surgical procedure to replace a failing kidney with a donor's

A kidney transplant, also known as renal transplantation, is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into a person whose kidneys are no longer functioning properly. This procedure is often necessary for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and can significantly improve the quality of life and longevity of the recipient.
