Kidney Transplantation Is The Most Common Form Of Solid Organ Transplantation - Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the most common form of solid organ transplantation; the main indication is end-stage renal failure. Absolute contraindications include comorbidities that may threaten the survival of the graft, which can be detected by a thorough examination. Relative contraindications are poorly regulated diabetes, which leads to kidney failure. Patients over the age of 60 can be candidates for transplantation if they are otherwise healthy and functionally independent with good environmental support, if they have a realistically long life expectancy, and if transplantation would significantly improve their functionality and quality of life, and not just free them from dialysis.
