A Renal Transplant also called as kidney transplant is a surgery done to replace a diseased kidney with a healthy functioning kidney from a donor. The kidney may be taken from a living donor or a deceased organ donor. One of the kidneys from donors (Family members or others) is taken and placed in the lower right or left side of abdomen of the recipient. Kidney Donorscan lead healthy life with one healthy kidney.


Types Of Renal Transplants:


1)Living-Donor Renal Transplant:

A kidney is removed from a living donor and placed into the body of a recipient who has renal failure..


2)Deceased-Donor Renal Transplant:

It is when a kidney from someone who has recently died is removed with consent of the family and placed into a recipient whose kidneys have failed


When your kidneys fail, treatment is needed to replace the work your own kidneys can no longer do. Renal transplants can offer more freedom and a better quality of life than dialysis.

What Happens When Kidneys Fail?

Harmful waste builds up in the body, which leads to:

  • high blood pressure
  • fluid build-up (edema)
  • salts and acids in the blood getting out of balance
  • decreased red blood cells
  • weak bones

All of these can be harmful, even deadly, to the heart, brain and skeleton.

Symptoms:

There are many signs of kidney failure, such as:

  • swelling of the hands, feet and face (edema)
  • headaches (due to high blood pressure)
  • seizures
  • pale skin color (due to low hemoglobin)
  • coffee colored urine
  • chronic bad breath that cannot be freshened by brushing your teeth
  • depression
  • fatigue
  • itchy skin

Causes For Renal Failure:

Renal Transplant is one of the two types of treatment for kidney failure (dialysis is the other). Getting a Renal Transplant implies having a healthy kidney set inside the body to perform the roles the native non functioning kidneys. When kidneys lose their ability to filter, harmful levels of fluid and waste build up in the body, raising blood pressure and are leading to kidney failure (end-stage renal disease). End-stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys have lost about 90% of their ability to function normally.
