Kidney transplant

Kidney transplant or Renal transplant is that the transplant of a kidney into a patient with End-Stage renal disorder (ESRD). Kidney transplant is usually classified as deceased-donor (formerly referred to as cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation counting on the source of the donor organ. the foremost serious risk of a transplant is that your body rejects the kidney. However, it's rare that your body will reject your donor kidney. The Mayo Clinic estimates that 90 percent of transplant recipients who get their kidney from a living donor live for a minimum of five years after surgery.
