It is not necessary that just people on dialysis get the kidney transplant, it is also true that you can get it done before such a situation arises. It is not just the actual procedure but the surgeon assists you with how the body is faring with the new kidney. Further, the decision to get a transplanted kidney is also taken in strict consultation with the surgeon.
