What is a Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant is a surgery to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. This can be either from a living donor or one who has died. The procedure is recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), during which the kidneys no longer filter out waste from the blood effectively. A successful kidney transplantation can significantly improve the quality of life.
