Overview

A kidney transplant is a procedure that replaces a person’s diseased or damaged kidney with a healthy kidney from a donor. This type of transplant is the most common organ transplant and can be lifesaving for recipients. Recipients may be eligible for a kidney transplant if they have end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a chronic condition in which their kidneys are no longer able to properly filter waste from the body. The new kidney is placed in the recipient's body to begin filtering blood and, in most cases, increase their quality of life. Postoperative care is essential for kidney transplant recipients to ensure that the transplant is successful. This includes taking medications to prevent organ rejection and monitoring their health closely. A successful kidney transplant increases both the recipient's life expectancy and quality of life.
