Kidney transplant is the final way for End-Stage Renal Failure patients. At
the beginning, renal failure patients may think that after kidney transplant,
they may enjoy their new and healthy life, but soon they may be told the words
such as “survival rate”, “rejection” which implies that kidney transplant can
not solve all the problems. The survival rate of transplanted kidney depends on
various factors, if transplanted kidney fails again or patients’ creatinine,
urea nitrogen rises again, it means Chronic Allograft Nephropathy occurs.
Generally speaking, Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (CAN) is the main cause of
renal allograft failure after kidney transplantation. It may be caused by
immunologic factors as well as non immunologic factors, thus have a bad effect
on long-term survival rate of renal allograft. The main clinical manifestation
of CAN is Renal progressive recession accompanies with high blood pressure and
proteinuria.
Creatinine level rises can be caused by chronic rejection, renal toxicity of
long-term taking Immunosuppressant or relapse of original kidney disease. All of
those can lead to renal damage. So that’s why doctor asks you to do the biopsy
again. It is necessary to have a biopsy to know what the reason of high
creatinine is.
And on the other hand, patients may started to suffer with anemia, it is
strongly recommend patients taking care of this situation, because anemia will
greatly affect the long-term survival of renal allograft.
Chronic Allograft Nephropathy is commonly seen for post-kidney transplanted
patients. Our hospital is the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in
china; we own our special therapy to treat post-kidney transplant patients, And
our treatment base on Traditional Chinese Medicines, focus on adjusting
patients’ internal environment and repairing damage renal cells, it has been
proven to been effective. And we hope every patient could realize the importance
of health Chronic Allograft Nephropathy, and take action before it too late.
