Kidney Transplantation

Kidney for transplantation come from two different sources:
A Living donor or a deceased donor
The Living Donor
Sometimes family members, including brother sisters parents ,children (18 years or older), uncles,
Aunts, cousins, or a spouse or close friend may wish to donate a kidney . That person is called a living
Donor. The donor must be in excellent health, well informed about transplantation, and able to give informed consent. Any healthy person can donate a kidney safely.
Living Donor Kidney Transplantation
Living donor kidney transplants are the best option for Many patients for several reasons.

Better long- term results
No need to wait on the transplant waiting list for a kidney from a deceased donor
Surgery can be planned at a time Convenient for both the donor and recipient
Lower risks of complications or rejection , and better early function of the transplanted kidney

Any healthy person can donate a kidney. When a living person donates a kidney the remaining kidney will enlarge slightly as it takes over the work of two kidneys . Donors do not need medication or special diets once they recover from surgery. As with any major operation there is a chance of kcomplications,

General health , and kidney function as most other people . the kidney loss does not interfere with a woman’s ability to have children.

Deceased donor

A deceased donor kidney , liver, heart , lungs, comes from a person who has suffered brain death. The uniform Anatomical Gift Act allows everyone to consent to organ donation for transplantation at the time of death and allows families to provides such permission as well. After permission for donation is granted , the kidneys are removed and stored until a recipient has been selected
