Kidney transplantation

Introduction The intent of this paper is to examine conceptual linkages between concepts and the tenets of an approach to research. The article used in this paper is titled chronic kidney disease (CKD) stressors influence choices of dialysis modality (Harwood, Wilson, Sontrop and Clark, 2012). A prospective correlational design was used in thin study. The underpinning epistemological, ontological, ethical and ideological tenets of prospective correlation design is described based on this…

This transformation consists of connecting with the consumer on an emotional level, where they found their customers want them to be. Therefore, Sofia became the customer face who will represent the people who they serve. She was chosen to make their customer real and personal. Sophia comes with health concerns, a budget, and a large family for whom she balances health care and ultimately, she’s the reason Banner Health is here. If they make health care easier and life better for Sofia, they…

The milestone of the first ever successful organ transplantation in the world was established by surgeon Dr. Joseph Murray in 1954. Such medical achievement led the world into a new era where organs can be used for people other than the host; not only did the accomplishment open up the possibilities for saving more lives, it also unlocked the secrets of human bodies’ immune system. Although the first organ transplantation successfully performed in the U.S. might have received different reactions…

Topic: Reasons for the increase in illegal organ harvesting Human trafficking is no doubt one of the biggest violations of human rights. As mentioned in the Declaration of Human Rights Article 3, everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. When one of the most basic rights is violated, the possibility that other rights would be followed through might be at a loss. Among the deeds that are categorized under human trafficking include slavery, sex trafficking, child trafficking…

Transplantation is the surgical removal of an organ from a donor and transferring it into the recipient whose organ has failed. However, solid organ transplant rejection by the recipient's immune system may occur. Transfusion before transplantation was found to reduce solid organ transplant rejection by inducing regulatory T-cells and immunomodulation with down-regulation of the immune system. Similarly, ABO blood group matching, tissue typing, cross matching and using immune suppressants are…

hypotheses include the persistence of donor-derived dendritic cells in the recipient that promote an immunologically mediated chimeric state between the recipient and the transplanted organ. Tissue typing or crossmatching is performed prior to transplantation to assess donor-recipient compatibility for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and ABO blood…

is 104.089. Since P value is less than 0.01, the null hypothesis is rejected at 1 percent level of significance. Hence, concluded that there is association between stages at diagnosed as a kidney disease and cost factors in thousands of kidney patients. Based on the row percentage, Stage diagnosed as a kidney patients upto stage III, 6.0 patients are below 50000, 54.0% are 50000-100000, 26.0% are 100000-500000, 6.0% are 500000-1000000, 8.0% are above 1000000. Stage diagnosed at stage IV, 48.7%…

sources for donor organs. Organs that are removed and used from the dead are considered cadaveric organs. A person is usually allowed to become a cadaveric donor by indicating it on their DMV license or in a health care directive. (Ethics of Organ transplantation, 2004). The second source for donors is a living person. It has been found that since 1988, 3 out of every 4 transplants have come from cadaveric donors, while the rest being from living donors. (Kerstein 1). These living…

regular human organ transplantations. The traditional system of organ donations faces many obstacles and difficulties that lab grown organs can solve. For instance, many people are not receiving their much needed organ transplantations through the current organ donation method. To counter this shortage, developing and updating current and new technologies can get people the organs they need. Furthermore, new methods are proving to work and be safer than organ transplantations. Therefore, due to…

The transplantation surgical procedure was an extreme brake-thro in history. One of the earliest transplants that was done was an Autograph transplant that was a replant reconstruction of the skin on the nose and was performed by an Indian surgeon (Shrutas) in the 2nd century BC. This technique was next vitalized in the First World War. The first organ tissue transplant as we know it was done by a Swiss surgeon called Theodor Kocher. He removed a Thyroid from a patient, but then noticed that the…
