What Is a Cadaveric Renal Transplant?

A cadaveric renal transplant involves using a kidney from a deceased donor. These donors have consented to organ donation, and the kidney is carefully matched to the recipient based on blood type, tissue compatibility, and other medical criteria.

Benefits of cadaveric transplant include:

• Reduced waiting time compared to finding a living donor

• Improved kidney function and quality of life

• Reduced dependence on dialysis

• Long-term survival benefits

Eligibility for Cadaveric Renal Transplant

Patients may be considered for cadaveric transplant if they:

• Have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)

• Are medically stable to undergo surgery

• Have no active infections or uncontrolled conditions

• Are approved after thorough evaluation by a nephrologist and transplant team

The Procedure

1. Pre-transplant evaluation:

   • Blood tests, imaging, and heart assessments

   • Tissue and blood group matching

   • Counseling and preparation for surgery

2. Surgery:

   • The donor kidney is surgically implanted into the recipient

   • Blood vessels and ureter are connected to the recipient’s urinary system

   • The procedure typically takes 3–4 hours

3. Post-transplant care:
