What is a Kidney Transplant?
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is transplanted into a patient whose kidneys can no longer function adequately.
It is considered the preferred treatment for many patients with end-stage kidney disease because it can improve survival, restore kidney function, and enhance overall quality of life.
Successful transplantation requires careful evaluation, expert coordination, and lifelong follow-up care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kidney transplantation is considered one of the most effective treatments for eligible patients with end-stage kidney disease. Success depends on factors such as overall health, donor compatibility, adherence to medications, and regular follow-up care.
A living donor may be a close family member or another medically suitable donor. Kidneys may also be received through deceased donor organ donation programs, subject to eligibility and allocation guidelines.
For many eligible patients, a kidney transplant offers improved quality of life and greater independence compared with long-term dialysis. However, the most appropriate treatment depends on each individual's medical condition and transplant suitability.
Recovery varies from person to person. Most patients require several weeks for initial recovery, followed by ongoing monitoring and lifelong transplant care.
Age alone does not determine eligibility. A detailed medical evaluation is performed to assess whether kidney transplantation is appropriate based on overall health and fitness.
Patients should take prescribed medications regularly, attend follow-up appointments, maintain good hygiene, eat a balanced diet, stay physically active as advised, and promptly report any signs of infection or unusual symptoms to their healthcare team.
