Kidney Transplantation: Renewing Hope & Life
When kidneys fail, a second chance at life begins with a kidney transplant. A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is placed into a patient whose kidneys can no longer function properly. Compared to a lifetime on dialysis, a transplant offers a new beginning — restoring health, freedom, and vitality.
Understanding End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
End-stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys have lost about 90% of their function. Without timely intervention, ESRD can significantly affect quality of life and overall survival. It is most often caused by:
- Diabetes
- Chronic, uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Chronic glomerulonephritis (inflammation and scarring of the kidneys)
- Polycystic kidney disease
Advantages of Kidney Transplant
A kidney transplant is the gold standard treatment for kidney failure, offering:
- Better quality of life
- Longer life expectancy
- Fewer dietary restrictions
- Lower long-term treatment costs
- Freedom from regular dialysis
Types of Kidney Transplants
Living Donor Transplantation: A kidney is donated by a living relative or compatible donor, offering excellent long-term outcomes.
Cadaver Donor Transplantation: A kidney is donated by a deceased donor, giving hope to those awaiting a second chance.
