Kidney Transplant
A kidney transplant can be another treatment option for kidney failure. With this new kidney, the body can work properly without the need for dialysis. However, you often need to wait for a long time to get a donor kidney that can be compatible with the body. It may be quicker when you have a living donor. After the surgery, you need to take immunosuppressive drugs to ensure the body does not reject this new organ. In some cases, some serious side effects of the medications may happen. Not everyone may get a transplanted kidney, so make sure to consult your doctor to know whether you are a good candidate. [2]
