Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The new kidney is placed in the low abdomen and groin area and not in the natural place for your kidneys. Removing the old kidneys is very risky and should not be done unless there is uncontrolled infection, high blood pressure, or the kidneys are markedly enlarged such as with polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
Detailed explanation-2: -Some people with kidney failure may be able to have a kidney transplant. During transplant surgery, a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into your body. The new, donated kidney does the work that your two kidneys used to do.
