How long is the survival time after kidney transplantation?

summary

Kidney transplantation is the most effective way for patients with kidney disease to return to normal life. However, the whole process of kidney transplantation is quite complicated, including searching for the source of kidney, transplantation operation, postoperative changes and nursing, etc. However, many patients are very concerned about how long they can survive after kidney transplantation. Now let's talk about it in detail.

How long is the survival time after kidney transplantation?

Successful renal transplantation can avoid the need of dialysis, and is more effective than peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis in the treatment of renal failure. Successful transplantation of a kidney can provide 10 times more function than dialysis. Compared with dialysis patients, renal transplant patients have less restrictions and higher quality of life. Most patients feel better and more energetic than when they are on dialysis.

But kidney transplants don't last forever. Younger patients may need two or more transplants in their lifetime. If the transplant fails, the patient can go back to dialysis and wait for another transplant. Moreover, both the donor and the patient need no infection and other medical problems, which will not complicate the rehabilitation of the patient. Immunosuppressive drugs must be used to prevent rejection of transplanted kidney. These drugs have side effects that increase the risk of getting some infections, viruses and some types of cancer.

Therefore, there is no fixed answer for how long kidney transplantation can survive, which requires us to find ways to improve the survival rate of kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation is a huge system of medical engineering, in which every link must be done well in order to ensure the long-term survival of kidney transplantation and improve the survival rate of kidney transplantation. Special attention should be paid to the following aspects:

matters needing attention

Through our introduction, we know the specific answer to this question. To sum up, we can only say that the survival rate of patients after renal replacement depends on their own conditioning and other factors, and there is no standard survival time. Of course, we also hope that patients don't worry too much, put their minds in order, actively treat and care, and make their quality of life better.
