Detailed explanation-1: -Healthy kidneys clean your blood and remove extra fluid in the form of urine. They also make substances that keep your body healthy. Dialysis replaces some of these functions when your kidneys no longer work. There are two different types of dialysis-hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you have kidney failure, you need dialysis or a transplant to stay alive. However, some people choose neither of these treatment options, but opt for supportive or palliative care instead.
Detailed explanation-3: -It varies, because everybody is different. Each person’s medical status is unique. People with kidney failure may survive days to weeks without dialysis, depending on the amount of kidney function they have, how severe their symptoms are, and their overall medical condition. Is death from kidney failure painful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Kidney transplantation can treat advanced kidney disease and kidney failure, but the surgery isn’t a cure. Some forms of kidney disease may return after a transplant. The health risks associated with a kidney transplant include those associated directly with the surgery and rejection of the donor organ.
