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.
