Kidney Transplant Treatment

Kidney Transplant Surgery is widely regarded as the treatment of choice for many suitable patients with end stage kidney disease because it can improve both survival and day to day wellbeing compared with remaining on dialysis.

What the Surgery involves

  • In most cases, only one donor kidney is transplanted, because a single healthy kidney is sufficient to perform normal filtration. The patient’s own diseased kidneys are usually left in place unless there is a specific reason to remove them, such as recurrent infection or severe hypertension.
  • The new kidney is typically placed in the lower abdomen (iliac fossa), and its blood vessels are connected to the nearby iliac vessels, while the donor ureter is joined to the patient’s bladder so that urine can pass normally.

Why Kidney Transplant is done

  • The operation is offered to people with advanced or end stage chronic kidney disease, where the kidneys can no longer maintain fluid, electrolyte and waste balance and long term dialysis would otherwise be required. In such patients, transplant is often preferred when they are medically fit because it offers better long term outcomes than dialysis alone.
  • It aims not only to prolong life but also to restore a more “normal” internal environment, which positively affects the heart, bones, blood counts and overall metabolic status.

Advantages over Dialysis

  • Longer life: Numerous studies show that most eligible patients who receive a successful kidney transplant live significantly longer than similar patients who stay on dialysis, with survival benefits that can extend 10 years or more.
  • Better quality of life: Transplant recipients usually report more energy, improved appetite and sleep, fewer uremic symptoms, and greater ability to work, travel and participate in family and social activities than when they were on dialysis.

Lifestyle and health benefits

  • Freedom from regular dialysis sessions means less time in hospital or dialysis centers and more flexibility in daily routines, which many patients describe as “getting their life back.”
  • There are usually fewer dietary and fluid restrictions than with dialysis, and many patients experience improvements in sexual function, fertility, and mental health once kidney function is restored.

Overall impact

  • Although kidney transplant requires major surgery, lifelong follow up and continuous immunosuppressive medication to prevent rejection, for most suitable candidates its benefits clearly outweigh the risks, with lower overall risk of death and fewer long term complications than remaining on dialysis.
  • By restoring more natural kidney function, transplantation not only extends life but also allows patients to lead more independent, productive and fulfilling lives, making it a cornerstone therapy for end stage renal disease worldwide.
