Kidney, it's better to be close to yours

Due to the blood relationship between relatives, the tissue matching between the donor kidney and the recipient is often better, so the risk of rejection is lower; Since the living donor kidney is used, the cold and warm ischemia time of the transplanted kidney is shorter, the ischemia-reperfusion injury is mild, and the overall quality of the kidney is better.

They also regulate blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production. However, kidney failure can cause a series of serious symptoms and even be life-threatening. At this time, kidney transplantation becomes an effective treatment option for patients.
