Current possibilities and risks of donating some tissues, cells, and organs from living donors

Transfusion, transplantation, and regenerative medicine are rapidly developing fields. The authors of the text want to inform about upcoming legislative changes at the EU level and briefly describe and compare the difficulty of some donation procedures from the point of view of a living donor, as well as their risks, including psychosocial risks. The study is based on a qualitative expert investigation. Comparing the complexity of procedures from the perspective of donors is important, for example, for setting compensations. The tables show that the current compensations are disproportionate.
