luck to you and your sister.

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.

Well, your better off taking the insulin for now because the surgeries are expensive as hell and time consuming. They have isilets of langerhan transplants and pancreas transplants, they have insulin pump transplants and insulin pump therapy. All but the insulin pump therapy requires you to take drugs 6 months in advance to shut down your immune system to ready yourself for a transplant and then you have a 60% chance of rejection if your lucky enough to get a pancreas to begin with so if your ready emotionally, physically, and finacially to go through with it good luck, like i said just get a bottle of insulin and some syringes and tough it out.

it all depends on your state medical criteria...and what kind of health you are in at the time donation is needed...if you have multiple medical problems that effect the organs then more than likely they wont use anything from you...most states have a transplant office...try contacting them to find out exactly what you need to know...I know here in Maryland its called the Transplant Recovery Center....oh and for the kid up above me that gave you a BS answer...diabetes ISN'T contagious

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

i am not sure of the laws pretaining to transplants in India but if its anything like in the states, her Doctor would have to put her name on a list to recieve  a Kidney from either a donor who has passed away and willed there organs away, or a live donor, because you can live with 1 kidney, well anyway they have a set of parameters for matching organs to reciepients, the closer the match the better, so my advise would be to contact her doctor or a transplant hospital to get the process started as soon as possible, as dialysis does not work well for some people.

in the us of a, and any other western civilized country, it is illegal to sell or purchase any type of organs. when selling it illegaly, which i would not recommend at all, you will not get the money you need anyway, because the people conducting the surgeries are the one's who make the buck. not you.\nan other problem will be, that you have just one kidney left, that can cause trouble too, because now, one organ has to do the work of 2. most of the time it does work, but it's not guranteed. when donating a kidney once you are still alive, you have to be adonor doing it WITHOUT any money background. after your death, over 50 organ/organ parts can be used to help the same amount of people, but your family will not receive any money either . thats why this is called 'organ donation'. \nplease do not consider that as an option. good luck with solving your problems in a different way, i dont think selling your organs will help you and your problems on the long run.\n\ngood luck

Like any organ, a heart loses its transplantability rather fast, so it needs to be taken out of the donor as soon after death as possible.  Special personnel do this and then type the heart (or other organ) to see if it can be transplanted into someone on the waiting list (that's how it works in the USA).  If so, they pack the organ in ice, put it in a cooler, and fly it wherever they need to go with it... :)

Beijing Xiehe Hospital seems to also be known as the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The website is at\nwww.pumch.ac.cn/ \nbut it is in Chinese. If you search for it on google, it will offer to translate it for you. I don't know whether it has specific organ transplant info.\nHere's a link to the Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.) info on kidney-pancreas transplants.\nhttp://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Transplant/Programs/kidneypancreas/

I have never heard of a person being able to have more than one heart transplant. You are certainly a blessed man. Here are a few links to stories about people who received two organ transplants. I hope you find these stories helpful. Please try to speak with the doctor handling your case as he would be the best person to give you a prognosis.\n\nGood luck...\n\nhttp://www.sbhcs.com/services/renal/newsletter/issue_7/gift.html\n\nhttp://www.transplantweek.org/members/vol2/news/013605.htm\n\nhttp://www.aetnapharmacy.com/AP/ihtAP/r.WSIHW000/st.9339/t.32966.html
