Kidney Transplant
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure performed to place a new kidney from a donor to a patient (recipient) when both the kidneys fail to work. According to WHO, kidney transplantation is the most frequently carried out transplantation globally. Kidney transplantation is a classic example of allograft in which the kidney is transferred from human to human. Globally, patients diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease which need a renal transplant are estimated between 5 to 7 million in 2019. The global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 13.4% in 2019. There is a steady increase in the number of patients with CKD due to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, obesity, and aging.
Why Kidney Transplant?
In patients with kidney failure, he/she should undergo dialysis until a kidney transplant. Dialysis eliminates the waste products preventing the accumulation of the same. Patients cannot undergo lifetime dialysis because patients cannot live long in dialysis. So, kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for kidney failure. More than 21000 kidney transplants have been done so far in India.
Even kidney failure is not an easy task, we will look at how it is performed in the upcoming sessions. A kidney transplant can extend the life span of chronic kidney disease/ kidney failure. As we all know Kidneys are involved in the excretion process, when kidneys stop working accumulation of water and waste products occur and ultimately lead to death when untreated. The major risk factors for kidney failure are diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure, which are the most uninvited guests worldwide.
Diagnosis of kidney failure, which is not easy because symptoms appear only at the end-stage. Symptoms include itching, Muscle cramps, swelling of ankles and knees, and vomiting. As soon as the diagnosis of CKD, patients are advised to reduce their water intake, revise their current prescriptions, and suggest a good diet and exercises to keep their kidneys healthy. He/she should also have a look at his blood glucose and hypertension profile, which may pave the way to CKD.
