The best kidney transplants are performed at the Prof. (Dr.) Sham Sunder Clinic. A surgical procedure called a kidney transplant is used to treat kidney failure. Through urine, the kidneys filter waste from the blood and expel it from the body. They also aid in keeping the electrolyte and fluid balance in your body. Waste accumulates in the body if your kidneys stop functioning, which can make you very ill. A procedure called dialysis is frequently used to treat people whose kidneys have failed. When the kidneys stop functioning, waste accumulates in the bloodstream and is filtered mechanically by this treatment. Some people with failing kidneys might be eligible for a kidney transplant. In this procedure, donor kidneys from a live or deceased person are used to replace one or both kidneys. Both dialysis and kidney transplants have advantages and disadvantages. Dialysis is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Making repeated trips to a dialysis facility is frequently necessary for the treatment of dialysis. Your blood is purified using a dialysis machine at the dialysis facility. If you qualify for home dialysis, you'll need to buy the necessary supplies and learn how to use them. You may be able to break your long-term dependence on a dialysis machine and the rigid schedule that comes with it with a kidney transplant. You may be able to lead a more active life as a result. However, not everyone is a good candidate for a kidney transplant. This includes those who are significantly overweight and those who have active infections. Your surgeon will insert a donated kidney into your body during a kidney transplant. Despite having two kidneys at birth, it is possible to live a healthy life with only one kidney that is functioning. You will need to take immune-suppressing drugs after the transplant to prevent your immune system from attacking the new organ.
