Kidney failure treatment refers to various methods used to manage and support kidney function when the kidneys are no longer able to perform their essential functions effectively. Dialysis, a common form of treatment, artificially filters waste and excess fluids from the blood. Transplantation is another option involving the replacement of diseased or damaged kidneys with healthy donor organs. Other supportive therapies may include medication to control symptoms or maintain health until transplant becomes an option.

Kidney failure treatment in Pakistan includes dialysis and kidney transplant. Dialysis removes waste from the blood, while transplant involves replacing the damaged organ with a healthy one. Both require specialized medical facilities.
Pakistan has over 13,000 dialysis patients with many waiting for kidney transplants. Donors and funds are needed to address this shortage.
