Description
Kidney transplant surgery replaces a failing kidney with a healthy donor organ for end-stage renal disease, with costs typically ranging from ¥300,000 to ¥600,000 in China; ChinaMedicalHub assists with hospital coordination and interpreter support.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of kidney transplant surgery is to replace a diseased or failing kidney with a healthy one from a donor. It is used for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who no longer respond to other treatments. The surgery aims to improve quality of life and survival rates. Post-surgery, monitoring the aforementioned indicators helps in assessing the new kidney's function and detecting any signs of rejection or complications early.
Normal Range
For kidney transplant surgery, there isn't a direct 'normal range' as it is a surgical procedure. However, post-surgery, key indicators such as serum creatinine (0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (7 to 20 mg/dL), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (>60 mL/min/1.73 m²) are monitored to assess kidney function.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values in these indicators can be caused by: 1. Overhydration, 2. Reduced muscle mass, 3. Malnutrition, 4. Liver disease, 5. Severe weight loss
High Values - Possible Causes
High values in these indicators can be due to: 1. Acute or chronic kidney rejection, 2. Dehydration, 3. High protein diet, 4. Kidney damage, 5. Certain medications that affect kidney function
