Renal transplant is offered to patients with advanced stage 5 CKD. It is the best mode of treatment available presently for advanced kidney disease. He/she needs to be on dialysis either hemodilayis or peritoneal dialysis till he gets kidney transplant done. A donor is required for a kidney transplantation. The patient can survive with a single kidney which is transplanted, and he will be off any form of dialysis.

Peritoneal Dialysis is an alternate to hemodialysis which is done by the patient himself or his attenders at home. Special catheter is inserted surgically into the abdomen peritoneal cavity. Special fluids called peritoneal dialysate fluids are inserted in and out of the peritoneal space. Peritoneal Dialysis is simpler when compared to Hemodialysis.

Acute Renal failure(ARF) is also known as Acute Kidney injury (AKI). The main function of the kidney is to remove the waste from the body and balance the fluids. When the kidney fails to perform this function, it is known as Acute Kidney injury. When the kidney fails to filter the waste from the body, the chemical action of the blood gets imbalanced as the toxins get accumulated in the body. Acute Renal failure can develop over a few hours or in few days. The patient must be immediately hospitalized to find out the cause of this kidney failure and early treatment can ensure complete recovery.
