Why Choose Kidney Replacement Surgery?

For those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or irreversible kidney failure, kidney replacement surgery, sometimes referred to as kidney transplantation, can be a lifesaver. A healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor is surgically implanted into the recipient's body to efficiently restore renal function and enhance general health and quality of life.

What are the benefits of kidney transplant surgery?

For those with renal failure, kidney transplant surgery provides many advantages, such as enhanced energy, decreased reliance on dialysis, better quality of life, and the freedom to follow a less restrictive diet. Furthermore, a kidney transplant that is successful might greatly increase the recipient's life expectancy in comparison to continuing on dialysis.

Common causes of end stage kidney disease include:-

  • Diabetes – These patients have a continuously high blood sugar. This high blood sugar can damage the filters in the kidneys, leading to long-term kidney damage and finally kidney failure. This is called diabetic nephropathy.
  • High blood pressure or hypertension – This is another common cause of kidney disease and failure. High blood pressure in the tiny blood vessels to the kidney leads to damage and prevents the filtering process from working properly.
  • Blockages in the arteries that bring blood to the kidneys over time called renal artery stenosis is another cause of end stage renal disease
  • Another condition is called polycystic kidney disease which is an inherited condition. There are several large cysts or hollow spaces formed within the kidney that make its normal functioning difficult.
  • There may be congenital problems in development of kidneys. This occurs since before birth and manifests when over 90% of the kidney function is compromised.

Why Transplant over dialysis :

The reason is simple: People who get transplants generally live longer than those who get dialysis. For example, an adult who’s 30 and on dialysis might live another 15 years. With a transplant, that number jumps to 30-40 years.

Not only do people who get transplants usually live longer, they also tend to have:

  • Better quality of life. They don’t spend hours each week getting dialysis, and they’re more likely to go back to work.
  • Fewer limits on their diet
  • Fewer long-term health problems from the transplant than people have with dialysis
  • More energy
  • Cost effective

Types of kidney transplant :

  • Deceased – donor kidney transplant
  • Living – donor kidney transplant

People can survive with just one healthy kidney, so someone with two healthy kidneys may choose to donate one. This is called a living donor transplant. A deceased donor kidney transplant comes from someone who has just died. You can get this type of transplant by being on the national waiting list.
