Organ Transplantation in Turkey

Our Organ Transplant Centers provide kidney, liver, and pancreas transplants for both adult and pediatric patients with high patient and organ survival rates, supported by advanced technological infrastructure and an experienced medical team.

We successfully perform kidney transplants from both living and cadaveric donors, liver transplants from living and cadaveric donors, and pancreas transplants from cadaveric donors for patients of all age groups.

Our centers have highly experienced organ transplant surgeons, adult and pediatric nephrologists, adult and pediatric gastroenterologists, and organ transplant coordinators. In addition, both adult and pediatric patients receive post-operative intensive care services in specialized units when needed.

Advanced procedures required after transplantation, such as EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound), ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), and interventional procedures in radiology, are performed by experienced specialists.

Organ transplantation is the best treatment option for end-stage organ failure. The most crucial expectation for transplant recipients is the long-term functionality of the transplanted organ. Therefore, post-surgical follow-up and lifestyle modifications play a significant role in the success of the transplant.

Close monitoring is essential to detect possible complications early, especially those related to medications used after the transplant, ensuring a healthier post-transplant period for patients.

Which Organs and Tissues Can Be Transplanted?
Today, the most commonly transplanted organs and tissues include:

Organs: Kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, small intestine
Tissues: Bone marrow, cornea, bone

Who Can Donate Organs?
Organs for transplantation can come from:

Living donors (usually up to the 4th degree of kinship)
Deceased donors (cadaveric donation)
For example, if a patient has suffered brain death due to head trauma, their healthy corneas and kidneys can be donated to individuals with vision impairment or chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. Similarly, a healthy liver from a cadaveric donor can be transplanted into a patient with liver cirrhosis or acute liver failure.

Who Can Receive an Organ Transplant?
Patients with end-stage heart, liver, or kidney failure can achieve a better quality of life through organ transplantation.

There is no specific age limit for transplantation; eligibility depends on general health status and the absence of severe chronic conditions.
All potential transplant recipients undergo a detailed medical evaluation at the transplant center.
The final decision on transplantation is made by a multidisciplinary organ transplant council.
Contrary to common belief, only a few patients are found unsuitable for transplantation.
Even patients with diabetes or hepatitis B/C can undergo kidney transplantation.

In cases where a living donor is available but there is blood type or immunological incompatibility, a paired exchange transplant (cross-matching with another donor-recipient pair) can be performed to overcome this issue.
