3. Overview of Kidney Transplantation
 Definition: Kidney transplantation is a surgical
procedure to place a healthy kidney from a
donor into a person whose kidneys no longer
function properly.
 Importance: It is the preferred treatment for
many people with end-stage kidney disease.

4. Pre-Transplant Evaluation

 Tests: Blood tests, imaging studies, and consultations with various specialists are conducted.

5. Finding a Donor
 Types of Donors: Living and deceased donors.
 Compatibility: Compatibility between donor and recipient is crucial for successful transplantation.
 Donor Evaluation: Donors also undergo extensive evaluation to ensure their suitability.

6. Surgical Procedure
 Anesthesia: Patients are given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable during the procedure.
 Surgery: Surgeons remove the diseased kidney and transplant the healthy kidney into the
recipient's body.
 Duration: The surgery typically takes several hours.

7. Recovery Process
 Hospital Stay: Patients are closely monitored in the hospital for a few days after surgery.
 Medications: Patients require lifelong medications to prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney.
 Follow-up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor kidney function and
adjust medications.

8. Potential Complications
 Rejection: The body's immune system may reject the transplanted kidney, requiring adjustments to
medications.
 Infection: Patients are at increased risk of infection, especially in the initial post-transplant period.
 Other Complications: Blood clots, surgical complications, and side effects of medications are
possible.

9. Benefits of Kidney Transplantation
 Improved Quality of Life: Transplantation can restore kidney function and improve overall health
and well-being.

dialysis.
