Question
Write a short note on Kidney Transplantation?
✓
Answer
Kidney Transplantation is the ultimate method for correction of acute renal failures. This involves the transfer of a healthy kidney from one person (donor) to another person with kidney failure.
The donated kidney may be taken from a healthy person who is declared brain dead or from sibling or close relatives to minimize the chances of rejection by the immune system of the host. Immunosuppressive drugs are usually administered to the patient to avoid tissue rejection.
