Kidney Transplant

Living with long-standing kidney disease often means regular monitoring, ongoing treatment, and gradual adjustments to daily life. Over time, conversations may shift toward what future care could look like — including discussions around dialysis, transplant options, and long-term planning. At this stage, many patients want clear information to help them understand what each option involves before making any decisions.

A kidney transplant is one possible treatment for people with advanced kidney failure. It involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor to take over kidney function. For some individuals, transplantation may reduce the need for ongoing dialysis, but it also requires careful evaluation, lifelong medication, and regular follow-up care.

At Thomson Medical, we recognise that decisions around kidney transplantation are deeply personal and medically complex. Our transplant team provides structured assessments and ongoing guidance, taking time to explain the process, discuss suitability, and support you in considering the approach that aligns with your health needs and circumstances.
