Pediatric Kidney Transplant

Pediatric kidney transplant is a medical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is surgically placed into a child whose own kidneys are failing or severely damaged. This is often necessary due to conditions like congenital defects, infections, or autoimmune diseases. The transplant helps restore kidney function, allowing the child to grow and thrive. After surgery, the child will need lifelong medication to prevent rejection of the new kidney and regular follow-up care to monitor their health. The goal is to improve the child's quality of life and overall wellbeing.
