Non-living donors are those who have allowed organs to be taken from their bodies when they die. Both types can be successful transplants.rnrnFor kidney transplantation, the donor and the recipient must have similar chemical <strong>characteristics called antigens<\/strong>. Else, the recipientu2019s immune system will reject the new kidney.rnrn\n    <h2 id=\"procedure\" class=\"section-heading\">Procedure: Kidney Transplant Abroad<\/h2>\n    rnrnThe Kidney Transplant procedure requires the <strong>new kidney to be placed on the lower right or left side of the abdomen<\/strong>, which is connected to adjacent blood vessels. This positioning helps to connect the new kidney easily to the blood vessels and the bladder. The new kidneyu2019s ureter is attached to the bladder to allow urine to pass out of the body.rnrn<strong>The diseased kidneys are not removed, except in these cases:<\/strong>rnrnRepeated infection that could affect the transplanted kidneyrnUncontrollable hypertension brought on by the original kidneysrnBackflow of urine into the kidneysrn<\/p>\n<h3>Ways To Perform a Kidney Transplant Procedure<\/h3>\n<p>rnThe kidney transplant surgery can be done in different ways:rnrn<strong>Open Surgery:<\/strong> The surgeon operates conventionally.rn<strong>Laparoscopic Surgery:<\/strong> The surgeon operates using a laparoscope more effectively.rn<strong>Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopy:<\/strong> The surgeon operates on the patient remotely with the assistance of a robot.rnrn<strong>90% of kidney transplant operations are done through laparoscopic surgery.<\/strong> If the patient is younger and more healthy, doctors recommend robotic-assisted laparoscopy.rn<\/p>\n<h3>Who Is a Candidate for Kidney Transplant<\/h3>\n<p>rnAnyone with<strong> end-stage renal disease<\/strong> is considered a candidate for a kidney transplant.rnrnHowever, other criteria must also be met, such as no active infections, cancer, or severe circulatory problems involving the heart, brain, or major blood vessels.rnrnYou must also be willing to take medication for the rest of your life to prevent your body from rejecting the new kidney.rn<\/p>\n<h3>How long does recovery take after Kidney Transplant?<\/h3>\n<p>rnAfter a kidney transplant, people recover at different speeds.

Diseases like diabetes, obesity, or heart conditions can lead to kidney failure. When kidneys fail, they cannot properly remove waste, leading to serious health issues or even death.\r\n\r\nWhen renal function declines to about<strong> 85-90%[reference name=\"National Kidney Foundation\" heading=\"Choosing A Treatment For Kidney Failure\" number=\"11\" text=\"85-90% of your kidney function is gone\" url=\"https:\/\/www.kidney.org\/atoz\/content\/choosingtreat\"],<\/strong> symptoms like blood in urine, vomiting, and fatigue emerge, signalling the need for immediate treatment.\r\n<h3>Need for Kidney Transplant<\/h3>\r\nDialysis, which <strong>mimics kidney function<\/strong>, is the initial treatment doctors recommend, which can sustain patients for a long time. If dialysis does not work and kidney function further deteriorates, a kidney transplant becomes an essential consideration.\r\n\r\nA 2021 study by NCBI found that dialysis in the US costs over USD$98,000[reference name=\"National Library of Medicine\" heading=\"Dialysis and Total Health Care Costs in the United States and Worldwide: The Financial Impact of a Single-Payer Dominant System in the US\" number=\"12\" text=\"Using these models, the predicted annual dialysis cost per patient in the United States is US$98,410 \" url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8729831\/\"] per person. Considering the expense and discomfort, doctors often suggest a kidney transplant as the ideal treatment for kidney failure.\r\n<h3>Types of Donors for Kidney Transplant<\/h3>\r\nThere are two types of kidney donors: l<strong>iving and non-living (or cadaver donors)<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nLiving donors choose to donate one of their kidneys. Non-living donors are those who have allowed organs to be taken from their bodies when they die. Both types can be successful transplants.\r\n\r\nFor kidney transplantation, the donor and the recipient must have similar chemical <strong>characteristics called antigens<\/strong>. Else, the recipient\u2019s immune system will reject the new kidney.