What are the two treatments which can be used if the kidneys fail?

If the kidneys fail, the two primary treatments are dialysis and kidney transplantation. Dialysis involves using a machine to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, mimicking kidney function. Kidney transplantation, on the other hand, involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into the patient’s body to restore kidney function. Each option has its own benefits and considerations, depending on the patient's condition and preferences.
