Why Kidney Transplant Is Needed

A kidney transplant is recommended for end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) most commonly caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic glomerulonephritis, or polycystic kidney disease, once the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste from the blood. It offers a more durable, higher quality-of-life alternative to long-term dialysis for eligible patients.

Signs You May Need Kidney Transplant

Symptoms of advancing kidney failure include persistent fatigue, swelling in the legs and around the eyes, reduced urine output, nausea, itching, and confusion as toxins build up in the blood. Lab tests showing severely reduced kidney function (low glomerular filtration rate) alongside these symptoms typically lead a nephrologist to begin transplant evaluation.

Types of Kidney Transplant

A living-donor transplant uses a kidney from a healthy, willing donor (often a relative), generally offering better long-term outcomes and shorter wait times. A deceased-donor transplant uses a kidney from someone who has passed away, and both types are surgically placed in the lower abdomen (rather than removing the failed kidneys, which are usually left in place) and connected to blood vessels and the bladder.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a transplanted kidney last?

Living-donor kidneys often function for 15-20 years or more, while deceased-donor kidneys typically last somewhat less long, though outcomes continue to improve with better matching and anti-rejection medications.

Will I need dialysis after a kidney transplant?

Most patients no longer need dialysis once the new kidney is functioning well, though a small number may need temporary dialysis immediately after surgery if the new kidney takes time to start working.

Do I need to take medication for life after a kidney transplant?

Yes, lifelong immunosuppressant medication is required to prevent your body from rejecting the new kidney, along with regular blood tests to monitor kidney function and medication levels.

How long is the wait for a kidney transplant?

Wait times vary significantly based on blood type, donor availability, and whether you have a living donor, and your transplant team can give you a more specific estimate based on your situation.

What is the success rate of kidney transplant surgery?

Success rates are strong, around 90%, and tend to be even higher with living-donor kidneys, especially when there's a good match between donor and recipient.
