It is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is implanted in a patient with kidney failure.
This procedure is a treatment option for those with end-stage renal disease, providing a better quality of life and a longer life expectancy compared to long-term dialysis.
Where the kidneys can no longer filter waste and excess fluids from the blood properly, representing a serious disease.
When other treatments are not effective and dialysis no longer provides an acceptable quality of life. This is determined through a thorough medical evaluation.
The patient’s evaluation includes a complete physical examination, blood tests, imaging studies, and consultations with specialists to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for kidney transplantation.
Having a team of urologists who are specialized and concerned about your well-being is the key to obtaining viable solutions, such as a kidney transplant.
It can be a relative, friend, or even an anonymous person who chooses to donate one of their kidneys.
Kidneys from living donors typically have better long-term function and a higher success rate compared to deceased donors.
To make the procedure successful, the compatibility of both people must be evaluated, as well as another series of tests that our team of experts will recommend when deemed necessary.
Kidneys can also come from deceased donors, who have consented to the donation of their organs.
This type of transplant may be a viable option for those who do not have a living donor available, although it may take time to achieve.
After the transplant, the patient will stay in the hospital for several days to monitor the function of the new kidney and make sure there are no immediate complications.
Lifelong immunosuppressive medications are recommended to prevent organ rejection. Regular follow-up with the medical team is crucial to monitor kidney function and adjust medication as needed.
Following medical recommendations to the letter, including eating a healthy diet, avoiding infections, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle, is critical to ensuring long-term transplant success.
It can occur when the patient’s immune system recognizes the new kidney as a foreign body and attacks it. Rejection can be acute or chronic, and is managed by immunosuppressive drugs.
Because of immunosuppressive drugs, transplant patients are at increased risk of infections. It is vital to follow preventive measures and report any signs of infection to the medical team immediately.
Immunosuppressive drugs can have side effects, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased risk of certain types of cancer. It is important to discuss these risks with the medical team and follow an appropriate management plan.
