For eligible patients, a successful kidney transplant can reduce or eliminate the need for dialysis and provide greater freedom and quality of life.
Living Donor Transplant
A healthy living person donates one kidney to the recipient. Living donor transplantation allows planned surgery and may reduce waiting time. Donors undergo detailed medical evaluation to ensure that donation is safe.
Deceased Donor Transplant
A kidney is donated after the donor’s death and allocated to an eligible recipient according to applicable medical and organ-transplant regulations. Patients may need to remain on a transplant waiting list until a suitable kidney becomes available.
Before Transplant
Patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including blood tests, imaging, cardiac assessment, infection screening, tissue compatibility and antibody testing. The transplant team assesses the patient’s overall health and suitability for surgery.
During Transplant
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The donor kidney is usually placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the recipient’s blood vessels and bladder. The patient’s original kidneys are generally left in place unless there is a specific medical reason to remove them.
The procedure usually takes several hours.
After Transplant
Patients are closely monitored for kidney function, urine output, infection and other complications. The transplanted kidney may work immediately or may take several days to function.
Immunosuppressive medicines are required to reduce the risk of rejection, along with regular follow-up and blood tests.
Life After Kidney Transplant
With appropriate medical care, medication adherence and a healthy lifestyle, many transplant recipients can return to an active and productive life.
