Kidney transplant and dialysis FAQs
Answers to common questions about kidney transplant, dialysis, and CKD care in Boise.
For advanced kidney disease or ESRD, treatment typically includes dialysis or kidney transplant. Dialysis helps remove waste from the blood, while transplant replaces kidney function. Our team will guide you through the best option for your needs.
Dialysis helps filter waste, remove extra fluid, and balance minerals in your body when your kidneys cannot do so. While it supports your health, it does not cure kidney disease, which is why transplant may also be considered.
Living donor transplants often reduce wait times and may lead to better long-term outcomes. In some cases, they allow patients to avoid dialysis or shorten the time spent receiving it.
If a donor is not a match, paired exchange programs match multiple donor-recipient pairs so each patient can receive a compatible kidney. This significantly expands access to transplant.
Early care is important—even if symptoms are mild or not noticeable. Kidney disease can progress slowly, and early treatment may help delay complications. Call our clinic to schedule an evaluation and learn your options.
