What is Kidney


Transplant

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that’s done to treat kidney failure. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood and remove it from the body through urine. They also help regulate blood pressure and make hormones that keep the bones strong and the blood healthy.

Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys can no longer filter waste from the blood or remove it from the body. This can happen because of disease, injury, or other conditions that damage the kidneys. Kidney failure can lead to a build-up of toxins in the blood and can cause serious health problems.

A kidney transplant is a surgery to place a healthy kidney from a donor into a person whose kidneys are no longer working. The transplanted kidney takes over the work of the two failing kidneys. A kidney transplant is usually done when other treatments, such as dialysis, have not worked or are not possible.


Stones?

Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidney. They are made up of minerals and salts that form in the kidney and can travel down the urinary tract. Kidney stones can cause pain and other problems if they get stuck in the urinary tract.
