Pediatric Kidney Transplants

Pediatric kidney transplants are surgical procedures performed to replace a child's failing kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This can help manage conditions like congenital kidney disease or severe renal failure. The transplant allows the child’s body to filter waste and maintain balance of fluids and electrolytes effectively. Donors can be living (often relatives) or deceased. Post-transplant, children require regular medical follow-ups and medications to prevent rejection of the new kidney and to monitor overall health. Successful transplants can significantly improve a child's quality of life and growth potential.
