Kidney failure patients who are on waiting list hope to avoid or get off dialysis by kidney transplant and many of them believe kidney transplant is the only way and also the best way for kidney failure patients. Is this true? Is kidney transplant a good treatment option for kidney failure patients?

Kidney transplant is the best treatment option for kidney failure patients who have no urine output for several years. With kidney transplant, they have great chance to avoid or get off dialysis, and in some cases, patients go back to normal life and live as well as they did before. But one thing they need to know is they have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their life, so as to avoid kidney rejection.

Kidney transplant is a good treatment option for kidney failure patients, but not for these who still have good urine output. Kidney is the organ that takes charge of filtering and purifying blood. During this process, wastes and excess fluids are removed out of the body as urine. For kidney failure patients, urine output means kidneys still have some good function to filter blood. Under such a condition, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied inPeking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospitalto repair injured kidney intrinsic cells and improve kidney function. It is a herb-based treatment and with the help of it, GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) can be improved greatly. For kidney failure patients, no dialysis and kidney transplant are needed when GFR is improved to be higher than 15.

For kidney failure patients with good urine output, they need to run the following risk if they take kidney transplant:

1. Severe kidney rejection: This needs them to get the healthy kidney out of the body immediately.

2. Recurrence of kidney disease: In some cases, kidney problem comes back again after kidney transplant.

3. Second kidney failure: According to clinical studies, the average life span of a new kidney is about 7-10 years.

Kidney transplant is a treatment option, but it is not the best choice for some kidney failure patients. They choose the right option according to their own condition.
