Can transplant be considered for someone whose kidneys have not yet failed? The patient cannot take medication for an unrelated illness because his kidneys can not handle strong meds. Is transplant an option?

hi,
transplant is always the last option.
even if the kidneys fail,the serum urea and creatinine levels,if go extremely high,then only transplant is recommended.
dialysis,is a better option.
thanks
So the medicine should be changed , and not to remove the kidney
As long as his kidney profile is doing fine,
Kidney transplantation is a v serious matter and should be reserved … A person can live with a quarter kidney, don’t waste the kidney for a sake of a medication,
Plz tell me the other medication he is taking and the other illness he is having
Waiting ur reply
Can you please clarify the full medical status of the patient?
What medications is the pt receiving ?

Hi
Yes it can but first what is the GFR?
Transplant is not a perfect solution unless it is a last option
Hope you show me your GFR to give you a better answer
