Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that involves placing a healthy kidney from a donor into a patient suffering from kidney failure. For many individuals with End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD), a kidney transplant is the preferred treatment option, as it offers a significantly improved quality of life and a longer life expectancy compared to prolonged dialysis. The procedure restores the body's natural ability to filter blood and remove waste.

Purpose:

  • To increase life expectancy compared to long-term dialysis.
  • To replace a failing or failed kidney with a healthy donor kidney.
  • To restore the kidney’s ability to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood.
  • To improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing or eliminating the need for dialysis.
  • To allow for a more normal lifestyle, including better energy levels, diet, and overall health etc.

Benefits:

  • Freedom from dialysis
  • Longer life expectancy
  • Improved quality of life
  • Fewer dietary restrictions
  • Enhanced emotional well-being etc.
