The kidney is an important organ and is essential to maintain life. People are born with two kidneys, located on either side of the spine, behind the abdominal organs and below the rib cage. The main function of the kidney is to keep the body healthy by filtration of the blood to remove waste products from normal body functions, passing the waste from the body as urine and returning water and chemicals back to the body as necessary. The kidney is also responsible for the regulation of the blood pressure by releasing several hormones. It is also responsible for the stimulation of production of red blood cells by releasing the hormone erythropoietin.

Kidney Transplants involve placing the donated kidney which is needed to replace the work previously done by your kidneys. These kidneys may be delivered by a living related donor -- related to the person receiving the transplant, such as a parent, sibling or child. It can also come from a living unrelated donor, such as a friend or spouse. There are individuals who have donated their kidney post death and the person may have recently died.

The most common cause of Kidney Failure or Renal Failure occurs when the kidney is not able to filter out the waste material and there is an accumulation of toxic waste products in the body. In this case, either dialysis or transplantation is required. The most cause of End-Stage Renal Disease could be any of the disease which is diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic Kidney Disease and severe anatomical problems of the urinary tract. The end-stage renal disease includes hemodialysis, a mechanical process of cleaning the blood of waste products. Dialysis patients who also have severe medical problems such as cancer or active infections may not be suitable candidates for a Kidney Transplant.

In the procedure the healthy kidney is transported in cool salt water, which preserves the organ for up to 48 hours. This is helpful for the health care providers and also gives him time to perform tests to ensure that the donor's and recipient's blood and tissue match.
