Z52: Donors of organs and tissues
Z52.8: Donor of other organs and tissues
The medical condition referred to as "Donor of other organs and tissues" is linked to individuals who have undergone a medical procedure to donate one or more of their organs or tissues to another individual in need. This term does not describe a disease or health disorder but instead signifies a person's status as a healthy donor. The process may involve the donation of various types of organs including the kidney, liver, and heart, among others, along with specific tissues such as skin or blood. The individual in question has gone through an extensive health evaluation prior to the transplant procedure, confirming they are suitable for donation without imposing severe health risks on themselves. This implies that they have been assessed as physically strong and healthy enough to withstand the donation procedure and subsequent recovery process.
