End Stage Kidney Failure
Dialysis and kidney transplantation are treatments for End Stage Kidney Failure. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. As the kidneys lose their ability to function, fluid, waste products, and electrolytes begin to build up in the blood. Dialysis is generally planned when their kidney function is <15 percent of normal.
KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Kidney transplantation is considered the treatment of choice. Quality of life and survival are often better than in people who are treated with dialysis.
Some people with HIV infection may be eligible for kidney transplantation if their disease is well controlled.
Advantages — A successful kidney transplant can improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of dying.
