Renal transplantation is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end- stage renal disease. The indication for transplant is end-stage renal disease (ESRD), regardless of the primary cause. End-stage renal disease is the name for kidney failure so advanced that it can not be reversed (''renal'' is another word for kidney).
The name is appropriate: the kidneys in end-stage renal disease function so poorly that they can longer keep you alive. Healthy kidneys clean blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep the bones strong and blood healthy. When they fail, harmful wastes build up in the body, blood pressure may rise, and body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells.

When this happens, needs treatment to replace the work of the failed organ. Kidney transplantation is a procedure that replaces a healthy kidney from one person to another body. This one new kidney takes over the work of the two failed ones.
Renal transplant is typically classified as deceased-donor (formerly known as cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ. Living-donor renal transplants are further classified as genetically related (living-related) or non-related (living-unrelated) transplants, depending on whether a biological relationship exists between donor and recipient.
Kidney transplantation is not a complete cure, although many people who receive a transplant are able to live much as they did before their kidneys failed. A successful transplant requires close follow-up with your doctor and you must always take your medicine as directed.
