A kidney transplant involves surgery to replace a person's failing kidneys with a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor.
Situated beneath the rib cage on both sides of the spine, the kidneys are two bean-shaped organs. They are all roughly the size of a fist. Urine is their primary means of filtering and eliminating waste, minerals, and fluid from the blood. Hazardous amounts of fluid and waste build up in the body when the kidneys lose their capacity to filter, which can cause blood pressure to rise and kidney failure (end-stage renal disease).

A kidney transplant is a surgery where a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is placed into someone whose own kidneys aren't working properly. The kidneys, shaped like beans and located on each side of the spine below the ribs, normally filter waste and fluid from the blood to make urine.
The kidney performs several important functions in the human body. Even slight damage to the kidneys can, therefore, cause a lot of problems. When the kidney is rendered incapable of its main function, that is, removal of waste products from the blood, a condition called uremia develops.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of this condition do not develop unless 90 percent of the kidney is damaged. This is the time when an individual would require kidney transplantation surgery or dialysis to restore normal functioning.
Several other kidney diseases warrant the need for a kidney transplantation. Some of these conditions include the following:
