The Kidney Transplant Option
A kidney transplant is one way to replace some of the function of kidneys that don’t work. Survival with a kidney transplant is about three times better, on average, than it is with standard in-center hemodialysis.
Some people think that they can’t have a transplant due to age or some other concern. If you are not sure if you can get a transplant, talk to your doctor and the transplant center staff. Or, look online to learn more about the VA Transplant Services.
