Can uremia get a kidney transplant?

Uremia is still relatively common in today's society and life. The word uremia will inevitably make people feel depressed and have some psychological fear. Uremia tests the life span of people with uremia, and also tests the financial tolerance of the patient's family. Whether it is uremia or in the later stage, the patients suffer from the pain of drugs, and the family is under pressure from medical expenses and treatment costs. So, does uremia require a kidney transplant?

Uremia can be treated with a kidney transplant, so how much does it cost?

It mainly depends on the degree of rejection of the donor kidney by the recipient. After a kidney transplant, the recipient must take anti-rejection drugs for life. As long as no rejection reaction occurs, the recipient's survival time should not be affected by the transplanted kidney.

The best and most effective treatment for uremia is kidney transplantation. Kidney is an indispensable organ of the human body. However, due to the high risk of organ transplantation and the difficulty in finding kidney sources, the cost is also high. The specific cost of kidney transplantation for uremia is an uncertain number. In addition to the operation itself, the post-operative maintenance and other hospitalization costs also depend on the patient's recovery and the size of the body's antibodies. Therefore, there is no specific number for this cost, but some preparation costs before the transplant surgery will probably cost several thousand yuan, including analysis of liver and kidney function, blood cell analysis, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound, chest X-ray, etc., and it will take about twenty days from the beginning of preparation for the operation to the end of the operation. The operation fee, bed fee, treatment cost, and laboratory test fee will probably be around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. It still depends on whether the patient recovers smoothly after the operation. It is best to ensure that there is no more immunosuppression. If there are unexpected situations, there may be more.

Why does uremia have to undergo a kidney transplant? Generally, it is because the patient's kidneys can no longer work and will cause the disease to spread further. The so-called kidney transplant is to implant a healthy kidney into the patient's iliac fossa. With the development of current medicine, it is not necessary to remove the patient's kidneys before the transplant. It is only necessary to implant the healthy kidney intact into the abdominal cavity. The patient's kidney will only be removed if it has directly endangered the health of other organs. Patients with uremia are advised to maintain a healthy mentality after surgery and not to have psychological pressure due to spending too much on treatment costs. Only when they are healthy can they do other things better. There is a saying that anything that can be solved with money is a small matter. It is actually true. I wish you a speedy recovery.
