Kidney Transplantation
Kidney Transplantation is a surgical procedure through which a healthy kidney from a donor is transplanted into a person whose kidneys have failed. This procedure is important for people whose kidneys cannot function normally due to a variety of reasons, such as chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal failure, and birth defects. The transplanted kidney replaces the function of the patient's non-functioning kidneys and can improve the quality of life and lifespan of the patient. Kidney transplants are a safe and highly effective way of treating end stage renal failure. In people with compatible donors, kidney transplants can lead to better outcomes, improved quality of life and longer survival rates.
