Kidney Transplant Recipients

Kidney transplant recipients are individuals who receive a healthy kidney from a donor to replace their own failed kidneys. This procedure is typically done when someone has end-stage kidney disease, which can be caused by conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The transplant aims to improve the recipient's quality of life and restore kidney function, allowing them to live without dialysis. Recipients must take medication to prevent their body from rejecting the new kidney and will have regular follow-ups with healthcare providers to monitor their health and the function of the transplanted organ.
