What Is a Kidney Transplant and How Does It Work?

A kidney transplant is a procedure where a kidney from a new donor is placed in your body. It helps people with end-stage renal disease, where the kidneys can no longer filter blood. A kidney transplant offers a healthier and longer life compared to dialysis. It is not just a surgery. This procedure is a set of medical steps that includes:

• Medical evaluations
• Choosing the right donor
• Surgery
• Recovery

At Aster CMI Hospital, our experts are here to help you from the first consultation to long after recovery.

Not every patient is eligible for a transplant right away. Some basic requirements include:

• You must have end-stage renal disease
