Augustus is orgaanskenkersmaand, en Weskussers word aangemoedig om as orgaanskenkers te registreer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orgaan- en veral beenmurgskenkings het die afgelope jaar die media gehaal nadat \u2019n veldtog van stapel gestuur is om \u2019n skenker vir Gracelyn \u201cGracey\u201d Green te vind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weskus Nuus<\/i>, Weslander<\/i> se susterkoerant, het voorheen berig oor Gracey (1) van Atlantis, wat \u2019n beenmurg-oorplanting moes kry nadat jeugdige mi\u00eblomonositiese bloedkanker by haar gediagnoseer is. N\u00e1 maande se gesoek is \u2019n skenker in Amerika as \u2019n pasmaat vir \u2019n skenking identifiseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Beenmurgregister (SABMR) het tydens die veldtog ges\u00ea \u2019n meer diverse skenkersgroep is nodig om die aanvraag na beenmurgskenkers die hoof te bied. Volgens die SABMR is die kans om \u2019n pasmaat te vind, een uit 100 000. Vir Gracey was die kans selfs kleiner (ongeveer een uit 400 000) weens die gebrek aan skenkers van kleur op die register. Pasi\u00ebnte is meer geneig om \u2019n pasmaat binne hul eie etniese groep te vind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir diegene wat op \u2019n orgaanskenking wag, kan dit ook \u2019n lang wagtydperk wees. Volgens die Orgaanskenkerstigting het skenkings sedert die begin van die pandemie byna tot stilstand gekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waglyste het dus langer geword en tans wag sowat 4 300 Suid-Afrikaanse volwassenes en kinders op \u2019n orgaan- of korneaoorplanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Watter organe kan oorgeplant word?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jou hart, lewer en pankreas kan drie mense se lewe red, en jou niere en longe kan tot vier mense help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een orgaanskenker kan dus die lewe van tot sewe mense red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Wat is die verskil tussen orgaan- en weefseloorplantings?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Orgaanoorplanting vind plaas nadat \u2019n individu breindood verklaar is, maar steeds deur \u2019n asemhalingsmasjien ondersteun word, terwyl weefselherwinning nog enkele ure en selfs dae n\u00e1 die skenker se dood kan plaasvind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Organe kom nie slegs van oorledenes af nie, maar kan ook van lewende skenkers ontvang word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Hoe word \u2019n mens \u2019n potensi\u00eble orgaan- of weefselskenker?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die proses is eenvoudig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registreer aanlyn of bel die Orgaanskenkerstigting se tolvrye nommer by 0800 22 66 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle sal dan \u2019n orgaanskenkerskaartjie aan jou stuur wat jy in jou beursie b\u00eare. Hulle sal ook \u2019n plakker stuur wat jy op jou ID en jou rybewys plaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is baie belangrik om die besluit met jou gesin te bespreek. Laat hulle weet dat jy jou organe of weefsel n\u00e1 jou dood wil skenk. Vra hulle om jou wens te respekteer wanneer jy te sterwe kom..<\/span> Nog inligting oor hoe om as \u2019n orgaanskenker te registreer, is beskikbaar by
