Kidney transplant
Kidney transplantation is the transplantation of kidneys from healthy people to patients with kidney disease and loss of kidney function. Surgery is an effective method for treating chronic renal failure. Kidney transplantation is divided into autologous kidney transplantation, allograft nephrectomy, and heterologous kidney transplantation because of different donor kidney sources. It is customary to call the same kind of kidney transplantation simply "autologous" kidney transplantation. Both kidney transplants are labeled "autologous" or "xenogeneic."
