Living Kidney Donation

Living kidney donation involves a healthy person donating one of their kidneys to someone with kidney failure who needs a transplant. Since humans have two kidneys and can function well with just one, this type of donation can save lives. The donor typically undergoes medical evaluations to ensure they are healthy enough for the procedure. The surgery is usually done laparoscopically, which means smaller incisions and quicker recovery. Living donations can offer more immediate transplants and better outcomes for recipients compared to deceased donations, making it a valuable option in the fight against kidney disease.
