Treatment Options for Kidney Failure

If your kidneys stop working, you will need treatment to help manage kidney failure. Renal replacement therapy constitute treatment modalities that clean waste and fluid from your blood and help you live longer and better. This fact sheet will explain the basics of kidney transplant.

What is a kidney transplant?

A kidney transplant is when a healthy kidney from another person is put into your body. The kidney can come from a living donor. The new kidney will do the work that your old kidneys used to do.
