This blog explores the latest advancements and techniques in kidney transplant surgery at Livasa Hoshiarpur, providing an in-depth overview to educate patients and families seeking this critical service.

Understanding Kidney Transplants

A kidney transplant involves the surgical placement of a healthy kidney from a donor into a patient whose kidneys have failed. Kidney failure or ESRD can be due to chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis. For individuals on dialysis or suffering from poor kidney function, a transplant can dramatically improve their quality of life.

Globally, approximately 690,000 people receive a kidney transplant each year, with success rates improving due to advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapies. In India, more than 5,000 kidney transplants are performed annually, highlighting the increasing need and success of this procedure.
