The transplant procedure may be performed on patients with kidney failure due to a large variety of causes, but the most common are diabetes, inherited polycystic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis.
Liver transplantation is performed on those patients who have either chronic or acute liver failure. The liver transplant team consists of surgeons, physicians, anaesthetists and nursing staff.
