Kidney transplant is a treatment for uremia, commonly known as “kidney transplant” in Chinese. In fact, kidney transplantation is not a very accurate term. Many people mistakenly believe that a kidney transplant is the removal of your original kidney and the replacement of it with a new one, but this is not true. The English word for kidney transplant is Renl
Transplantation, is the transplantation of a new kidney in a uremic patient. The new kidney is placed in the right skeletal fossa or left skeletal fossa instead of being exchanged with the original kidney. Kidney transplantation, along with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, are all treatments for end-stage renal disease. Kidney transplantation has many advantages and disadvantages over the latter two options (see the article on the advantages and disadvantages of kidney transplantation, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis). Therefore, kidney transplantation is the best treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), allowing a good quality of life to return to work, but also entailing relative risks. Who can receive a kidney transplant? Most people with UTI can receive a kidney transplant (see the article Who can get a kidney transplant?) Only a small percentage of people cannot receive a kidney transplant. What is the success rate of kidney transplantation? At present, due to the maturity of surgical techniques, the success rate of kidney transplant surgery is over 95%, only very few people will have serious surgical complications, resulting in kidney transplant failure, and kidney transplant surgical techniques play an important role in the kidney transplant process, the failure of surgery and post-operative complications will also affect the immediate and long-term survival of kidney transplant. What is the long-term survival rate after kidney transplantation? The current 1-year human kidney survival rate is over 95%, the 5-year kidney survival rate is between 75%-85%, and the 10-year kidney survival rate is between 55%-70%. The longest survival time of kidney transplantation in the world is more than 40 years, and the longest survival time of domestic kidney transplant recipients is more than 30 years. Post-transplant maintenance is particularly important, as patients need to take long-term medication after surgery and be followed up regularly (see article on post-transplant staging). Regularity and follow-up is a guarantee of long-term kidney transplant survival, and irregular follow-up in many people can lead to loss of kidney transplant function. Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that they do not need to take medication after kidney transplantation, which is a misconception. It leads to acute rejection and loss of function of the kidney transplant and the need for re-dialysis. Therefore, kidney transplantation is a complete understanding of kidney transplantation by choosing a suitable uremic patient, transplanting a kidney of someone else at the right time, requiring long-term medication after successful kidney transplantation, and insisting on regular follow-up.
