¿Deseas Ayudar?

Donador vivo es aquel que decide donar un órgano par o un segmento de un órgano único y que no pone en riesgo su vida. Sólo en caso que el donante vivo sea relacionado por parentesco directo, ya sea por consanguinidad, afinidad o civil, se puede donar un riñón (porque se puede vivir con un solo riñón y tenemos dos) y un segmento de hígado (porque es regenerable).
