What is another word for Kidney Transplantation?
Pronunciation: [kˈɪdnɪ tɹansplantˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Kidney transplantation is the medical procedure that involves transplanting a healthy kidney from either a living or deceased donor to replace a damaged or non-functioning kidney in a patient. However, there are several synonyms for kidney transplantation that are used in the medical field. These include renal transplantation, kidney replacement, kidney graft, and renal graft. The term "renal" refers to the kidneys, and therefore, renal transplantation accurately depicts the essence of this medical procedure. Kidney graft and renal graft also refer to the replacement of a kidney, while kidney replacement is a simpler term that describes the same procedure. Regardless of the term used, the ultimate goal of a kidney transplant is to improve a patient's quality of life by restoring kidney function.
