Transplantation of a solid organ, such as a kidney, heart, or
liver, is a lifesaving procedure and is sometimes the only viable
treatment for patients experiencing end-stage organ failure as a
result of illness or injury. A growing prevalence of solid organ
diseases in the United States is contributing to more people
needing a transplant and longer wait times on the national
transplant waiting list. While transplantation can lengthen a
person's life, the road to recovery is difficult and complex.
Transplant recipients commonly experience considerable impairments
related to health factors, medication side effects, organ
rejection, or other setbacks that can cause functional limitations.
A spectrum of services and supports can be beneficial to patient
functioning and quality of life, but patient access is variable due
to individual, system, and social factors. To gain an understanding
of current scientific findings in the field of solid organ
transplantation, the U.S. Social Security Administration asked the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board
on Health Care Services to organize a virtual public workshop to
examine disability associated with organ transplantation. The
workshop, held March 22-23, 2021, focused on kidney, heart, liver,
and lung transplantation, and to a lesser extent intestine
transplantation. Subject-matter experts presented on clinical
aspects of post-transplantation recovery and described the
implications for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning
in adults and children. This publication summarizes the
presentations and panel discussions from the workshop. Table of
