A "transplant" refers to the process of moving an organ, tissue, or cells from one body to another or from one part of the body to another. This medical procedure is often necessary when a person's organ is damaged or failing, such as a kidney or heart. Transplants can save lives and improve the quality of life for many patients. There are two main types of transplants: living and deceased donor transplants. In a living donor transplant, a healthy person donates an organ, like a liver or kidney, while in a deceased donor transplant, the organ comes from someone who has passed away. Both types require careful matching to ensure the best chance of success.
