kidney replacement therapy

Kidney replacement therapy is a medical treatment for individuals whose kidneys no longer function properly. It involves two main options: dialysis and kidney transplantation. Dialysis is a procedure that uses a machine to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, mimicking kidney function. Kidney transplantation involves surgically replacing a failing kidney with a healthy one from a donor. Both therapies aim to maintain essential bodily functions, improve quality of life, and manage complications related to kidney failure. Choosing the right option depends on various factors, including the patient's health, preferences, and availability of organs.
