Kidney transplants save lives, offering hope to those with failing kidneys. But what exactly happens during this life-changing procedure? A kidney transplant involves replacing a diseased kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This can come from either a living or deceased donor. The new kidney takes over the job of filtering blood, removing waste, and balancing fluids. Transplants can drastically improve quality of life, reducing the need for dialysis and allowing for a more normal lifestyle. However, it's not without challenges. Patients must take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ. These medications come with their own set of side effects. Understanding the ins and outs of kidney transplants can help patients and their families make informed decisions.
