Kidney Transplant Types

There are two types of kidney transplantation, cadaveric and living.

TRANSPLANT FROM CADAVER
Transplantation from a cadaver is performed by transplanting a kidney from a deceased person. The priority should be to increase the number of transplants from cadavers so that organ transplantation can be performed on a larger number of patients with kidney failure. The majority of kidney transplants in the world are kidney transplants made from cadavers. In our country, transplants from cadavers are very few.

In our country, 60 thousand patients enter dialysis and six thousand new patients are added to this number every year. On the other hand, an average of two to three thousand kidney transplants can be performed annually. About 10 percent of dialysis patients die each year.

LIVE DONOR RENAL TRANSPLANTATION
In long-term follow-ups, living kidney transplants give more successful results than cadaveric transplants. However, in kidney transplantation, the donor is primarily tried to be obtained from a cadaver. In our country, we see that the best treatment for kidney failure patients is living kidney transplantation. Studies of living kidney donors have been shown to maintain their lives normally. The remaining kidney functions increase slightly over time.
