Kidney Transplant Surgery
is a medical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is surgically implanted into a recipient with end-stage renal disease. It is a life-saving treatment for those whose kidneys can no longer function effectively. The surgery typically lasts several hours and involves connecting the donor kidney to the recipient’s blood vessels and urinary system. After the surgery, recipients require lifelong immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection of the new kidney. Kidney transplant offers a chance at improved quality of life and reduced dependence on dialysis for those who qualify and receive a suitable donor organ.