\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"procedure\" heading=\"Procedure: Kidney Transplant Abroad\"]\r\n\r\nThe Kidney Transplant procedure requires the <strong>new kidney to be placed on the lower right or left side of the abdomen<\/strong>, which is connected to adjacent blood vessels. This positioning helps to connect the new kidney easily to the blood vessels and the bladder. The new kidney\u2019s ureter is attached to the bladder to allow urine to pass out of the body.\r\n\r\n<strong>The diseased kidneys are not removed, except in these cases:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nRepeated infection that could affect the transplanted kidney\r\nUncontrollable hypertension brought on by the original kidneys\r\nBackflow of urine into the kidneys\r\n<h3>Ways To Perform a Kidney Transplant Procedure<\/h3>\r\nThe kidney transplant surgery can be done in different ways:\r\n\r\n<strong>Open Surgery:<\/strong> The surgeon operates conventionally.\r\n<strong>Laparoscopic Surgery:<\/strong> The surgeon operates using a laparoscope more effectively.\r\n<strong>Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopy:<\/strong> The surgeon operates on the patient remotely with the assistance of a robot.\r\n\r\n<strong>90% of kidney transplant operations are done through laparoscopic surgery.<\/strong> If the patient is younger and more healthy, doctors recommend robotic-assisted laparoscopy.\r\n<h3>Who Is a Candidate for Kidney Transplant<\/h3>\r\nAnyone with<strong> end-stage renal disease<\/strong> is considered a candidate for a kidney transplant.\r\n\r\nHowever, other criteria must also be met, such as no active infections, cancer, or severe circulatory problems involving the heart, brain, or major blood vessels.\r\n\r\nYou must also be willing to take medication for the rest of your life to prevent your body from rejecting the new kidney.\r\n<h3>How long does recovery take after Kidney Transplant?<\/h3>\r\nAfter a kidney transplant, people recover at different speeds. People can return to day-to-day lives in about <strong>2-3 months[reference name=\"NHS Blood and Transplant\" heading=\"Kidney transplant FAQs\" number=\"13\" text=\"For patients that worked before the transplant, they are usually back to work within 2-3 months of the transplant. \" url=\"https:\/\/www.nhsbt.nhs.uk\/organ-transplantation\/kidney\/is-a-kidney-transplant-right-for-you\/kidney-transplant-faqs\/\"].<\/strong> As time passes, you will need fewer clinic visits. <strong>After 3-6 months<\/strong>, rejection risk drops, and medication decreases.\r\n\r\nTo recover faster, follow doctors\u2019 instructions and lead a healthy lifestyle.\r\n<h3>Risks associated with Kidney Transplant<\/h3>\r\n<strong>Infections:<\/strong> The body is weakened due to immunosuppressants.\r\n<strong>Rejection:<\/strong> Possible due to blood clots or early kidney disease recurrence.\r\n<strong>Cardiac issues:<\/strong> Risk of heart attack due to blood supply blockage\r\n<strong>Delayed graft function:<\/strong> A new kidney may take time to function properly, especially from deceased donors.\r\n<strong>High Blood Cholesterol<\/strong>\r\n<strong>Liver Damage<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"hospital\" heading=\"Best Hospitals for Kidney Transplant in Turkey\"]\r\n\r\n[listing1]\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"surgeon\" heading=\"Best Surgeon for Kidney Transplant in Turkey\"]\r\n\r\n[doctors1]\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"conclusion\" heading=\"Conclusion \"]\r\n\r\nGet the <strong>best kidney transplant<\/strong> at top hospitals in <strong>Turkey at low costs.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFind out the travel process for international patients.\r\n\r\nRemember <strong>safe, legal, and best-in-class<\/strong> kidney transplant program is just a call away!\r\n\r\nA healthier you awaits you, so contact us and know all your options today!\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"safety\" heading=\"Is Kidney Transplant in Turkey Safe?\"]\r\n\r\nGetting a Kidney Transplant in <strong>Turkey is safe.<\/strong> With success rates ranging between<strong> 94% to 96%,<\/strong> international patients are choosing Turkey as a destination for kidney transplant programs.\r\n\r\n[h2 id=\"faq\" heading=\" FAQ\"]\r\n\r\n[accordion title=\"What is the Life Expectancy after getting Kidney Transplant? \"]\r\n\r\nLife expectancy after a kidney transplant can range from 15 to 25 years.
