Replacement of a diseased kidney by a donor kidney is called?

• A. RP
• B. Semen analysis
• C. Renal transplant
• D. Peritoneal dialysis

Answer: (C)

Replacing a diseased kidney with a donor kidney is called a renal transplant. It’s a surgical procedure where a healthy donor kidney is placed into the recipient, typically in the lower abdomen, and the donor kidney’s artery, vein, and ureter are connected to the recipient’s blood vessels and bladder. The goal is to restore kidney function so the body can filter waste again, often improving quality of life compared with ongoing dialysis. After a transplant, lifelong immunosuppressive therapy and regular follow-up are needed to prevent rejection and monitor function.

Semen analysis is related to fertility assessment, not kidney replacement. Peritoneal dialysis is a dialysis method that filters waste without transplanting an organ.
