Скачать или смотреть How the national organ transplant waiting list works

The shortage of organs causes most patients to wait for a transplant. Waiting times vary widely for many reasons. Contrary to popular belief, waiting for a transplant is not like taking a number and waiting your turn. In some respects, even the word “list” is misleading because the list is really a giant pool of patients. When a deceased organ donor is identified, UNOS’ computer system generates a ranked list of transplant candidates who are suitable to receive each organ. Matching is the key to connecting individuals waiting for a lifesaving transplant with compatible donor organs. Explore other FAQs about organ donation & transplantation:
