Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is a procedure undertaken to treat any kind of kidney failure.

A diseased (unhealthy, non-functioning) kidney is surgically removed and in place of it, a healthy, functioning kidney (from a donor) is placed in the patient body. The main step is finding a suitable donor that matches the blood type of the patient and is compatible with the patient's body. A kidney transplant operation is needed when people develop a condition called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or for kidney cancer treatments.

The Kidney transplant operation involves 3 main steps:

• Installing the donor's kidney by making an incision in the lower abdomen of the patient's body.
• Attaching the nearby blood vessels of the patient's body to the blood vessels of the donated kidneys.
• Connecting the ureter of the donated kidney to the patient's bladder.
