Dialysis Donor Kidneys Shortage Comparing Transplants Readily Requires

Dialysis is more readily available but requires strict dietary monitoring and multiple machine sessions, is more expensive long-term, and can damage the body. Donor kidneys primarily come from those who die suddenly, but there is a shortage due to fewer registered donors and fewer car accidents. In the future, kidneys may be grown from stem cells, potentially without antigens.

Dializę można łatwiej uzyskać, ale wymaga ona ścisłego monitorowania diety, wielu sesji przy maszynie, jest droższa w dłuższej perspektywie i może uszkodzić organizm. Nerki od dawców pochodzą głównie od osób z nagłą śmiercią, ale brakuje ich z powodu mniejszej liczby zarejestrowanych dawców i mniejszej liczby wypadków samochodowych. W przyszłości nerki można będzie hodować z komórek macierzystych, potencjalnie bez antygenów.

Front Comparing dialysis and transplants
Back
  • dialysis more readily available, but requires close monitoring of diet and multiple machine sessions, also long-term dialysis more expensive than transplant and can damage body
  • donor kidneys mainly sourced from people who suddenly die, but shortage of donor kidneys as; shortage of registered donors, better cars so less road deaths and less donors
  • in future, could grow embryonic kidney tissue from stem cells, particularly without antigens to prevent immune response
