What is Kidney Transplant?
Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is implanted into a patient whose kidneys have failed. The transplanted kidney performs the function of filtering waste and maintaining electrolyte balance.
Who Needs Kidney Transplant?
- Chronic Kidney Disease (Stage 5)
- Long-term dialysis patients
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Hypertensive kidney damage
- Glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic kidney disease
Types of Kidney Transplant
1. Live Donor Kidney Transplant
A healthy relative donates one kidney to the recipient. This is the most common and successful type of transplant.
2. Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant
Kidneys from brain-dead donors are transplanted into recipients based on allocation protocols.
3. ABO Incompatible Transplant
Specialized immunological preparation allows transplantation even if blood groups are not traditionally compatible.
4. High-Risk Transplant
Includes patients with diabetes, cardiac risk, repeat transplants or immunological challenges.
