What is a Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant is a surgery where a healthy donor kidney from a donor is placed into someone whose kidneys are no longer working properly. This new kidney takes over the job of a normal healthy kidney, filtering the blood, removing waste and extra fluids, and regulating blood pressure. The donor can be someone who has passed away and donated their organs, or a living person (often a relative or friend) who chooses to give one of their kidneys.

Led by expert nephrologists and surgeons

Your kidneys play a vital role in your body, they are responsible for filtering and removing waste, regulating your blood pressure, and producing hormones for red blood cell production and healthy bones. When a your kidneys stop working properly, (kidney failure), due to advanced kidney disease, they are no longer able to perform their job, and dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed to take over the role.
