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.
