Neerusiirdamised

Neerusiirdamised, also known as kidney transplantation, is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or damaged kidney with a healthy kidney from a donor. This life-saving treatment is typically performed when a patient's kidneys have failed to the point where dialysis is no longer sufficient or desired. The new kidney can come from a living donor, such as a family member or friend, or from a deceased donor.

The process begins with a thorough evaluation of potential recipients to determine their suitability for a transplant. This includes assessing their overall health, immune system compatibility with potential donors, and the absence of conditions that might complicate the surgery or recovery. Once a suitable donor kidney is identified, the recipient undergoes surgery. The donor kidney is usually placed in the lower abdomen, connected to the recipient's blood vessels and bladder. The original diseased kidneys are often left in place unless they are causing specific problems.

Following the transplant, recipients require lifelong immunosuppressive medication to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ. Regular medical check-ups and monitoring are essential to ensure the transplanted kidney is functioning well and to manage any potential complications. Neerusiirdamised can significantly improve the quality of life and life expectancy for individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease.
