Kidney transplantation, for the vast majority of kidney patients, is the ultimate treatment method. But you may have some improper understanding about it. In this article, let’s have a quick look.

1. About kidney transplant form

Most kidney transplants require not removing the original kidney, but placing one more in the body to reduce the risk of infection.

However, some special cases, such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD) patients, if the kidney is too large, still need to remove the original kidney.

2. About the time for transplant

Many people think that kidney transplant is to be done when other treatment is ineffective.

But in fact, the earlier you do kidney transplant, the better.

When you go into uremia period, azotemia becomes very serious. And harmful substances such as creatinine and urea nitrogen have seriously damaged the respiratory system, nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, urinary system and many other systems. Such damage is often irreversible. So it's better to do kidney transplant before uremia, which can also reduce the rejection.

The survival rate of kidney transplantation is very high. For example, the five-year survival rate is over 90%, and even the 20-year survival rate is around 20%-30%. Only a small number of patients will have severe renal function decline after transplant, leading to re-dialysis.

And kidney transplant is just a kidney replacement treatment. After transplant, you have to fight against rejection for long-term. The application of immunosuppressants may bring you a lot of side effects, such as infections, cancer, diabetes, bone disease, etc.

Alternatives to kidney transplant

This is a systemic treatment, which can eliminate waste products and extra fluid from body via your urine, sweat and bowel movement. It can also dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements such as oxygen, nutrients and active ingredients of medicine can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. Moreover, they can reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse.
