A kidney/ renal surgery or transplantation is the transplant of a kidney done to a patient who is at the end-stage of the kidney disease. The patients suffering from kidney diseases always require superior quality care, hope and guidance. Typically, the kidney hospitals in Chennai classify the living donor or deceased donor depending on the source of the donor organ.
