The dosage of cephalexin for a kidney transplant recipient can vary based on the individual's specific condition, renal function, and the type of infection being treated. Generally, the typical adult dosage ranges from 250 mg to 500 mg every 6 to 12 hours. However, it's crucial for kidney transplant recipients to have their dosages adjusted by a healthcare provider, considering their immunosuppressive therapy and potential interactions. Always consult a physician for personalized medical advice.

A kidney transplant requires two kidneys to replace the function of the recipient's kidneys?
A person can function perfectly normal with 1 health kidney. The surgery will take one kidney out of the donor (leaving one) and transplanting it into the recipient.
The legal aspects of the kidney transplant?
As soon as the kidney is inside the recipient, the donor has no legal claim to it. I think this will also apply to living donor liver transplants.
What is the procedure called to replace kidney function?
The procedure to replace kidney function is called kidney transplant. This involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into a recipient with end-stage kidney disease.

Because the patient's immune system is suppressed, he or she is at an increased risk for infection.
How is transplant done?
Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant. Answer: To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done. The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their lower abdomen. They join the veins/artery etc to the recipients, having disconnected them from the existing bad kidney. They do not take out the recipients bad kidneys (unless it has tumour) but leaves them there, as no point in performing unnecessary surgery.
How does a kidney transplant work?
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. Click on 'related links' below and you can see a picture of a typical transplant situation

What are the requirements for kidney transplant?
Well obviously your kidney has to be failing. but other than that you have to have below 30% function in your kidney. Note: you can survive with only 1 kidney so its more like below 30% function in 1 kidney When your kidney function is down to 12 -15 % then you will need to do dialysis or have a kidney transplant. For a transplant the donor's kidney has to be suitable for you. Blood types and tissues types are matched to get as close a match as possible. Some body like a close relative is a good donor. The donor should have no major health problems and the recipient should have no other major health problems apart from the kidney failure.
