Is Kidney Transplant the Best Treatment for Patients with Uremia?

When patients are diagnosed with Uremia, they usually choose dialysis or kidney transplant as their treatment. But should they take the treatment of kidney transplant? The renal function is usually lost when patients develop Uremia and at this time, there are many substitutive therapies, all of which have advantages and disadvantages. Kidney transplant is just one kind of treatment. A successful kidney transplant can help patients to get rid of dialysis. Besides, there is not so much restriction before they take a diet which improves the quality of patients' life. However, a successful kidney transplant depends on several aspects as follows:

Patients' physical condition is the precondition of kidney transplant. In order to guarantee a successful kidney transplant and a long term steady function of the translated kidney, patients should make sure that the protopathy such as nephritis is well under controlled and the renal function is completely lost before they take kidney transplant. Besides, another precondition is that their body should be in a good condition.

A successful operation of kidney transplant is the essential condition, which needs some important guarantees such as properly matched kidney, no systemic disease of acceptor, prompt action during operation and excellent medical skills.
In addition, rejection may be a problem at any time for people who take kidney transplant. Although the effects of anti-rejection medicine has been improving, it can not treat chronic rejection, which once occurring, and it will gradually lead to lose renal function and they will have to take dialysis again. Further more, a long time application of anti-rejection medicine can decline the body's immune capacity, which can lead to toxicity to liver and kidney, hyperglycemia, osteoporosis. Besides, infection is the main factor causing rejection or death. While their incidence of cancer may be several times as much as the healthy people's.

For patients with virus hepatitis such as hepatitis Band hepatitis C, they had better not take kidney transplant because a long term application of anti-rejection after the operation can inhibit the immune system, easily cause the hepatitis to progress and lose the liver function. Although kidney transplant helps patients to get rid of dialysis, it can not treat the previous potential disease such as Diabetes, arteriosclerosis, which may lead the disease to turn worse.


Uremia is not an incurable disease, which can be well controlled from further development so long as it is properly treated. Clinical researches proves that providing the renal function's not completely lost, it is possible to treat it.
