Kidney Transplant

Overview

Kidney Transplantation is the preferred treatment for a small number of people with end-stage renal failure (ESRD). Kidney transplantation has evolved from a surgical, nephrology, and immunology experiment to the chosen method of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal illness.

For people with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation is frequently the chosen therapeutic option. Over the last 50 years, the field of kidney transplantation has expanded enormously. Patients with end-stage renal illness who are placed on a waiting list and finally receive kidney transplantation have a superior long-term survival rate than those who remain on dialysis.
