The donor kidney is taken from the donor and placed into the recipient. The kidney is usually placed below one of the recipient's own kidneys.
The donated kidney is connected to the recipient's renal artery and renal vein and also connected to the bladder. Often the donated kidney starts functioning as soon as it is connected to the blood supply.

What happens when you have kidney failiure?
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?
