Is Live Kidney Transplantation Risky?

If kidneys lose their ability to function, the condition is known as kidney failure. Generally, kidney failure is treated either by peritoneal dialysis or in serious cases, one needs to go through a kidney transplant. Kidney donation is the most common type of living organ donation. Till date, among all other transplantation, kidney transplantation is the most successful medical procedure.

Living donor kidney transplants are actually the best option for patients who have kidney failure. Here are some of the reasons:

• First of all the surgery can be planned according to convince of both the donor and the recipient.
• For live kidney transplantation, the recipient won’t have to wait in the transplant waiting list.
• Chances of risks and rejections are pretty less.
• Recipients are going to have long term benefit.
• Both the donor and the recipient can get back to normal life within a short period of time.

What are the possible risks?

As you can see, live kidney transplantation has a lot of benefits. Yet there are some possible risks. The most possible risk of transplant is that the body might reject the donor's kidney. But the actual fact is, about 90% of the recipients who have received the kidney from a living donor have lived for years. So live kidney transplant is quite on the positive side.

Well, if you feel some sort of unusual soreness at the site of the incision or if your urine amount has changed post-transplantation, then you have to consult your doctor. It means your body is rejecting the new kidney and you will have to resume the dialysis and go back for another procedure.

But as told earlier, 90% of people who have gone through live kidney transplantation have got good results. So the risk percentage is quite less.
