​​​​What is the difference between organ donation and tissue donation?

Providing an organ refers to removing an organ (eg, heart, lung, kidney) from one person and transplanting it to another person's organs.

Organizational provision means to take tissue from the body (skin, cornea, bone, etc) inside the body and transplant it to another person.

Organ donors may become live providers. In other words, the organ donating will not harm this person. An example of this is when a brother gave one of two kidneys to a sister or mother and handed a part of the liver to the child.

Organ donors usually die of accidental tragic death after severe brain injury. This is usually due to a car accident, cerebral hemorrhage or falling.

Because the organization does not require the same conditions as an organ to survive, the organization is provided after the heart and lungs stop functioning.

The organization used for donation must be removed within 12 to 24 hours after the death of the person. There is no need to maintain the donor with a ventilator

Criteria for donation of organs and organizations may change, there may be some reason why someone can not donate. It is usually related to people's medical history, social history, illness. Organs and tissues must be healthy, donors should not have diseases that may harm recipients

Provision of organs by living donors is not the only way to save lives, cure diseases, and help people. Organized donation of living donors (blood donation and bone marrow) is one of them. The main difference between the two donations - Yes, I am simplifying! - If you donate to the kidneys or lungs (some liver donations are not like this), you will run out of some of the natural resources. When you donate the living organization, you donate renewable resources. Organizing donations requires generosity, but it will not worsen your dress. You can donate a body fluid that will save your life to supplement yourself (your body will regenerate); in some cases donating exciting updates is actually a donor's health Benefit to. There are many more, you can donate blood - do not worry about running out of your resources - you will save many times - and save one or more people's lives!

Providing organs is the provision of organs and organizations to people in need. Donors can donate organs of the heart, kidney, liver, bone marrow, eye or tissue. Donations will be made after someone dies. Living donors can donate to kidneys and parts of the liver. Even if the donor promises to provide an organ after death, it can not be offered without the consent of his immediate family. If you decide to become an organ donor, share your wishes with your family as they know what you want. We will also introduce statistics in detail. In India, the current organ donation rate is 0.26 people per million population, but Western countries have more than 30 donors. There is a serious shortage of organs, and the number of organs provided and the number of people waiting to be transplanted are increasing. According to an estimate, 90% of patients waiting for organs will die without organs
