Potential Life Barriers faced to patients after Kidney Transplant (Transplantation)

What is a kidney transplant?Kidney transplantation, commonly known as "transplant" a lot of people, literally, that the kidney transplant necrosis of the kidney excised, re-transplant a healthy kidney is a new kidney and old kidney exchange surgery. In fact, this is a wrong understanding of kidney transplantation.So, what is kidney transplantation? Kidney transplant a healthy kidney implanted in the iliac fossa of the patient's right lower quadrant, with the new kidney to replace the original kidneys work, the original patient necrosis of the kidneys continue to exist in the patient's body. The new kidney transplant select the internal iliac artery anastomosis, vascular anastomosis, until the new kidney blood supply in good condition, then sutured patients with abdominal wall to complete the surgery.What factors will affect kidney transplantation?Although kidney transplant is an effective treatment of renal failure, uremia patients, kidney transplantation is not everyone can do. Kidney transplant in the actual implementation constraints influence by many other conditions.First, the economic conditions. Under normal circumstances, to do a kidney transplant, surgery, care, inspection fees, bed charges fees, takes about 7 - 100 000. Thereafter, the kidney transplant every year need to use at least 2 - 30 000 more than the anti-rejection drugs to maintain.Second, the kidney source. Each year tens of millions of renal failure patient's condition to enter late and need a kidney transplant, but can provide the number of kidneys are extremely limited. Numerous uremic patients only death in the days of waiting for a kidney.With type. Kidney transplants between parents and children the most affordable. But the vast majority of kidney transplant patients need to use someone else's kidney to sustain life. However, the own circumstances and kidney matching success rate is very low, it has also become a kidney transplant to be one of the major influencing factors.Fourth, the survival rate after surgery. Kidney transplant is an effective treatment in patients with advanced uremia means, but survival after kidney transplant is directly related to the transplant patient's living conditions. Under normal circumstances, the year after kidney transplant survival rate is nearly 90 percent a year for 70% -90% in the next few years, each year about 5% -8% of patients with renal transplantation or renal graft death.Level of medical treatment of kidney transplant surgery. Even if the above conditions are met, but the kidney transplant is not anywhere arbitrary. At present, many regions in China and hospitals, due to the limited level of medical conditions and medical personnel are not able to carry out the conditions of the kidney transplant.Analysis of the pros and cons of renal transplantationBy a kidney transplant, uremic patients can significantly improve survival of the state to extend late life. This is the biggest advantage of renal transplantation for end stage renal disease patients. However, after a kidney transplant, the patient did not sit back and relax. After renal transplantation, uremic patients need to withstand a wide range of negative effects:Rejection after renal transplantation is difficult to avoid, patients need to take lifelong anti-rejection drugs. Long-term use of these drugs, will largely reduce the patient's immune function, causing liver and kidney toxicity, high blood sugar, osteoporosis and other complications.Complications after renal transplantation is inevitable. After renal transplantation, uremic patients are often prone to infections, heart failure, abnormal liver function, endocrine and metabolic disorders, cancer and other complications. More serious is that part of the kidney transplant patients may also have kidney disease relapse, resulting in kidney transplant lost its meaning.Long-term survival after renal transplantation. Kidney transplant, short-term effect has been very satisfactory, more than 90 percent of the one-year survival rate of uremic patients. But the results are not satisfactory in the long run, after renal transplantation, 5-year survival rate is greatly reduced.
