Kidney Transplantation Produce
Step By Step In Hasheminejad Hospital
What is Kidney Transplant
Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure to obtain a healthy Kidney from a donor who may be alive or dead and donate it to a person whose Kidneys are no longer functioning properly. The Kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine. Each Kidney is the size of a fist. The main function of the Kidneys is to filter and absorb minerals and fluids from the blood, and to remove waste products by producing urine. When your Kidneys lose the ability to purify the blood, the number of harmful fluids and waste products in your body increase, which can raise your blood pressure and lead to Kidney failure (final-stage Kidney disease). The final stage of Kidney disease occurs when the Kidneys have lost about 90% of their normal functioning ability.
