People who are having some serious infections, that includes tuberculosis, hepatitis and bone infections are those that could be a good candidate for a kidney transplant.

Many transplants are done on patients who are already on dialysis but can be opted by patients prior to being put on dialysis. It is also the work of the surgeon to check up on how your body is faring post transplant surgery.
