Kidney Transplantation (also known as Renal Transplantation) is the process of transplant a kidney into a patient suffering from the end-stage disease of the kidney. Kidney Transplant is generally divided into two parts depending on the source of the donor organ-

1. Deceased donor Kidney Transplant (formerly known as Cadaveric)
2. Living donor Kidney Transplants, further classified into genetically related and unrelated Transplants, depending on whether a biological or genetic relationship exists between the donor and the recipient.

When your Kidneys lose their filtration ability (almost total loss in case of End-stage Kidney Disease), harmful and toxic substances, especially fluids and wastes accumulate in your body. Which will result in symptoms like edema, breathlessness, decreased appetite. End-stage Renal Diseases occur when Kidneys lose almost 90% of their ability to function normally, resulting in Renal Failure.

Some of the common causes that result in  End-stage Kidney Disease and might be precursors of Kidney Transplantation are Diabetes, Chronic and uncontrolled High Blood Pressure, Chronic Glomerulonephritis, which is an inflammation and eventual scarring of the glomeruli (tiny filters within your kidney), and polycystic kidney diseases.

Patients with End-stage Renal Disease are required to remove their bodily wastes by Dialysis or a Kidney Transplant to prevent poisoning and toxicities.

Treatment of Renal Failure & Disorders?

In case of renal failure, a healthy kidney is placed inside your body to do the work that your kidneys can not do anymore, like the removal of toxins and waste products and secretion of important hormones.

After the transplant, you can have your favourite foods with fewer limits and also follow a heart-healthy diet to improve your health and energy. However, with the positive point of leading your earlier life, there is the risk of anaesthesia and surgery. Anti-rejection injections, which are a part of the process, can have several side effects on your health.

Health experts will give you a total physical test, see your past records, and request a line of tests to find out about your general wellbeing. Everything that can influence how well you can deal with treatment will be checked. The assessment procedure for a transplant is intensive. Your doctors should know a lot about your past records and treatment to support their treatment plans. One thing you should do to fasten the processes involved is to complete all the testing as fast as could reasonably be expected and remain in close contact with the transplant donor. Even if doctors suggest that you are not fit for transplant at present, don’t be reluctant to inquire as to why—or in the event that you may be qualified at some future time. Keep in mind, being dynamic in your very own consideration is perhaps the most ideal approach to remain safe.

In the event that somebody you know might want to give a kidney to you, that individual will likewise need to see a screening to see whether the person is a match and sufficiently stable to give.

Kidney Transplant can be divided into 2 types depending on the source of the transplant

1. Deceased donor kidney transplant (formerly known as Cadaveric Kidney Transplant)- when the organs of a dead person, donated after death, are transplanted into your body, it is called Cadaveric Kidney Transplant.
2. Living donor kidney transplant, further classified into genetically related and unrelated Transplants, depending on whether a biological or genetic relationship exists between the donor and the recipient. This is when a living person donates his or her organs to you.

Kidney transplant can also be classified into

1. Pre-emptive Kidney Transplant - When you get a Kidney Transplant before you start the process of dialysis is called pre-emptive Kidney Transplant. This Transplant saves you from undergoing the entire process of Dialysis altogether.
2. Early Kidney Transplant - When you get a Transplant done after you have undergone a few Dialyses, it is called Early Kidney Transplant.

Research shows that going for a pre-emptive or early Kidney Transplant would give you a better lifestyle and long-term health. It would also save enough time and money for you.
