Kidney Transplantation

Who Needs a Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant is typically recommended for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are no longer responding to other treatments, such as hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Transplantation may be considered when:

• Kidney function falls to 10-15% of normal capacity.
• Dialysis is no longer effective or is no longer sustainable for the patient.
• The patient has a good overall health profile for the procedure.

Benefits of Kidney Transplantation

• Improved Quality of Life: A successful transplant can restore kidney function, improve energy levels, and reduce the need for long-term dialysis.
• Longer Life Expectancy: Kidney transplantation offers a better life expectancy compared to long-term dialysis treatment.
• Better Control of Health: Transplantation can help regain control over blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve overall health.
