A kidney transplant is often the treatment of choice for kidney failure, compared with a lifetime on dialysis. A successful kidney transplant can improve your quality of life
If you have kidney failure, a kidney transplant can help you feel better and live longer.
The average life expectancy for a patient on dialysis is generally five years. On the other hand, patients who receive a kidney transplant typically live longer:
• Living donor kidney functions: 12 to 20 years.
• Deceased donor kidney: 8 to 12 years.
Some people may also benefit from receiving a kidney transplant before needing to go on dialysis, a procedure known as a preemptive kidney transplant
