“Should I choose to continue dialysis or accept kidney transplant?” A CRF
Patient asked me a few days ago. This question may be the concern of tens of
thousands of CRF patients, so today I will give my detailed answer for these
patients.
Dialysis and kidney transplant are both treatments for renal failure
patients. When their kidneys begin to fail and can’t play their normal function,
these people have to consider dialysis or kidney transplant to replace their
failed kidneys. Different treatments have their own advantages and
disadvantages, so CRF patients should choose the available treatment according
to their disease condition.
Dialysis is better than kidney transplant for this group of CRF patients.
The CRF patients should choose dialysis, when their kidneys just begin to
lose their function, and waste and toxins begin to build up in their blood.
Dialysis can replace the kidney to play the role of filtration. In the early
stage of CRF, a few times of dialysis per month are enough for these patients to
maintain their normal life, so their life will not be influenced by dialysis. In
a word, dialysis is better than kidney transplant for early-stage CRF
patients.
Kidney transplant is better for anther group of CRF patients.
Kidney transplant is considered when the patients with severe kidney disease
that called end-stage kidney disease. A new kidney coming from the patients’
relative or unrelated person can help CRF patients get rid of dialysis and give
them a new life. If the patients don’t have heart disease, mental disease,
systemic disorders, etc and they have found a matched kidney, kidney transplant
is a good choice for them. So we can know kidney transplant is more suited for
end-stage CRF patients who don’t have the contraindication of kidney
transplant.
No matter how perfect one thing is, it is still not suitable for everyone,
and then how about our dialysis or kidney transplant? We should choose the
treatment which is more effective for ourself.
