Kidney transplantation is done by transferring the kidneys from a relative or from a newly deceased person. In both cases the transferred kidneys must be compatible with the patient's body.
But can all patients undergo kidney transplantation?
No, some patients have some medical problems that impede the transplant process. Others prefer the washing process for surgery. Those who prefer the transplant should wait a long time for compatibility tests.
Statistics show that about 11,000 UK residents performed the transplant successfully. And that approximately 1,750 operations are conducted annually.
