A Kidney Transplant is recommended when kidney function drops below 10–15% (Stage 5 CKD / ESRD). Preemptive transplantation (transplanting before starting dialysis) offers the best long-term survival.
Key Clinical Takeaways:
- Kidney transplant offers 2x to 3x higher life expectancy compared to long-term dialysis.
- Preemptive kidney transplant eliminates the need for prior dialysis and preserves cardiovascular health.
- Laparoscopic donor surgery ensures the donor recovers in 3 to 4 days with minimal pain.
