Overview
Organ transplantation is an attempt to move an organ from one body known as the donor to another body that has organ damage known as the recipient. In a kidney transplant, a kidney that is still in good condition from a donor is inserted into the body of a recipient who is suffering from kidney failure. This kidney transplant therapy is one of several renal replacement therapy options indicated for people with kidney failure. Compared to other kidney replacement therapy options such as dialysis/hemodialysis, kidney transplantation is better in terms of providing safety, comfort and improving quality of life. Good results from transplantation procedures also continue to improve along with the development of medicine, better surgical techniques, developing technological support and the latest research.

Rejection Rate
Rejection is the most common complication experienced by patients after receiving a kidney transplant. This condition can occur because the body is not yet used to the new kidney organ. As a result, the immune system considers the kidneys as foreign objects and fights to attack the kidneys to protect the body.
At the National Hospital Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital , the rejection rate is calculated from the number of patients who experience rejection in the first 3 months after undergoing a kidney transplant. During 2023, there will be a decrease in the rate of acute rejection in post-kidney transplant patients. Even in the 4th trimester, there were no patients who experienced rejection in the first 3 months after kidney transplantation.
