Transplantation is undergoing a period of rapid growth due to advances in immunosuppressive therapy, surgical techniques and patient management.
Concurrent with this growth is a critical shortage of organs and other needed tissues. There are hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United States waiting for kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas and intestine transplants. Corneas, skin, bone, and other tissues are also in great demand. The need for these organs and tissues continues to far exceed the availability of actual donors.
