1 What happens in a kidney transplant?

A healthy kidney is taken from a person....

....and given to a person in need of a kidney.

Why do some people prefer a kidney to dialysis?

Dialysis takes up a lot of time, and for a busy person this could be awkward. A good transplant means you don't need to stay on a strict diet, and hopefully you can live a normal life.
