Thanks to modern techniques and improvement in this type of surgery, kidney transplants are now successful.
The first kidney transplants in humans were made in the fifties with little impact and fortune. In April 1962, after the discovery of the immunosuppressive effect of certain drugs, we were able to practice with the first successful kidney transplant between genetically distinct individuals.
How are preparations for a kidney transplant
• kidney transplantation is a complementary treatment for regular dialysis in patients who are in end-stage renal failure.
• The donor may be a living individual related to the recipient (parents or siblings of the small) or a deceased individual.
• Patients with kidney transplantation as the only possible option must first be submitted to a series of tests designed to detect diseases that could affect the evolution of the patient and transplanted.
• The study of incompatibility antigens that define the immunological character of the tissues, allowing transplanting kidneys from living or dead to the most appropriate recipients, thus reducing the rejection reaction in the patient and increase survival of the transplanted kidney.
• On the other hand, to counter organ rejection, the patient receives a transplant shortly before immunosuppressive medication, which is to be increased when the rejection is evident.
