A renal transplant surgery is a procedure to replace a damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor. The new kidney can come from a deceased donor or a living donor, such as a family member. Most people receive one kidney, but in rare cases, they might get two from a deceased donor. People who donate a kidney can live healthy lives with just one. Before surgery, medical, psychological, and social evaluations are conducted to ensure the fitness and safety of the recipient and the donor (in living-kidney donor transplants). Testing also confirms proper blood group and HLA matching and tissue cross-matching.

The kidney transplant surgery lasts between three and five hours and is performed under general anaesthesia by a transplant surgeon. After the surgery, the nephrologist supervises the recipient's monitoring and medications.

FAQ's

Your kidneys are like filters for your blood. They eliminate waste, extra salt, and water, turning them into urine. Kidneys also perform the following essential bodily tasks:

● Assist in keeping bones healthy
● Help regulate blood pressure
● Maintain the body's chemical balance
● Regulate important hormones that help the body operate properly
● Stimulate the making of red blood cells

Chronic kidney disease, or chronic renal failure, is the gradual loss of kidney function over months or years.

While there are a few other, less common causes, the major risk factors for kidney disease include:

● Diabetes
● High blood pressure
● Heart disease
● Family history of kidney disease

During the early stages of kidney disease, people usually do not feel sick at all. Other patients experience swelling of the legs, ankles, feet, face and/or hands as diseased kidneys cannot remove extra fluid.

However, severe kidney disease can cause pronounced symptoms, which may include:
● Drowsiness
● Fatigue
● Itchiness of the skin
● Loss of appetite
● Metallic taste in the mouth
● Nausea
● Vomiting

There are several things you can do to help control your blood pressure:

● Avoid smoking.
● If you choose to drink alcohol, drink no more than one small drink each day.
● Eat a diet that is low in salt.
● Maintain a healthy weight.
● Stay physically active.

The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined with a blood test that shows how much kidney function you have.

The stages of kidney disease are outlined below:
● Stage 1: Kidney damage with normal kidney function (GFR >90ml/min)
● Stage 2: Kidney damage with mild decrease in kidney function (GFR 60-89ml/min)
● Stage 3a: Mild to moderate decrease in kidney function (GFR 45-59ml/min)
● Stage 3b: Moderate decrease in kidney function (GFR 30-44ml/min)
● Stage 4: Severe decrease in kidney function (GFR 15-29ml/min)
● Stage 5: Kidney failure (GFR< 15ml/min)
