How about a kidney transplant?

summary

Because the renal function of the human body will gradually decline with the growth of age. When an adult is 90 years old, his renal function is half of that of a normal middle-aged adult. For patients with renal function loss, kidney transplantation can improve the renal function. If the effect of the operation is good, the postoperative rejection is small, Then he and she should be in addition to the kidney, also have a normal renal function. So let's talk about kidney transplantation?.

How about a kidney transplant?

First, patients who have completed kidney transplantation must take anti rejection drugs orally for a long time and take them for life. However, only when the disease does not develop, for example, kidney damage is not caused by systemic diseases, then a transplanted kidney can be used for decades. If it is a systemic disease, For example, systemic lupus erythematosus and other systemic immune system diseases, not only try to transplant the kidney, but also may get sick again, and eventually make the transplanted kidney lose its function.

Second, kidney transplantation is the earliest and mature technology in China. In China, the epidemiological survey data of 5-year survival rate of renal transplant recipients over 90% are generally within 10 years, but in the long run, the effect is not satisfactory. Some experts pointed out that half a year after kidney transplantation, there are still 25% - 40% of kidney transplant patients will gradually suffer from renal dysfunction, proteinuria, progressive anemia and reduced volume of transplanted kidney, etc.

Third: kidney transplantation, renal dialysis in patients with advanced uremia, a treatment, that is, kidney transplantation operation, is a relatively successful, but there are also some disadvantages. Compared with dialysis patients, transplant patients have less restrictions and higher quality of life.

matters needing attention

Kidney transplantation is not going to last forever. Younger patients are likely to need two or more times in their life. If the transplantation fails, they can go back to dialysis treatment and wait for another transplantation.
