Organ Transplant Treatment

In organ transplantation treatments, Medjourney Health Services provides services with kidney, liver and pancreas transplantations in adult and pediatric patients with high patient and organ compatibility, high survival, with its technological infrastructure and experienced Doctor staff.

In organ transplant patients, the donor must be a first-degree or second-degree relative of the patient.

Medjourney Health Services includes experienced organ transplant surgeons, adult and pediatric nephrologists, adult and pediatric gastroenterology specialists and organ transplant coordinators. In addition, adult and pediatric patients are served in separate intensive care conditions after surgery and when needed.

All advanced procedures needed after transplantation, especially interventional procedures in the Gastroenterology clinic, EUS, ERCP, and radiology clinic are performed by experienced physicians.

The best treatment for end-stage organ failure is organ transplantation. The most important expectation for transplant patients is that the transplanted organs function for a long time. For this purpose, follow-up and lifestyle changes after surgery are important.

In this process, where there is a chance to live again, a close follow-up is required for the early diagnosis of problems that may occur, especially the effects of the drugs used.

Which organs and tissues are transplanted?

In recent days, kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, small intestine, bone marrow, cornea and bone are the most transplanted organs and tissues.

Who is transplanted to?

A healthy and quality life in patients with end-stage heart, liver and kidney failure is only possible with organ transplantation. There is no limitation on age numerically. What is important is the general health status of the person and whether he has a chronic health problem. If this condition is met, the organs of the donated person in each age group are used. When the patient comes to the transplant center, he is taken for a detailed examination. The issue of transplantation is discussed in the organ transplantation council with multidisciplinary participation and it is decided whether to transplant or not. Contrary to what is known, the number of patients who are not suitable for transplantation is very small. Diabetics and patients with hepatitis B and C (jaundice) can also have a kidney transplant. In living donor patients, tissue incompatibility has no effect on the transplant decision. Again, although some patients have donors, in cases where transplantation cannot be performed due to incompatibility of blood group or immunological tests, this problem can be eliminated with the method of cross transplantation (matching with another couple with a suitable blood group).

In organ transplantation applications, documents proving that they are relatives between the patient and the donor are requested from the country of origin of the patient govermental places are requested. These documentations shpuld be prepared by patient. These documents should be proved a personal identity registration copy  that they are first or second degree relatives between the donor and the patient then apostilled by the embassy of patient origin.

 Previous medical reports of the patient are requested. Relevant health examinations of the patient and donor are performed again and all results and documents are submitted to the organ transplant approval committee after evaluation by specialist doctors. After the transplant approval jury approves the transplant treatment, the treatment begins.
