Ar ddechrau wythnos sy'n canolbwyntio ar roddwyr organau byw,  bydd Gweinidog Iechyd Cymru, Vaughan Gething, heddiw'n hyrwyddo'r neges y gall rhoddwyr byw helpu i achub bywydau pobl eraill.  

Bob blwyddyn mae dros 250 o gleifion yn marw wrth aros am drawsblaniad aren. Nid oes digon o arennau ar gael drwy roddwyr sydd wedi marw i fodloni anghenion bawb sydd angen trawsblaniad. Ar gyfartaledd rhaid aros tua dwy flynedd i gael trawsblaniad aren gan rywun sydd wedi marw, ac mewn rhai achosion prin, mae rhai cleifion yn aros dros bum mlynedd.  
Arennau yw'r organ fwyaf cyffredin sy'n cael eu rhoi gan bobl fyw, ond byddai’n bosibl iddynt hefyd roi organau eraill, gan gynnwys rhan o afu/iau, darn o ysgyfaint, neu ran o'r coluddyn bach. Mae cael trawsblaniad roddwr byw addas yn sicrhau'r canlyniadau gorau i'r derbynnydd.

Gall bywyd rhywun gael ei drawsnewid gan roddwr byw, gan y gallai hynny leihau'r amser aros, osgoi dialysis a gwella ansawdd a hyd ei fywyd. Mae gennym ddwy aren, a gall person iach fyw bywyd cwbl normal â dim ond un aren yn gweithio.

Mae'r ffocws ar roddwyr byw yn cyd\-ddigwydd â Diwrnod Arennau'r Byd a gynhelir ddydd Iau 14 Mawrth, ac mae'n tynnu sylw at sut y gall gweithred hael ac anhunanol rhoddwr byw wella bywyd person arall.  

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd, Vaughan Gething: 


> "Mae rhoddwyr byw yn helpu i achub a thrawsnewid bywydau, drwy roi'r cyfle i fwy o gleifion sy'n dioddef methiant yr arennau, a chlefydau eraill, gael trawsblaniad llwyddiannus. 
> 
> "Yma yng Nghymru, rydyn ni'n arwain y ffordd o ran cael cydsyniad i roi organau wedi i'r rhoddwr farw, ond tra bo pobl yn marw wrth aros am drawsblaniad, rhaid i ni weithio'n galetach i godi ymwybyddiaeth am y posibilrwydd y gall rhoddwyr byw hefyd roi eu horganau. 
> 
> “Yn aml bydd rhoddwr byw yn berthynas agos neu'n ffrind, ond does dim rheswm pam na allwch roi i rywun nad ydych yn ei adnabod. Hoffwn annog pobl ledled Cymru a'r Deyrnas Unedig i ystyried bod yn rhoddwr byw \- mae'n benderfyniad a allai drawsnewid bywyd rhywun arall.”

Every year more than 250 patients die waiting for a kidney transplant. There are not enough kidneys donated from people who have died for everyone who needs a transplant. The average waiting time for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor is approximately two years and in rare cases can be over five years.

Kidneys are the most common organ donated by living people but other organs can be donated, including part of a liver, a segment of a lung and part of the small bowel.  A transplant from a matched living donor provides the best outcome for the recipient.

Peoples’ lives can be changed by a living donation, resulting in shorter waiting times, avoiding dialysis and an improvement to the quality and length of someone's life. Everyone has two kidneys and a healthy person can lead a completely normal life with only one working kidney.

The focus on living donation coincides with World Kidney Day on Thursday 14 March and highlights how the selfless and generous act of becoming a living organ donor can improve another person’s life. 

Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said: 


> “Living donors help save and transform lives, offering more patients with kidney failure, and other diseases, the possibility of a successful transplant. 
> 
> “We are leading the way on consent to deceased organ donation in Wales, but while there are still people dying waiting for a transplant, we must work harder to further increase awareness of the possibility of living donation. 
> 
> “Often, living donors are close relatives or friends but you can still donate an organ to someone you do not know. I would encourage people across Wales, and the UK as a whole, to consider becoming a living donor – it’s a decision that could potentially be life changing for someone.”
