According to current domestic and international data, the survival rate of kidney transplant patients is higher than that of dialysis patients.
Kidney transplantation is a surgical implantation of a kidney from a donor into a recipient to restore kidney function. Successful kidney transplantation can fully restore kidney function and has become the first choice of treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease because of better quality of life, lower maintenance cost and higher survival rate compared with dialysis patients.
With the rapid development of medicine, the survival rate of kidney transplantation and the effect of kidney transplantation have been greatly improved. The survival rate of kidney transplant recipients is more than 95% in 1 year after operation, more than 80% in 5 years, and about 60% in 10 years, which is much higher than that of patients on maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The main causes of death are cardiovascular complications, infections and tumors.
It is recommended that patients with renal insufficiency should consult regular hospitals in time, complete relevant examinations and choose appropriate treatment under the guidance of physicians.
