disorders & organ donation

A person donates an organ or tissue to another by surgically removing it from one and transferring it to another through surgery (the recipient). When an organ fails or becomes damaged due to disease or trauma, transplantation is necessary.

Modern medicine has made great advances in organ transplantation. Despite the fact that organ donors are in higher demand than they are available, there is still a great need for them.

Transplanting an organ after the donor dies, such as a heart, liver, kidney, intestine, lungs, or pancreas, into someone who needs them, is known as organ donation. 

Facts of Organ Donation- Donating organs is open to everyone, regardless of age, caste, religion, community, etc.

  • The decision to donate organs is based on strict medical criteria, not on age.
  • When a person dies naturally, tissues such as corneas, heart valves, skin, and bone can be donated, but organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, and pancreas can only be donated when there is brain death.
  • Transplanting organs such as the heart, pancreas, liver, kidneys, and lungs allow recipients whose organs have failed to live a normal life again.
  • A person under the age of 18 must have the consent of a parent or guardian before becoming a donor.
  • A serious illness, such as cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart disease, can prevent you from donating as a living donor.

It is possible to reuse some organs after a person has passed away. There is usually a waiting list at any given time of sick people looking for a matching organ; this is usually a very advantageous thing. Upon death, the organs of a person who has accepted to be a donor are tested to see if they are reusable. After transplantation, they are given to patients who are compatible with them.

Kidneys, bones, bone marrows, skin, corneas of the eye, hearts, livers, and kidneys are some of the organs that can be transplanted. The above discussion shows how vital it is for people who wish to donate their organs to consent to it in order to save lives.

Donate Blood- The process of donating blood is simple and safe. The blood donation process usually takes between 10-15 minutes. The minimum age for donating blood is 18 years old, and the maximum age is 60 years old.

Taking part in a blood donation event organized by an accredited institution or reputable blood donation center is a safe and secure experience. Afterward, a quick physical check will be performed to ensure you are a healthy donor, including monitoring your temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin levels.

A chair or bed will be provided if you have been deemed fit for donation. A thorough cleaning will be performed on your arm. Once the blood has been collected, it will be stored in sterile plastic bags using sterile equipment. One donation will result in the collection of approximately 350 ml of blood. The maximum amount of blood that can be donated by those who weigh more than 60 kilograms is 450 ml.

  • A light snack and something refreshing to drink is necessary after you have finished your work. There will be some snacks and juice available.
  • Within eight hours of blood donation, components will be separated. A laboratory will then test the blood.
  • Upon finding a safe location, it will be stored in a special storage area, and will only be released when necessary.
  • It is now time to deliver the blood to the hospital, so lives can be saved.

Liver Donation- Among the major organs transplanted here, the liver ranks second after the kidney, so the liver disease is obviously a serious issue. A liver transplant requires an organ from a deceased donor, whose family has given permission to donate the organ. Unfortunately, there aren't enough deceased donor organs available to meet the needs of the growing number of people in need of liver transplants today. There are many liver transplant candidates who become too sick to undergo surgery and some of them may even die while waiting for a liver transplant. Before becoming too ill to tolerate transplant surgery, a patient may receive a portion of a healthy liver from a relative or friend. Some patients may benefit from a liver transplant from a live donor. This is because the liver, unlike other organs in the body, can regenerate. It takes 4 to 8 weeks for both liver sections to regenerate after surgery.

organs and tissues Donations- Many people who are sick or dying can benefit from organ and tissue donation. In many cases, organ transplantation is the only hope for people who have a serious or critical illness related to organ failure. Often, transplanting organs and tissues from a deceased donor into a dying recipient involves removing the organs and tissues from the deceased donor. Hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, intestines, and pancreas are among the organs that can be transplanted. Heart valves, tendons, ligaments, bone, skin, corneas, scleras, and other eye tissue can be transplanted.

Disorder

A disorder is a collection of problems that cause significant difficulties, distress, impairments, and suffering in a person's daily life.  When it comes to disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder definitely hits all the right boxes.

Putting disorders in a little more perspective, they are physical or mental conditions that affect the processes of everyday life and have a negative effect on the way people act and behave. An individual's normal functioning can be hampered by them because they consume so much time.

Disorders, by their nature, are flexible, so they are not always obvious in all circumstances. Thus, a disorder can vary from person to person. There are also disorders that may be chronic, relapsing, or remitting, and it is not uncommon for the severity of symptoms to increase during times of stress, perhaps at work, school, or in relationships.

Genetic Disorders

  1. Down syndrome- Having an extra copy of chromosome 21 causes a range of physical and mental symptoms.
  • There may be some physical and mental characteristics in common among people with Down syndrome, but symptoms vary from mild to severe. People with Down syndrome are usually developmentally and physically slower than those without.
  • Other health issues may also affect people with the syndrome. For example, people with the syndrome may have heart disease at birth. Dementia can also be present. Hearing problems, intestinal problems, eye problems, thyroid problems, and skeletal problems may occur.
  • Growing older increases the chance of a woman having a baby with Down syndrome. Despite these difficulties, many people with Down syndrome live successful, productive lives. Down syndrome is characterized by abnormal development, due to excess genetic material.

Gitelman Syndrome- It is caused by familial hypokalemic hypomagnesemia periodic paralysis which leads to excessive electrolyte loss. There are many symptoms that can result from an electrolyte deficiency.

  • The abnormal gene is inherited from both parents, making GS an autosomal recessive disease. Therefore, inbreeding is most likely to occur in communities where consanguineous marriages occur or in small communities that have inbreeding norms. In rare cases, it can be caused by an autoimmune disease, such as Lupus or Sjogren's syndrome, in which the immune system attacks the body. There are only a few cases of GS.

Nutritional Disorders

  1. Anemia- A variety of underlying causes contribute to the production of anemia. There are several ways in which it can be classified, based on the morphology of red blood cells, the underlying etiological mechanism, and the discernible clinical spectrum, among others. A hemorrhage, low volume blood loss, or deficient red blood cell production are the main causes of excessive blood loss.
  2. Celiac disease - Gluten consumption leads to intestinal damage in celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder. Nutritional deficiencies and many diseases are caused by damage to villi, the finger-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients.
  • It is estimated that 10 million adults suffer from a mental health disorder every year, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD). Worldwide, millions of people are affected by these disorders.

There is a stigma associated with these disorders, which makes many sufferers feel alone and alone in their struggles. This stigma can be reduced by accessing treatment. Treatment connects a person with numerous resources and other people experiencing similar things.
