A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is implanted into a person whose kidneys are no longer functioning properly. It is considered one of the most effective treatments for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. This procedure not only improves the quality of life for patients but also significantly increases their chances of long-term survival compared to ongoing dialysis treatment.
