Kidney Transplant
Munich
Kidney Transplant in Munich is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network.
A kidney transplant places a healthy kidney from a living or a deceased donor into a person whose own kidneys have failed, restoring the body's ability to filter the blood and freeing the patient from long-term dialysis. It is the only lasting treatment for end-stage kidney failure and the most commonly performed organ transplant in the world. Patients travel abroad for a kidney transplant to reach experienced transplant centres where the recipient and a potential living donor can be assessed together, and where the surgery and the early recovery are handled under one roof. Compared with years of dialysis, a successful transplant offers a markedly better quality of life and a return to normal daily activity.
