Kidney Transplant Outcomes: Success, Failure, and Risks Explained

A kidney transplant replaces a damaged kidney with a healthy one, helping people with kidney failure live better lives.

Success rates are high, with most patients doing well for years.

The new kidney can be rejected by the body, which is a major problem.

Failure can happen for many reasons, including infections or the original kidney disease returning.

Patients take medicine to prevent rejection, but it can cause other health issues.

If a transplant fails, patients often go back on dialysis.

It's important to have regular check-ups and follow doctors' advice to keep the new kidney healthy.
