Do transplants from living donors and cadaver donors have the same outcome?

Transplants from living donors generally have better outcomes compared to those from cadaver donors. Living donor transplants often result in improved graft survival rates and shorter waiting times, as the organs are typically healthier and better matched to the recipient. Additionally, living donors can undergo pre-operative assessments to ensure optimal organ function, which can further enhance transplant success. However, individual outcomes can vary based on numerous factors, including the type of organ transplanted and the recipient's health condition.
