How to handle organ donation?

Refer to the following: Organ donors from all over the world can apply for organ donation after first consulting with the local Red Cross, but due to various reasons, not every voluntary donor can successfully donate. Currently, common donations include: blood, cornea, kidney, bone marrow, skin, bone lattice, and remains. The Red Cross Society of China has set up different organ banks according to the scale and specialties of hospitals in different regions, such as: bone marrow bank, bone cell bank, cornea bank, etc. Conditions for joining the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank: 1. Chinese citizens aged 18-45 years old. 2. 2, Good health condition, no blood-borne infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, etc.. 3,Resident in the place of donation. (Volunteers can contact the local Red Cross for registration in other places.) 4,Spouses of relatives do not object. (To avoid successful pairing after the donor can not be successfully donated) Second, the way to register 1, telephone registration: broadcasting around the donation hotline, through the phone to report their name, address, date of birth. 2, mail information: after telephone registration, the local donor office will send you a copy of how to donate hematopoietic stem cells according to the address you reported, as well as the method and address of how to donate. 3, Go to the notified location to donate: The Bone Marrow Bank will arrange for you to have a blood test (5 ml) at the right time and store the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing in a computerized database for the patient to find a match. It is important to note here that joining the Chinese Marrow Bank is only a registration to donate blood stem cells, it does not mean that you will donate immediately. Until there is a match, the next step is to prepare for it. How to Donate Bone Marrow 1. The Bone Marrow Bank will arrange for you to have a blood test (5 ml) at the right time and store the HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing in a computerized database for the patient to find a match. 2. After the initial matching, i.e. the HLA-AB of the donor and the recipient are the same, the Bone Marrow Bank will notify you for further blood tests, i.e. HLA-DR analysis. 3. If the HLA matches of the donor and the recipient are identical, the staff will introduce the donation process to you in detail and arrange for a full body checkup, and if the donor passes the health check, the donation will be carried out. 4. Before donation, growth factors will be injected once a day for 4-5 days. As a result of the growth factor injection, the hematopoietic stem cells will multiply. The growth factor causes the bone marrow to release a large number of hematopoietic stem cells into the blood circulation; 5. Hematopoietic stem cells are obtained through the blood cell mono-colonization technique, which is exactly the same as the method of collecting platelets from blood. Blood comes out of one arm vein and flows through a catheter into the mono-collector to isolate the hematopoietic stem cells. Other blood components will flow back to the other arm vein through the catheter and the blood collection needle, and the whole collection process is carried out in a totally closed state, which lasts for about 3-4 hours. When you donate, you are fully awake. Hematopoietic stem cells are collected from a vein in your arm (total amount of 50 ml) and extracted through a blood cell separator, and the rest of the blood cells are infused back into your body. 6. You will quickly return to normal. Since no anesthesia is used, you do not need to be hospitalized, and the side effects (e.g. fever, allergic reaction, mild pain in the bones) will disappear completely 1-2 days after the hematopoietic stem cell collection. Hematopoietic stem cells have self-replicating function, after donating hematopoietic stem cells the human body will restore the original number of hematopoietic cells in a short period of time. Therefore, the person will not feel any discomfort and it is safe for the donor. The donor of hematopoietic stem cells usually only needs to take half a day's leave to complete the whole procedure without any additional rest and recuperation. Donating bone marrow = donating blood! It's that simple! Give your love and rekindle the light of life for people with blood disorders!
