Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation

Deceased donor kidney transplantation is a medical procedure where a healthy kidney from a person who has recently passed away is surgically transplanted into someone with kidney failure. This process helps restore kidney function, allowing the recipient to live a healthier life. The deceased donor's organs are carefully matched to the recipient to ensure compatibility, and the surgery is typically performed within a short time after the donor's death to keep the kidney viable. The transplant can significantly improve the recipient's quality of life and reduce their reliance on dialysis.
