Dialysis removes waste and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail. It's a life-sustaining treatment that performs the filtering function of healthy kidneys when they can no longer do so effectively.

What is kidney transplantation?

A surgical procedure where a healthy kidney replaces a failed one. The new kidney comes from either a living donor or a deceased donor. It's considered the best treatment for end-stage kidney disease.

Who needs dialysis or transplant?

Patients with advanced or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) when kidneys function at less than 15% capacity. Your nephrologist will evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment option.

Is transplant permanent?

The kidney can last many years with proper medication and follow-up. Living donor kidneys typically last 15-20 years, while deceased donor kidneys last 10-15 years on average. Lifelong immunosuppressive medication is required.

Yes. Donors undergo strict medical evaluation and long-term monitoring. Living kidney donation is considered very safe with minimal long-term health risks. Donors typically live normal, healthy lives after donation.

How long is hospital stay after transplant?

Typically 5–10 days depending on recovery. Most patients are discharged within a week if there are no complications. Close follow-up appointments are scheduled for the first few months.
