Kidney Transplant in Saudi Arabia

Kidney transplant is still a main replacement therapy in Saudi Arabia. However, not all patients with Kidney Failure can get the transplant opportunity. Therefore, it is urgent for the local patients to change to a new therapy immediately.

In Saudi Arabia, the sources of kidneys can not meet the requirement of the patients at all. That is because not many people are coming forward to enlist as organ donors. Four hundred kidney transplant operations are carried out each year in Saudi Arabia and this number falls short of covering the actual requirement as more than 1,000 transplants are needed each year. The lack of donors has exacerbated the sufferings of thousands of patients with Kidney Disease. Many people may lose their lives during their endless waiting. As the modern medical technique is so advanced, is there alternative therapy other than kidney transplant?

In China, Immunotherapy is applied in treating Kidney Failure and has achieved an enormous effect.

Immunotherapy refers to infusion of healthy cells into the patients’ body through vein. Immunotherapys are group of primitive cells with infinite potentials of differentiation, regeneration and republication. In right condition, the Immunotherapy can regenerate new cells with the same characteristics as the original cells or differentiate into new cells with specified functions and even tissues and organs.

In treating Kidney Failure, after the Immunotherapy are infused into patients’ body, they can differentiate into new renal functional cells. For the homing ability of Immunotherapy, they can immigrate along with blood to the kidney lesions automatically. If there are sufficient nutrients and oxgen for the new cells, they will grow gradually to replace the necrotic cells to function. In this way, the renal function will improve greatly.

However, if there is no blood supply to kidneys, the Immunotherapy will not be able to reach the kidneys. That is why the patients with Kidney Failure are recommended to receive Immunotherapy as early as possible.

Compared with kidney transplant, Immunotherapy does not need surgery, matching problem etc. It improves the survival rate of the patients.


Immunotherapy as a new therapy, it brings infinite new hope for the patients with Kidney Failure around the world.
