Modern transplant medicine is achieving more and more success. Among other procedures, it offers the possibility of kidney transplantation. This type of transplant can save a person’s life in cases when salvation seems impossible, for example in acute renal failure.

Kidney transplantation in Daegu provides access to the best achievements of transplantology. Doctors here have enormous qualifications and unique experience, which allow them to perform transplantation safely and effectively.

     Diagnostics

A kidney cannot be transplanted immediately: a donor organ is sometimes incompatible with the recipient’s body. To determine compatibility, doctors prescribe preliminary examinations:

  • blood type determination. Transplant surgery is possible only if the donor and recipient are compatible by blood group;
  • HLA testing. This is a special study that reveals tissue compatibility between the donor and the recipient.

Types of transplantation

There are several ways to transplant a kidney from one body to another. All of them are practiced with high success rates in South Korea:

  1. transplantation from a living related donor. The donor is a close relative — father, mother, or child. More distant relatives, up to the fourth degree of kinship, may also be possible;
  2. transplantation from a living unrelated donor. The donor is the husband or wife;
  3. cadaveric transplantation. It is possible if the donor gave consent during life for the use of their kidneys for transplantation.
