Definition of «kidney transplant patients»

The term "kidney transplant patients" refers to individuals who have undergone a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney is implanted into their body, replacing one or both of their own failing kidneys. This type of surgery is typically performed on people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or chronic kidney failure, whose kidneys are no longer able to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. The goal of a kidney transplant is to improve the patient's quality of life by providing them with a functioning kidney that can perform these essential tasks naturally.
