    Summary

    Kidney replacement therapy, including transplantation and dialysis, offers life-saving treatments. However, donor shortages limit transplantation, making artificial methods crucial for chronic renal failure management.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation immunology
    • Biomedical engineering

    Background:

    • Organ replacement therapy represents a significant advancement in modern medicine.
    • Kidney replacement therapy, particularly transplantation, has yielded superior results compared to other organs.
    • Chronic renal failure necessitates effective treatment strategies, with transplantation being a primary option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the role and effectiveness of kidney replacement therapies.
    • To analyze the limitations of kidney transplantation due to donor scarcity.
    • To highlight the indispensable role of artificial replacement therapies in supporting transplantation and managing renal failure.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on kidney replacement therapies.
    • Analysis of clinical, social, and economic aspects of transplantation and dialysis.
    • Assessment of technological advancements and their impact on patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Kidney transplantation is the most effective therapy but is feasible in only 30% of cases due to donor shortages.
    • Artificial replacement therapies, such as hemodialysis, are predominant and essential, supporting over 95% of transplantations.
    • Despite technological improvements, overall expectations for high-tech organ replacement have not been fully met.

    Conclusions:

    • Kidney replacement therapy is a multidisciplinary field requiring integration of various scientific disciplines.
    • Artificial replacement therapy is vital, ensuring the success of transplantation and providing a lifeline for patients.
    • Future directions should focus on bridging the gap between expectations and outcomes, aiming for treatments that are biologically and physiologically closer to native organs.
