Q. Is kidney transplantation better than dialysis?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
It depends on the patient's specific medical situation.
Some people who are on dialysis may be healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant. However, other people may not be healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant and may be better off staying on dialysis. The final decision about which treatment is best for a particular patient should be made by the patient's doctor after discussing the patient's individual medical situation.
