Patients Should Take Dialysis before Kidney Transplant

Many patients with Uremia should perform dialysis for a period before dialysis. However, some patients refuse dialysis for its abnormalities and complications. Therefore, many patients ask if they can skip dialysis before kidney transplant. Read on and find the answer.

For the patients with Uremia, their kidneys fail to function normally resulting in a large amount of uremic toxins to accumulate in body. It not only can lead to renal injury, but also can damage other body organs like weak immunity, digestive system damage, malnutrition, uremic myocardosis, high blood pressure, heart failure and so on. Especially, the patients’ hemopoietic system is impaired, they often have serious anemia thus staying in a weak state. The patients’ poor malnutrition, anemia and weak organ function, they can not endure the operation of kidney transplant. What’s worse, those complications can make the success rate of Kidney Transplant discount greatly. Therefore, the patients with Uremia should perform dialysis for about 2~3 months to remove the accumulated uremic toxins in the body. When their organ function has improved obviously, Kidney Transplant is available for them at that time. For example, the patients’ appetite improves obviously so the nutrients condition improves obviously. The excess fluid is removed out of body so the burden to hearts will decrease.
Moreover, after the toxins are removed, the immunity system will be improved so the body resistance against the external virus and bacteria will increase.
What’s the most important is that the using of erythropoietin and vitamin during dialysis can correct anemia and improve renal bone disease. In this way, it will be able to increase the success rate of Kidney Transplant greatly.

Therefore, the patients with Uremia should take dialysis for a period before Kidney Transplant.

However, in recent years, with the development of medical technology, the patients with Uremia can avoid dialysis and Kidney Transplant if they receive proper treatment in time to protect the residual renal function and repair the damaged kidneys.
