About Kidney Transplant
  • A kidney transplant is a process in which the
    removal of a healthy kidney from one person is
    transplanted into the body of a person who is
    having little or no kidney function.
  • A kidney transplant is a surgery performed to
    place a healthy kidney from a donor into the
    patient's body. A donor is a living person or a
    person who has just died, most often a family
    member. A kidney from someone who has just died
    is a deceased donor kidney. A kidney from a
    living person is a living donor kidney. The
    transplanted kidney takes over the job of
    filtering your blood. Kidney transplant is done
    by Nephrologists.
  • It is achievable to partially replicate the
    functions of the kidney using a blood filtering
    procedure known as dialysis. However, dialysis
    can be inconvenient and time consuming, so a
    kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for
    kidney failure whenever possible.

Different types of kidney transplant?
  • Deceased-donor kidney transplant
  • Living-donor kidney transplant
  • Pre-emptive kidney transplant
  • Deceased-donor kidney transplant
  • A deceased-donor kidney transplant is done when a
    kidney from someone who has recently died is
    removed with consent of the family and placed in
    a recipient whose kidneys have failed and is
    in need of a kidney transplantation.
  • The donated kidney is either stored on low
    temperature or connected to a machine that
    provides oxygen and nutrients until the kidney is
    transplanted into the recipient. The donor and
    recipient are often in the same geographic region
    as the transplant center to minimize the time the
    kidney is outside a human body.

Why Deceased-donor kidney transplant is done?
  • People with end-stage kidney disease need to have
    waste removed from their bloodstream via a
    machine (dialysis) or a kidney transplant to stay
    alive.
  • For most people with advanced kidney disease or
    kidney failure, a kidney transplant is the
    preferred treatment. Compared to a lifetime on
    dialysis, a kidney transplant offers a lower risk
    of death, better quality of life and fewer
    dietary restrictions than dialysis.
  • The health risks linked with a kidney transplant
    include those associated directly with the
    surgery itself, rejection of the donor organ and
    the side effects of taking immunosuppressant
    medications needed to prevent your body from
    rejecting the donated kidney, which include
    a higher risk of infection and some types of
    cancer.

Living-donor kidney transplant
  • A living-donor kidney transplant is done by
    the removal of a kidney from a living donor and
    placed into a recipient whose kidneys are no
    longer functioning properly. Only one donated
    kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys,
    which makes living-donor kidney transplant an
    alternative to deceased-donor kidney transplant.
  • About one-third of all kidney transplants
    performed are living-donor kidney transplants.
    The other two-thirds involve a kidney from a
    deceased donor.

Why Living-donor kidney transplant is done?
  • Compared with deceased-donor kidney transplant,
    living-donor kidney transplant offers these
    benefits
  • Less time spent on a waiting list, which could
    prevent possible complications and deterioration
    of health
  • Potential avoidance of dialysis if it has not
    been initiated
  • Better short- and long-term survival rates
  • A pre-scheduled transplant once your donor is
    approved versus an unscheduled, emergency
    transplant procedure with a deceased donor
  • Living-donor kidneys almost always start working
    immediately after transplant compared with
    deceased-donor kidneys that can have delayed
    function

Risks associated with Kidney Transplant?
  • Kidney transplant surgery carries a risk of
    significant complications, including
  • Blood clots
  • Bleeding
  • Leaking from or blockage of the tube (ureter)
    that links the kidney to the bladder
  • Infection
  • Failure of the donated kidney
  • Rejection of the donated kidney
  • An infection or cancer that can be transmitted
    with the donated kidney
  • Death, heart attack and stroke

8
Anti-rejection medication side effects
  • After a kidney transplant, you'll take
    medications to help prevent your body from
    rejecting the donor kidney. These medications can
    cause a variety of side effects, including
  • Acne
  • Bone thinning (osteoporosis) and bone damage
    (osteonecrosis)
  • Diabetes
  • Excessive hair growth or hair loss
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Increased risk of cancer, particularly skin
    cancer and lymphoma
  • Infection
  • Puffiness (edema)
  • Weight gain
