Organ transplantation and chronic disturbances in the health condition of the population – challenges and perspectives

Abstract

End-stage organ failure cases are increasing around the World. Especially chronic kidney failure has been becoming a worldwide epidemic. Although available medical technology and human health resources capacity is enough to transplant organs and tissues to patients diagnosed with end-stage organ fail-ure, many people cannot access the transplantation services because of eco-nomic reasons and organ shortage. Thus, health care professionals should fo-cus on preventing chronic organ failures besides increasing the organ donor pool.
