Do you have to have a kidney transplant in the late stage of uremia?

Not all patients with advanced uremia necessarily need kidney transplantation. For most patients with advanced uremia, kidney transplantation is the best treatment that can give patients a near normal quality of life. However, it is difficult for the general public to afford it because, firstly, it is more difficult to get a kidney source, and secondly, the cost is higher. Also certain patients, such as those who have a relatively short life expectancy and are not suitable for kidney transplantation, or those who have a weaker constitution and can hardly tolerate the surgery, or those who cannot tolerate immunosuppressive anti-rejection therapy, are also not suitable for kidney transplantation. Most uremic patients can have a life expectancy of more than 10 years or even 30-40 years through regular and adequate hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, even if they do not go into kidney transplantation, they can still obtain a longer survival time.
