Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). Transplantation is necessary because the recipient’s organ has failed or has been damaged by disease or injury. What is living-kidney donor transplant? A living-donor kidney transplant is when a kidney from a living donor is removed and placed into a recipient whose kidneys no longer function properly. Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys, which makes living-donor kidney transplant an alternative to deceased-donor kidney transplant. Complications of kidney transplant  There are multiple complications of kidney transplant. These could be pain, blood clot, wrong reaction to anesthesia, hernia, readmission to the hospital, testicular swelling, and even death.
