Question

What do you mean by a)organ preservation time b)organ preservation temperature

Answer 1

According to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), more than 400,000 renal transplantations have been performed since the first successful renal transplantation in the 1950s. With improved surgical techniques and immunosuppressive medications, outcomes after renal and extrarenal (liver, pancreas, lung, heart) transplantation have continued to improve.

Most solid-organ transplantations are now performed as the therapeutic option of choice. In many cases, transplantation offers definitive treatment for a given disease entity. As a result, the list of indications for solid-organ transplantation has expanded considerably, placing increasing pressure on an already limited supply of donor organs.
