Kidney transplant programs

Kidney transplant programs are medical services that replace a damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor. They involve evaluating patients, finding compatible donors (living or deceased), and performing the surgical procedure. The goal is to improve quality of life and survival for people with kidney failure. The program also provides ongoing care, including immunosuppressant medications to prevent rejection, and monitors for complications. These programs operate across hospitals and clinics, coordinating medical teams to ensure safe, effective transplants and support for recipients throughout their recovery and long-term health management.
