My option to live is Kidney Transplant




Kidney Transplant Option



With my family support, kidney transplant is my option.

Most people who need a kidney transplant are able to have one, regardless of their age, as long as they are well enough to withstand the effects of surgery. The transplant has a relatively good chance of success
The person is willing to comply with the recommended treatments required after the transplant – such as taking immunosuppressant medication and attending regular follow-up appointments.
Reasons why it may not be safe or effective to perform a transplant include having an ongoing infection (this will need to be treated first), heart disease, liver failure, cancer that has spread to several places in your body (metastatic cancer), and AIDS (the final and most serious stage of an HIV infection).
However, people who have HIV that is being effectively controlled with medication can often have a kidney transplant.
