Renal Transplantation Procedure
The kidney is an organ of the urinary system of the human body; it is responsible for purifying the blood by removing urine and sediments. However, if the kidney fails to function due to a disease as in diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney inflammation, or polycystic kidney disease, the patient has two options for treating this kidney failure, they are either by having frequent dialysis or by undergoing kidney transplant, which is a surgery that replaces the affected kidney with another one taken from a living or deceased donor. This option allows the patient to avoid the risk of death and guarantees an easier and a healthier life.
Renal Transplantation Procedure Process
Before performing kidney transplant surgery as any Organ Transplants Procedures ,the patient undergoes many medical examinations to ensure his or her physical fitness for the surgery in addition to the availability of one or two kidneys from a deceased donor, however, if a kidney is given by a relative donor, it facilitates the process. In regard to a living related kidney transplant procedure, the donor undergoes some genetic and blood matching tests to donate one of the kidneys as the person is able to survive with only one healthy kidney. After having these steps done, the kidney transplant surgeon starts the transplant procedure by applying general anesthesia, making incision in the lower abdomen, removing the affected kidney, and replacing it with a healthy one, and then connecting the new kidney to the blood vessels and the ureter to the bladder.
Life after A kidney Transplant
After having this procedure, the patient has to stay in the hospital for a period of time for the purpose of ensuring the success of the operation by observing the proper functioning of the kidney, and then the doctor prescribes appropriate medicine that the patient takes throughout his or her life to help the body to adapt to the new kidney. Moreover studies have shown that the expectancy of all types of kidney transplant range from 15 to 20 years. However, the patient might increase this period by having medicines regularly, conducting periodic checks, following a healthy diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking sufficient quantities of water, and avoiding smoking and alcohol in addition to exercising to maintain healthy body.
