Is a kidney transplant recommended for a 74 year old person with diabetes?
Yes, we have evaluated, listed, and transplanted patients in the 70s. For transplant evaluation and listing, we go by "functional age" rather than "chronological age". If the patient is otherwise healthy with a good functional status (able to walk a city block), they can be listed and transplanted. I would suggest sending the evaluation request to the transplant center and letting them decide the candidacy. READ MORE
When is a person recommended a kidney transplant?
Any patient with end stage kidney disease (patient with chronic kidney disease who is on dialysis) is eligible to be referred for a kidney transplant. A kidney transplant in general is a better option than dialysis for most patients and offers greater survival and a better quality of life. Patients who are not on dialysis but nearing dialysis (GFR<20) can be referred and listed for a kidney transplant. It is best to get transplanted as soon as possible with the least duration of dialysis because that offers the greatest benefit in terms of survival. READ MORE
