I can't speak for the others, but I had a bi-lateral lung transplant on 08/26/04 due to Cystic Fibrosis.  The surgery and medical charges related with the recover were $250,000-$300,000.  There are also the immunosuppression medications that are necessary for the rest of my life and those are several hundred to several thousand dollars a month depending on the patient's insurance/medical program coverage.\n\nIf temporary relocation is necessary, which is not uncommon, then there are costs for that as well.  With my transplant program we are required to stay in the area of the hospital for 3 months post surgery and it can be longer if there are complications.  It's rarely, if ever, shorter.  There is also the time from when you're notified you're "at the top of the list" until the appropriate organs are available.  Depending on the match requirements that can be a short or long period of time in addition to the availability of the needed organs.

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/

per area like abdomen about $2,500-$3,500.......i had it done but don't recommend it unless you are active and have your diet under control.  otherwise you will gain the weight back in your problem areas.  everything boils down to proper diet and regular exercise.

I would guess that it would be in the field of biochemistry. Perhaps cloning will be the next big thing, where we may be able to growth individual organs for transplants.

Do a search on Ebay for comparable organs.

there is no ratio for either transplant list, the wait time on kidney listing is probably smaller. for the liver an unstable patient gets the preference at some times otherwise no matter what race, if they are on the list, they get the liver on their turn, you could get the numbers on the waiting list from transplant centers, just write to them, good luck

Transplant Surgeon.  Traditionally, an M.D. (or D.O.) who has completed general surgical training (5 to 7 years of residency after med school) and then completed a transplant surgery fellowship (at least 3 more years in most cases).  \n\nTransplant Surgeons do both the organ harvesting from donors and the implantation of the donated organs in the recipients.

Consult a transplant doctor who will get you the database for possible recipients.

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..

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

Check it out... I can answer seriously...\n\nI gave my kidney away to a friend 8 or 9 years ago. Honest and no joke. Our tissue matches up like brothers and he has not had an issue with rejection. My kidney dr. is all pissed at me though for not drinking enough water through the day... kidney stones and all...\n\n I have often wondered about the tissue though. What is the DNA of the grafting and connecting tissue from my old kidney to his body anyway?\n\n I won't even go into the spiritual side of it... Yes the Bearded One has a spiritual side...\n\n I'm watching this question though. Nice to know I'm not the only one who has thought about this...\n\nIf you ever want to give up a kidney however, Swedish Med on the hill in Seattle is THE BEST!!!\n\n The actually made me a steak, Rare! AT 4:AM!!!\n\nI also proposed to a nurse while in the morph drip... that was fun.\nGetting the cath out was a pain...\n\n But I'd do it again.

It's not that they work better together, it's just that you can't get a pancreas transplant without needing a kidney transplant as well.  The train of thought is that it is not worth all the antirejection meds and the surgery just to get off insulin shots, but it is if you are getting off insulin and dialysis.
