The facts about kidney transplantation, from the experts.

A successful kidney transplant can transform the life of a person with kidney failure, and people with a well functioning transplant often feel much fitter than they did on dialysis.

Not everyone is suitable for transplant, however, and even those who are may not be suitable all the time.

It is essential to be thoroughly prepared for your kidney transplant.

This book will help you by answering all your questions about transplants and what they involve.
