About Kidney Transplant

• A kidney transplant is a process in which the
  removal of a healthy kidney from one person is
  transplanted into the body of a person who is
  having little or no kidney function.
• A kidney transplant is a surgery performed to
  place a healthy kidney from a donor into the
  patient's body. A donor is a living person or a
  person who has just died, most often a family
  member. A kidney from someone who has just died
  is a deceased donor kidney. A kidney from a
  living person is a living donor kidney. The
  transplanted kidney takes over the job of
  filtering your blood. Kidney transplant is done
  by Nephrologists.
• It is achievable to partially replicate the
  functions of the kidney using a blood filtering
  procedure known as dialysis. However, dialysis
  can be inconvenient and time consuming, so a
  kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for
  kidney failure whenever possible.

Different types of kidney transplant?

• Deceased-donor kidney transplant
• Living-donor kidney transplant
• Pre-emptive kidney transplant
• Deceased-donor kidney transplant
• A deceased-donor kidney transplant is done when a
  kidney from someone who has recently died is
  removed with consent of the family and placed in
  a recipient whose kidneys have failed and is
  in need of a kidney transplantation.
• The donated kidney is either stored on low
  temperature or connected to a machine that
  provides oxygen and nutrients until the kidney is
  transplanted into the recipient. The donor and
  recipient are often in the same geographic region
  as the transplant center to minimize the time the
  kidney is outside a human body.

Why Deceased-donor kidney transplant is done?

• People with end-stage kidney disease need to have
  waste removed from their bloodstream via a
  machine (dialysis) or a kidney transplant to stay
  alive.
• For most people with advanced kidney disease or
  kidney failure, a kidney transplant is the
  preferred treatment. Compared to a lifetime on
  dialysis, a kidney transplant offers a lower risk
  of death, better quality of life and fewer
  dietary restrictions than dialysis.
• The health risks linked with a kidney transplant
  include those associated directly with the
  surgery itself, rejection of the donor organ and
  the side effects of taking immunosuppressant
  medications needed to prevent your body from
  rejecting the donated kidney, which include
  a higher risk of infection and some types of
  cancer.

Living-donor kidney transplant

• A living-donor kidney transplant is done by
  the removal of a kidney from a living donor and
  placed into a recipient whose kidneys are no
  longer functioning properly. Only one donated
  kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys,
  which makes living-donor kidney transplant an
  alternative to deceased-donor kidney transplant.
• About one-third of all kidney transplants
  performed are living-donor kidney transplants.
  The other two-thirds involve a kidney from a
  deceased donor.

Why Living-donor kidney transplant is done?

• Compared with deceased-donor kidney transplant,
  living-donor kidney transplant offers these
  benefits
• Less time spent on a waiting list, which could
  prevent possible complications and deterioration
  of health
• Potential avoidance of dialysis if it has not
  been initiated
• Better short- and long-term survival rates
• A pre-scheduled transplant once your donor is
  approved versus an unscheduled, emergency
  transplant procedure with a deceased donor
• Living-donor kidneys almost always start working
  immediately after transplant compared with
  deceased-donor kidneys that can have delayed
  function

Risks associated with Kidney Transplant?

• Kidney transplant surgery carries a risk of
  significant complications, including
• Blood clots
• Bleeding
• Leaking from or blockage of the tube (ureter)
  that links the kidney to the bladder
• Infection
• Failure of the donated kidney
• Rejection of the donated kidney
• An infection or cancer that can be transmitted
  with the donated kidney
• Death, heart attack and stroke

Anti-rejection medication side effects

• After a kidney transplant, you'll take
  medications to help prevent your body from
  rejecting the donor kidney. These medications can
  cause a variety of side effects, including
• Acne
• Bone thinning (osteoporosis) and bone damage
  (osteonecrosis)
• Diabetes
• Excessive hair growth or hair loss
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
