A clear, jargon-free definition, verified by the medical team at Clinique ESSAADA.
A surgical procedure that replaces the function of diseased kidneys with a healthy kidney from a donor. The donor may be living, often a compatible relative, or deceased. When it is possible, a transplant offers a quality of life close to normal and frees the patient from dialysis sessions. It requires lifelong immunosuppressive treatment.
