Why is kidneytransplant done?

Kidney transplants are performed when both of a person's kidneys no longer function (kidney failure) and the kidneys will not ever function again, this condition can be due to injury or disease.

Usually patients will be on some form of dialysis until they receive the kidney transplant, and once the transplant is received the patient will need to continue on immunosuppressant drug therapy for the rest of their life to avoid their body rejecting the transplanted kidney.
