  1. A kidney transplant means you don’t have to go to the hospital regularly for dialysis, so you can have a more flexible lifestyle and even go on holidays. It’s a long-term solution, so you don’t need to control your diet as much, and it keeps the right balance of substances in your blood. It can also be cheaper in the long run.

    However, the transplant might be rejected, so you have to take anti-rejection drugs for life. Finding a suitable donor can be difficult, and there’s a risk from the surgery itself, like infection or problems with anaesthetic. The kidney won’t last forever, so you might need another transplant later.
