Treatment options

There are different types of kidney diseases and that some require dialysis or transplantation. Some kidney diseases are fully treatable and encourages viewers to consult with a nephrologist to discuss their reports and treatment options.

Dialysis or transplantation is recommended when kidney function drops below 10%. Dialysis or transplantation is not a death sentence and can improve quality of life and survival rates. There are some limitations and regulations regarding transplantation, which can be discussed with a doctor. Aster Whitefield Hospital offers comprehensive treatment for kidney diseases.
