Kidney transplant is a surgical process that replaces a damaged or failing kidney with a healthy one from a donor.
The symptom includes constant tiredness, swelling in the legs or face, poor appetite, nausea, and changes in how often you urinate. If you notice any of these symptoms, especially if you have existing kidney issues see a doctor right away. After running tests, your doctor may suggest dialysis or a transplant.
The new kidney is transplanted in the lower abdomen and connected to nearby blood vessels and the bladder during the surgery. The surgery takes around 3 to 4 hours and a hospital stay of about 5 to 10 days. To prevent rejection, patients must take drugs for the rest of their lives and have regular checkups. Always consult with a nephrologist or transplant specialist to understand your best treatment options.
