Kidney transplantation refers to clinical kidney transplantation, that is, transplanting a healthy kidney to a patient with renal failure. Our body has two kidneys. Under normal circumstances, a kidney can also maintain the metabolism of the body. If both kidneys lose their function, then kidney transplantation should be carried out in time. Kidney transplantation includes autologous kidney transplantation, xenotransplantation and allogeneic kidney transplantation.
How long can a kidney transplant patient live?
1, the question of how long you can live after kidney transplantation varies from person to person, because even if you have a kidney, there may be some other induced cancer cells in the kidney that will cause recurrence, and some people will have rejection. If there is no exclusion, you can live for a long time, 5 years, 10 years or even 20 years.
2. However, some people are allergic. After a new kidney is replaced, strong body rejection will cause kidney damage, otherwise white blood cells will kill the new kidney. These people will live shorter lives, and even directly endanger their lives.
3. After kidney transplantation, if there is no particularly serious rejection, do another sterilization operation, and recover after corresponding physical therapy. If there is no problem at all, you can live as long as a normal person and need regular exercise, which can enhance your body's resistance and avoid recurrence.
Second, matters needing attention after renal transplantation
1, stay happy. Happiness and optimism are the best medicine at any time.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene. It is best for renal transplant patients to live alone in the early stage of postoperative rehabilitation, keep the environment ventilated and hygienic, and avoid contact with flowers and plants.
3, adhere to regular inspections Generally speaking, in the first 3 months after kidney transplantation, you should see a doctor once a week; Check once every three to six months after operation; Check once every 1 month from half a year to 1 year; /kloc-check every two months for 0/year and above. Regular physical examination also helps to reduce the chances of complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
4. Fixed follow-up doctors Kidney transplant patients should have a fixed doctor in the routine examination after surgery, and it is best to have surgery, which will help doctors deepen their understanding of the patients, as well as long-term observation and accurate judgment of the condition.
