A person who loses most or all of the kidney functions due to Renal Failure
may receive kidney transplant. As for the question that how long can he survive
after getting a kidney transplant, it depends on patient's condition to great
extent.
In general, 85% of uremic patients would live for one year after kidney
transplant, 60% last for 5 years, only 1% last for 10 years, which is the usual
cases and is not absolutely. Up to now, some patients conducted the operation
for 20 years remain alive, still others passed away within one month after the
transplantation.
The short-term treatment effect of kidney transplant may be satisfying, but
long-term effect is not quite good. There are more than 40% of patients have
been dead from renal death. So kidney transplant is not the best choice for
patients with End-Stage Renal Disease, or Uremia.
At present, the best method to treat Uremia is the integrated therapy of
Chinese and western medicine, which can repair the damaged renal functional
cells fundamentally and improve the renal function. Therefore, the life
expectancy can be largely prolonged.
