A successful kidney transplant may improve your blood counts and energy levels. The strength of your bones, your growth, and appetite may also improve. You may enjoy a less restricted diet.
Based on our past experience and literature evidence, the best outcome is achieved when the kidney is harvested from a matched living donor. The donor can be Parents, Children, Siblings, Spouse and Grandparents.
Patients who are eligible for kidney transplant are included in a waiting list for cadaver kidneys. If no living donor is available.
The criteria used to select a recipient of a donor organ include tissue-match between donor and recipient, waiting time on the list and recipient’s age among others. It may take several years for a suitable organ to be found.
The type of the donor organ may have a significant effect on the outcome of the transplantation procedure.
Studies have shown that people who receive a kidney from a living donor typically receive a better-quality organ because it is coming from a healthier person. A kidney from a living donor is immediately transplanted into the recipient but a deceased donor kidney is stored and often transported long distances. Kidneys from living donors function, on average, about twice as long as kidneys from deceased donors. The transplant can also be planned as “elective” surgery and can be done when the recipient is in the best possible health. In some cases, if a recipient has a living donor he or she can have a transplant before starting on dialysis. This can be very important to the recipients overall health and long-term survival. Although lifesaving, dialysis can cause many health problems and the longer the patient stays on dialysis the greater the risk of developing these problems. In addition to the benefit to the recipient. every time a kidney transplant is done with a living donor kidney there is one less person on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney. This contribution to the pool of donors helps others waiting on the list indirectly.
