A Kidney Transplant is a surgical procedure that’s done to treat kidney failure. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and remove it from the body through your urine. They also help maintain your body’s fluid and electrolyte balance.
If your kidneys stop working, waste builds up in your body and can make you very sick. People whose kidneys have failed usually undergo a treatment called Dialysis. This treatment mechanically filters waste that builds up in the bloodstream when the kidneys stop working. Some people whose kidneys have failed may qualify for a kidney transplant. In this procedure, one or both kidneys are replaced with donor kidneys from a live or deceased person.
These serious conditions include:
Cancer, or a recent history of cancer
Serious infection, such as tuberculosis, bone infections, or hepatitis
Severe cardiovascular disease
Liver disease
