Health Query

Hi Doctor, I am 24 years old dialysis patient having creatinine of 7.5 I am planning for kidney transplant in next few months. What will be the life span of transplanted kidney. If the transplanted kidney damages after 5-10 years. Is it possible to do transplantation or back to dialysis again after some time. What are the risks involved in it? Please help me out!

1 Doctor Answered
Transplanted kidneys can work for 10 to 15 years or even more if good care is taken. A repeat transplant with interim dialysis is possible before going for a retransplant. There are many factors on which the life of kidney depends and your nephrology team will be the best source for this information.
