What Is the Life Expectancy of Kidney Transplant

People with renal failure or ESRD have a great hope to take kidney transplant for they are all disappointed about their impaired kidneys. Can kidney transplant give them desired life expectancy?

Most patients are eager to know what the life expectancy of a kidney transplant is. It is reported that some people have a very long life expectancy after kidney transplant. For example, in bill Thompson (an American), the transplanted kidney has been lived for 40 years. However, not everyone is so lucky like him. A study shows that 1 year kidney transplant survival rate is 92%, 3 years survival rate is 81.6%, 5 years survival rate is 70% but 10 years survival rate is only about 1%.

On one hand, people have to survive with the help of anti-rejection after the kidney transplant. Accordingly their immunity will be reduced due to the use of anti-rejection. Infection becomes the big enemy to their kidney. Frequent cold, flu, respiratory tract infection, intestinal infection etc all can arouse the infection in kidneys, resulting in kidney dysfunction, proteinuria, anima and nephrarctia etc.
Patients may have no confidence for kidney disease treatment after reading the content above. Fortunately, Immunotherapy can help people to prolong patients’ life expectancy.

Immunotherapy for kidney disease treatment instead of kidney transplant
First, Immunotherapy can rebuild a new immune system and press down the active immune reaction. It is known that most kidney disease is caused by active immune reaction. So Immunotherapy can block the resources of further kidney tissues damage.

Second, Immunotherapy can build “a new kidney” for patients. For many kidney tissues are hardened or dead, their kidneys cannot function well. Immunotherapys can attract the phagocyte to swallow hardened or dead cells in order to make room for their growth. Then Immunotherapy can differentiate into various cells for kidney need on the base of rest healthy kidney cells.

Third, Immunotherapy has ability to rebuild new microcirculation. Immunotherapys reproduce many cells to make tiny blood vessels in kidneys, which can supply more blood and oxygen to kidney cells. Thereby, it can avoid renal inflammation in kidneys.

Other functions of Immunotherapy are regulating the immunity to prevent infections in other parts of the body and provide more Immunotherapy for renal papillae in order to repair kidney tissues etc.
