Kidney Transplant Specialty Surgeon Surgery
Specialty surgeon complete packaged procedure.
Kidney transplantation or renal transplantation is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease.
Kidney transplantation is typically classified as deceased-donor (formerly known as cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ.
Living-donor renal transplants are further characterized as genetically related (living-related) or non-related (living-unrelated) transplants, depending on whether a biological relationship exists between the donor and recipient.
A living donor may be a family member, a friend, a coworker, or any person who is willing to give a kidney to someone in need.
Individuals require only one healthy kidney to live.
