When kidneys lose their ability to filter waste, harmful toxins and excess fluids accumulate in the body, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, and swelling in the feet and ankles. This occurs when Kidney function drops to just 10% & is known as End Stage Kidney Disease. At The Kidney Centre we offer comprehensive care for kidney failure, helping you regain your quality of life.
Some of the most common causes of End-Stage Renal Disease include:
- Chronic Glomerulonephritis (Inflammation Of Glomerulus, which is the filtering unit of the kidney)
- Chronic Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Obstructive Nephropathy
Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease need either dialysis or a kidney transplant to replace lost kidney function.
A kidney transplant is the preferred treatment for kidney failure. Compared to life-time dialysis, kidney transplant offer these benefits:
- Lower mortality rate
- Less Expensive
- Improved Quality of Life
- Improved Mental health
- Better physical health
- Better Nutritional Status
Transplantation of Kidney
Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living donor is placed in the abdomen of a recipient whose kidneys are no longer functioning. One donated kidney is sufficient to replace both failed kidneys.
