Cadaver Transplant
A cadaver kidney transplant is a type of kidney transplant in which a donated kidney from a deceased donor (also known as a cadaveric donor) is transplanted into a person with end-stage kidney disease. This is a life-saving procedure that can help people with kidney failure to live longer, healthier lives.
When a person dies and their organs are donated for transplant, the organs are quickly removed and preserved until they can be transplanted into a recipient. The donated kidney is then carefully matched to a recipient based on factors such as blood type, tissue type, and other medical considerations.
Once a suitable match is found, the kidney transplant surgery is performed, and the new kidney is connected to the recipient's blood vessels and bladder. After the surgery, the recipient will need to take immunosuppressive medications to prevent their body from rejecting the transplanted kidney. With proper care and management, a successful cadaver kidney transplant can provide the recipient with improved kidney function and a better quality of life.
