Why would someone need to have a Kidney Transplant?

What conditions can a Kidney Transplant have?

1. End-stage renal disease (ESRD)

2. Diabetes-related kidney disease

4. Glomerulonephritis

Requirements & Evaluation: Kidney Transplant

Before undergoing a kidney transplant, patients need to meet certain requirements and undergo a thorough evaluation process. These evaluations assess the patient's overall health, kidney function, and suitability for the transplantation procedure.

Types of Kidney Transplant

Living donor transplant involves taking a healthy kidney from a living donor, usually a family member or close friend of the recipient, and transplanting it into the recipient's body. This procedure allows for faster recovery and better overall outcomes compared to deceased donor transplant .

Deceased donor transplant, on the other hand, involves taking a kidney from a deceased donor and transplanting it into the recipient's body. There are several different types of deceased donor kidneys, including standard criteria donor kidneys, extended criteria donor kidneys, and kidneys from donors after cardiac death.

Ultimately, the choice of kidney transplant type depends on a number of factors, including the recipient's health status, blood type, and availability of suitable donors 

Procedure for Kidney Transplant

The kidney transplant procedure generally involves the following steps:

Anesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia to ensure they are unconscious and pain-free during the surgery.

Incision: The surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen to access the kidney area.

Donor Kidney Placement: The healthy donor kidney is surgically placed into the recipient's body.

Blood Vessel and Ureter Connection: The surgeon connects the blood vessels of the kidney to the recipient's blood vessels and attaches the ureter to the bladder.

Incision Closure: The incision is closed with sutures or staples.

 

Before the Procedure

Before the kidney transplant surgery, patients will undergo several pre-procedural preparations, including screening tests, evaluations, and discussions regarding immunosuppressive medications.

 

After the Procedure

After the kidney transplant surgery, patients will be closely monitored and will need to take immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor kidney function and overall health.

What kind of follow-up care will I have during recovery?

During the recovery period, patients will have frequent follow-up visits with the transplant team to monitor kidney function, adjust medications, and address any concerns or complications that may arise.

Risk & Benefits

Possible risks or complications of kidney transplant include infection, bleeding, organ rejection, side effects of immunosuppressive medications, and surgical complications. However, the benefits of kidney transplant can be significant, including improved quality of life, better long-term outcomes, and freedom from dialysis.

Recovery

Recovery time after kidney transplant varies for each individual. It typically takes several weeks to months to fully recover and resume normal activities. However, this can vary depending on the patient's overall health, complications, and adherence to post-transplant care.
