Kidney Transplantation: The Best Treatment Option for Kidney Failure

The Acıbadem Healthcare Group is a leading center for kidney transplantation in Turkey, offering advanced treatment for patients with kidney failure.

Kidney Transplant Surgery

Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure for patients suffering from kidney failure. Healthy kidneys perform multiple vital functions, including filtering waste products and toxins, secreting erythropoietin (which stimulates red blood cell production), and releasing renin (which helps regulate blood pressure). Kidney dysfunction can significantly impact essential bodily functions, leading to heart, lung, and bone problems. Progressive kidney failure is known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Patients with ESRD require dialysis or a kidney transplant. While dialysis can sustain life, it cannot fully replace the functions of a healthy kidney. Studies show that a successful kidney transplant offers better quality of life and longer life expectancy compared to dialysis. In the long run, it is also the most cost-effective alternative to dialysis.

During a kidney transplant surgery, the recipient receives a healthy kidney from either a deceased or living donor. The new kidney is placed in the abdominal cavity and connected to blood vessels and the bladder. The damaged kidneys are usually not removed, unless they cause additional health problems. Kidney transplantation is a major surgical procedure, and its success depends on multiple factors, including the expertise of the medical team and the transplant center.

Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at ACIBADEM Clinics in Turkey

At ACIBADEM Clinics in Turkey, the Neurology and Neurosurgery Departments offer advanced treatment methods for diseases affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system.

What is Neurology?

Neurology is a branch of medicine that focuses on disorders of the nervous system. These conditions may affect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or the peripheral nervous system (nerves that extend to all parts of the body). It is estimated that 1 in 6 people suffer from neurological disorders.

A doctor specializing in neurological conditions is called a neurologist. Neurologists are trained to diagnose and treat conditions such as migraine, stroke, epilepsy, nerve damage, hydrocephalus, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and many others.

Diagnosing and treating neurological disorders often requires expertise from various medical specialists. Comprehensive neurology centers, such as ACIBADEM, offer a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together neurology, radiology, interventional radiology, oncology, orthopedics, physiotherapy, and neurosurgery under one roof.

What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery, also known as neurological surgery, involves surgical treatment of neurological conditions. While neurologists focus on medications and non-surgical procedures, neurosurgeons can offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions.

In advanced neurology clinics, neurosurgeons are supported by high-tech intraoperative imaging and neuroimaging devices, which enhance surgical success rates and patient safety.

A Medical Check-up Can Detect Health Issues Before They Start or Early Enough for Successful Treatment

Acıbadem offers personalized health check-up packages to help you stay on top of your well-being.

What is a Medical Check-up?

A medical check-up is a preventive health examination for healthy individuals. It includes medical tests, physical examinations, and health risk assessments. The goal is to evaluate your overall health and detect potential health problems. Based on the results, a doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and other measures to maintain your health.

Why Are Regular Check-ups Important?

Many people do not visit a doctor or hospital when they feel healthy. However, a medical check-up can help preventthe need for multiple doctor visits in the future. Just as a dental check-up can help avoid complicated and lengthy dental treatments, routine health screenings are designed to detect health issues before they arise or early enough to be easily managed.

A personalized medical evaluation, based on your health condition, lifestyle, and family history, can help identify potential future health risks. For example, high cholesterol levels may indicate a risk for cardiovascular disease. A comprehensive health screening can also detect “silent” chronic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Early detection allows for better management of chronic conditions and helps prevent further health deterioration.

Most importantly, some simple tests can identify serious diseases at an early stage, when treatment is most effective. For example, a Pap smear test can detect cervical cancer in its early stages. That’s why a regular, comprehensive medical check-up is a key tool in preventing serious illnesses.

What Does a Medical Check-up Include?

Your individual health risks depend on various factors, including age, gender, environment, genetics, family history, lifestyle choices, and more. Because of this, the components of a medical check-up vary from person to person and even change for the same individual over time.

As a general rule, check-up packages become more extensive with age—for example, people over 40 should undergo more detailed health screenings compared to those in their 20s. However, a typical health check-up package usually includes:

• Review of your overall health status, medical history, pre-existing conditions (if any), habits, and lifestyle.
• Blood and urine tests to assess thyroid, liver, kidney function, immune system, and more.
• Imaging tests, such as X-ray, ultrasound, or scans.
• One or more medical examinations and consultations.

Based on the results, a doctor may recommend additional tests, such as:

• Cardiac and lung function tests
• Bone density screening
• Mammography
• Colorectal or prostate cancer screening
• Eye examination
• Skin check-up

A regular health assessment can range from a head-to-toe examination to a targeted screening for specific diseases.
