For patients with kidney disease who are threatened by kidney failure, renal replacement therapy comes up as a possible treatment. What exactly does this therapy and the included "kidney transplant" mean?  Many patients ask questions like:

• Is transplant a possible option for me?

• What is the procedure of a transplant?

• Can the kidney come from a living relative?

• Is the transplant operation dangerous?

If you have also any of these questions or others, do not hesitate to ask in one of our centres. If you want to start the procedure of kidney transplant we will make contact to the transplant centre of the university hospital Freiburg ? one of our close partners.

After your transplantation you must stay in touch with your healthcare team and follow their advice to stay healthy and watch your kidney function.
