Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is the surgical replacement of a diseased kidney with a healthy one from a donor. It is the most effective long-term treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The donor kidney can come from a living person (usually a relative) or a deceased donor. The recipient must take lifelong immunosuppressive drugs to prevent organ rejection. This procedure significantly improves quality of life compared to dialysis, allowing patients to return to normal activities.
