The organ required for kidney transplantation can be obtained from two sources: from a living donor (usually a family member) and a cadaver (a person with brain death). After the operation, the hospital stay is 1-3 weeks in conditions where everything is suitable. Care should be taken in the first 6 months after transplantation to protect the organ and to avoid opportunistic infection. Under suitable conditions, this surgery takes 2-4 hours. As every surgery has its own risks, kidney transplant surgery also has some risks.
What is Organ Transplant?
Organ transplantation is the operation in which an organ is removed from the donor body and then placed in a recipient body to replace a damaged or missing organ. The organs or tissues to be transplanted can be taken from living bodies or cadavers. Transplantation medicine is one of the most challenging and complex areas of modern medicine. The organs that can be successfully transplanted today include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, thymus and uterus. The key to organ transplant are rejection problems such as the body's immune response to the transplanted organ, resulting in possible transplant failure and the need to remove the organ immediately from the recipient.
