A member asked:
Is organ donation always reliable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The organs don't always work. Sometimes when they do work the patient's other medical conditions get worse and they die. Sometimes a problem with the organ (such as an infection or blood type issue) can come up after the transplant and cause major problems.
