Human body has some vital organs, which all are essential for a human life. In absence of even one such organ, any human cannot survive. Kidney is one of the vital organs whose basic task is to purify the blood and throw out the toxins and waste materials from the body. The kidneys act as the purifier and separate the bad elements from the body, thus keeping the blood pure which results in keeping the diseases away from the body.
So, it is very important that kidneys should always work efficiently. Now, when these crucial organs of the body stop functioning, it is said to be renal failure or kidney failure. It has been observed that the cases of kidney failures have increased during the past century because of unhealthy conditions and increase in the waste materials that mixes in the blood with the air and water. In simple words, when you will have to work more against your capacity, it will definitely affect the working condition. Diabetes is one of the major reasons for renal failure.
Now, what is the solution for this problem? How patients of kidney failure can live further? The solution to all such queries is kidney transplant surgery. Now, when someone's kidney stops functioning and do not purify the blood properly, then he/she has the below mentioned ways for the treatment; haemodialysis, kidney transplant and peritoneal dialysis. People usually consider transplant as it has fewer restrictions on diet and gives more liberty as compared to other processes.
Kidney transplant is a very complicated surgery. It involves donor and receiver. Donor is the one who donates his/her kidney to the receiver who is suffering from kidney failure. In this procedure, a healthy kidney is placed in the space of non functioning kidney. The new healthy kidney is kept on the left side or lower right of the receiver's abdomen. This positioning is done as it becomes easy to connect bladder and blood vessels. The veins and arteries of the donor's kidney are connected with those of the receiver. Then the new kidney's urethra is attached with the bladder of the patient for urination.
The laparoscopic surgery is a very advanced way in the medical field. Kidney transplant with this is becoming very popular as it is almost a painless procedure.
There are many examples where the kidney transplant procedure has failed. This can be avoided with the proper medication and following all the advice of doctor.
