What is a Kidney Transplant?
Kidney Transplant is a surgical procedure in which the failed kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney. This is performed to treat kidney failure. Kidneys function by filtering waste from the blood and excreting them through urine. Kidneys also maintain the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Hence, the failure of the kidneys may lead to a waste buildup in the body. Most people with early kidney failure will be treated with dialysis. Dialysis is a procedure in which the blood is filtered mechanically. This requires frequent visits to the dialysis center and the dialysis process is time taking. Kidney transplant will take over the function of two kidneys and dialysis can be avoided. This will help you from the long-term dependence on dialysis.
