Overview

Renal transplantation is a lifesaving procedure that involves the surgical transfer of a healthy kidney from one person (the donor) to another person (the recipient) whose kidneys have failed. This procedure can improve the quality of life for many people with end-stage renal disease by restoring the function of their kidneys and restoring the natural balance of electrolytes and chemicals in their body. Recipients of renal transplantation usually experience increased energy, improved appetite and mental functioning, and decreased need for dialysis.
