Renal Transplant

A renal transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This can come from a living donor, often a relative or friend, or from someone who has recently died. The transplant helps restore proper kidney function, allowing the recipient to better filter waste from the blood, maintain fluid balance, and support overall health. Following the procedure, patients require lifelong medications to prevent their body from rejecting the new kidney. Kidney transplants can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.
