Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation places a healthy kidney from a living or diseased donor into the body of a person with end-stage kidney failure. It is one of the most common transplantation operations, and can help a person with kidney failure live much as he did before his kidneys failed.

If you or a friend or family member is considering a kidney transplantation, join our online support group for more information about this procedure and to contact people who can help.

Urinary Stones In Children

Children also develop urinary stones, though more rarely than adults. Too little water and too much salt in the diet, besides congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract, cause urinary stones in children. Urinary stones can be painful, but small stones sometimes come out by themselves with medicines and high fluid intake. Larger stones need to be removed surgically.
