Transplant Candidate Evaluation

​

Transplant Donor Evaluation

Transplant donor evaluation is a comprehensive process used to assess the suitability and safety of individuals who wish to donate a kidney, particularly living kidney donors. The primary goal is to protect the donor from unacceptable short-term and long-term health risks while ensuring the donated kidney provides optimal outcomes for the recipient.

Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation is a form of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in which a healthy kidney from a donor is surgically implanted into a recipient with irreversible kidney failure, replacing the function of the failed kidneys. It is considered the preferred long-term treatment option for suitable patients with end-stage kidney disease because it provides improved survival, better quality of life, and greater independence compared with long-term dialysis in appropriately selected candidates.

Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by excessive urinary protein loss due to damage of the glomerular filtration barrier, resulting in generalized body swelling (oedema). It is defined by severe proteinuria, usually Adults: ≥3.5 g/day of proteinuria
