The kidney is an important organ in the human body that regulates blood pressure and its main function is to expel/excrete wastes from the body through urine. Since this function is imperative for the body to function, should the kidneys malfunction, harmful levels of waste accumulate in the body? This is likely to increase the body’s blood pressure and inevitably lead to renal failure. A kidney transplant is often the treatment of choice for kidney failure, compared with a lifetime on dialysis. A kidney transplant can treat chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease to help you feel better and live longer.
