The donor kidney is taken from the donor and placed into the recipient. The kidney is usually placed below one of the recipient's own kidneys.
The donated kidney is connected to the recipient's renal artery and renal vein and also connected to the bladder. Often the donated kidney starts functioning as soon as it is connected to the blood supply.

If they think that you need a heart-transplant, you will be put through a "transplant assessment" to see if you are suitable.
