The surgeons cut the patient open and insert the new kidney. The existing kidneys are not removed, even if they're failing. It is considered an unneccessary risk and potential complications could arise due to how they are positioned in the abdominal cavity.
Since the originals are not being removed, the new one is placed in the patient's pelvic area, taking its blood supply from the iliac vein and artery rather than the renal.
When they do a kidney transplant, they just put in a new kidney. Doctors just attach the kidney to the vital organs needed to go to the bathroom. Doctors do leave the old, used kidney in.
Please see the Related Link. A kidney specialist is called a nephrologist.
Yes you can. Just make sure your body has totally healed and kidney working to the satisfaction of the doctors.
Doctors insert an IUD into the uterus through the vagina using a special tool. The IUD is placed in the uterus where it can prevent pregnancy by releasing hormones or creating a barrier for sperm.
no becase if someone is poor and your parents dont have a job you wont need another kidney.
Yes; I had kidney failure, and I had surgery and the doctors made me forget...

Dialysis
Kidney failure (also called renal failure) occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to effectively filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood. Because the kidneys play a vital role in maintaining the body’s internal balance, their failure affects multiple systems. What typically happens: Waste buildup (uremia) Healthy kidneys remove toxins and metabolic waste. When they fail, these substances accumulate in the blood, which can lead to: Fatigue and weakness Nausea and vomiting Loss of appetite Difficulty concentrating or confusion Itching and metallic taste in the mouth Fluid imbalance The kidneys regulate fluid levels. Failure can cause fluid retention, leading to: Swelling in the legs, ankles, or face Shortness of breath (if fluid builds up in the lungs) Rapid weight gain from fluid accumulation Electrolyte disturbances Kidneys maintain proper electrolyte balance. Disruptions may result in: High potassium (dangerous for the heart) Abnormal sodium levels Muscle cramps or irregular heart rhythms Blood pressure problems Kidney disease and hypertension often worsen each other. Poor kidney function may cause: Elevated blood pressure Increased cardiovascular risk Reduced red blood cell production Kidneys help stimulate red blood cell formation. Failure can contribute to anemia, causing: Persistent tiredness Pale skin Shortness of breath on exertion Acute vs. Chronic Kidney Failure Acute kidney failure (AKI): Develops suddenly, sometimes reversible if the underlying cause is treated. Chronic kidney disease (CKD): Gradual loss of function over time, which may progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). When kidney function becomes severely reduced If the kidneys can no longer support the body’s needs, medical interventions may be required, such as: Dialysis: Artificially removes waste and excess fluid Kidney transplant: Replaces lost kidney function Modern care often involves a combination of approaches: medications, dietary management, lifestyle adjustments, and when necessary, renal replacement therapies. Multidisciplinary management can significantly improve quality of life and outcomes. Important note Symptoms and progression vary widely depending on the cause, severity, and overall health of the individual. Anyone experiencing warning signs (swelling, reduced urine output, unexplained fatigue, or persistent nausea) should seek medical evaluation promptly. Early assessment and structured treatment planning, through integrated or combination-based care models used by specialized centers like MedicoExperts, can help patients better manage the condition and slow complications.Is this conversation helpful so far?
Doctors can manage a person with kidney dysfunction through several approaches: First, they may prescribe medications to control blood pressure, manage diabetes, or address electrolyte imbalances. Second, they can recommend dietary changes to reduce strain on the kidneys, such as limiting protein, sodium, and potassium intake. Lastly, if kidney function severely declines, doctors might suggest dialysis or kidney transplantation as necessary treatments.

Doctors can manage a person with kidney failure by prescribing medications to control blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup. They may recommend dietary changes to limit protein, potassium, and phosphorus intake. If necessary, doctors can also initiate dialysis to remove waste products from the blood or discuss the option of a kidney transplant.
