Treatments For Anuria

Kidney Transplant

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to treat the underlying cause of anuria. In this case, the only long term solution may be a kidney transplant. A kidney donor is normally easier to find than other types of organ donors because individuals do not need both of their kidneys. Thus, patients may be able to find someone who is willing to give them one of their kidneys, though they may also have to wait for one from a deceased donor to become available. Once a matching kidney is found, patients will have a surgical procedure where the new kidney is placed in their body and connected to their blood vessels and bladder. Following the kidney transplant, patients will need to remain in the hospital for several days. It may take up to a week for the new kidney to begin producing urine again. Once the patient has recovered, they will need to continue to take anti-rejection medications for the rest of their life to keep their body from rejecting the donor kidney.
