after reading it, will you still wait for kidney transplant
A kidney transplant is surgery to replace your own diseased kidneys with a healthy (donor) kidney. See a picture of a kidney transplant
. There are two types of donors:
The risks of having a kidney transplant include:
· Rejectionof the new kidney.
· Severe infection.
· Bleeding.
· Reaction to the anesthesia used for surgery.
· Failure of the donor kidney
Not everyone is able to have a kidney transplant. You will not usually have a kidney transplant if you have an active infection or another life-threatening disease, such as cancer or significant heart or lung disease.
After having a kidney transplant, you will have to take medicines that suppress your immune system (immunosuppressive medicines) to help prevent your body from rejecting the new kidney. You will need to take these medicines for the rest of your life. Because these medicines weaken your immune system, you will have an increased risk for serious infections. There is also the chance that your body may still reject your new kidney even if you take these medicines. If this happens, you will have to start dialysis and possibly wait for another kidney transplant.
