Kidney transplantation is the process of transplanting the kidney of another person to the dialysis patient or patients whose kidney function is severely decreased (GFR 20 ml / min). It is generally performed in two ways. The transplantation of the organ taken from the deceased individual is called a “kidney transplant from the cadaver”. The other method is the transplant of the kidney from the live donor. Kidney transplant can be performed in every dialysis patient if there is no medical impairment. Therefore, any dialysis patient without a medical disability listed below should contact the organ transplant center.

Conditions that Definitely Barrier to Kidney Transplant:

Cancer Disease
• Active AIDS
• Active Tuberculosis
• Active Hepatitis or Cirrhosis
Serious vascular disease
Active intravenous drug addiction
Life expectancy less than 5 years
• Recent Myocardial Infarction
End-stage heart, lung and liver failure

In addition, kidney transplantation may be a problem in patients who are extremely weak or obese, and smokers, although they do not constitute a definitive obstacle. Most of the kidney transplants in the world are kidney transplants made from cadaver. In contrast, in our country, the transfer from cadaver accounts for 20-30% of the total transplant number. Therefore, the first way to increase the number of organ transplants is to increase the number of organs taken from cadaver.

Kidney Transplant with Live Donor:

Anyone who has completed the age of 18 and whose mental balance is in place, can give his relative a kidney.

Who Cannot Be A Kidney Donor?

Although the age range is accepted as 18-65 in donor candidates, the upper limit may be higher according to the health status of the person and the state of kidney function. harmony is important. Tissue type is antigens that pass from human to parent inheritance and are on the surface of all cells. There are three main types of tissue antigens that make up the tissue type: A, B and DR. It has a total of six different antigens including 2DR. The greater the compatibility between these six antigens in transplants from the cave, the higher the working chances of the kidney and the DR compliance is absolutely sought. person tr It is regarded as an candidate for insertion.
