Complete Solution 2024.
ABO
four main blood types - A, B, AB, and O
Allocation
The process of determining how organs are distributed. Allocation includes the system
of policies and guidelines, which ensure that organs are distributed in an equitable,
ethical and medically sound manner.
Antibody
A protein molecule produced by the immune system in response to a foreign body, such
as a virus or a transplanted organ.
Antigen
Any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An
antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment such as chemicals, bacteria,
viruses, pollen or foreign tissue.
Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO)
The non-profit organization recognized as the national representative of the 58
federally-designed OPOs
Brain Death
Irreversible cessation of cerebral and brain stem functions; characterized by absence of
electrical activity in the brain, blood flow to the brain, and brain function as determined
by clinical assessment of responses.
Circulatory Death
Death defined as the irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions.
Death is declared in accordance with hospital policy and applicable state and local
statutes or regulations.
Clinical Triggers
Criteria for imminent death mutually established by the hospital and OPO which prompt
the hospital to make timely notification to the OPO.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS)
A part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who offers financial
coverage for End Stage Renal Disease patients and funds kidney and by extension, all
organ transplants. CMS holds hospitals accountable for referring potential donors in a
timely fashion.
Cold Ischemia Time (CIT)
The amount of time an organ spends being preserved after recovery from the donor.
Donor Management
The process and critical pathways use to medically care for donors in order to keep their
organs viable until organ recovery can occur.
Donation After Circulatory Death
These donors do not meet brain death criteria but may donate lung, liver, or kidneys
after circulatory death has been declared by the hospital physician.
, Donor Service Area (DSA)
The geographic area designed by CMS that is served by one OPO, one or more
transplant centers, and one or more donor hospitals.
En Blco
The transplant of both kidneys or both lungs from a single donor into one recipient,
where both organs are recovered and transplanted as a single unit
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
This is the virus that transmits mononucleosis, remains dormant in most people, but
may be a problem in transplant recipients. It has been associated with certain cancers,
including Burkitt's lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal
carcinoma.
Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) Kidney
A kidney donated from transplantation from any brain dead donor over the age of 60
years; or from a donor over the age of 50 years with a history of hypertension, the most
recent creatinine greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl, or death resulting from a cerebral
vascular accident (stroke)
Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA)
The primary healthcare agency of the federal government that deals with health access
issues. Its role is to make essential primary care service abailable to poor, uninsured,
and geographically underserved populations. HRSA is a division of the U.S. Departmet
of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Division of Transplantation (DoT) is a
component of HRSA's Healthcare System Bureau (HSB). HRSA provides funding for
the OPTN contract.
Hepatitis B virus
virus that causes inflammation of the liver; transmitted through any body fluid, including
vaginal secretions, semen, and blood. It is spread through intravenous drug use,
through sexual contact with infected individuals, through exposure to infected body
fluids, and vertically from mother to child. Common symptoms include abdominal pain,
fatigue, fever, jaundice, and elevated liver enzymes.
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Most infections are due to injection drug use with contaminated needles. The CDCs
estimates 4.1 million (1.6 percent) Americans have been infected with HCV, of whome
3.2 million are chronically infected.
Histocompatibility
The examination of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a patient, often referred to as
"tissue typing" or "genetic matching." Tissue typing is routinely performed for all donors
and recipients in kidney and pancreas transplantation to help match the donor with the
most suitable recipients to help decrease the likelihood of rejecting the transplanted
organs.
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)
Molecules found on all nucleated cells in the body that help the immune system to
recognize whether or not a cell is foreign to the body. These antigens are inherited from
one's parents. Human leukocyte antigens are used to determine the compatibility of
kidneys and pancreases for transplantation from one individual to another. The major
groups of HLA antigens are HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR.
