Save a life with our Kidney Care
Dialysis or Transplant? Kidney care to save a life
According to the Department of Health (DOH), 1 Filipino dies every hour to kidney failure. With over 7,000 cases recorded every year, kidney failure is the 9th leading cause of death in the Philippines, and statistics have shown a 10-12% increase yearly. Unlike most diseases, kidney failure may not produce any symptoms, and when left unrecognized or untreated, may result in life threatening circumstances or further complicate existing illnesses.
Kidney Donors: How To Save A Life
It’s rare for life to provide us opportunities to change lives, but The Medical City Clark offers different types of programs for one to do exactly just that: save a life. The deceased donor transplant is when someone who has recently passed donates his kidneys with the consent of the family or a donor card; while the living donor kidney transplant is the removal of one of two well functioning kidneys for a loved one. The facility also offers pre-emptive kidney transplant, where the procedure is done before the kidneys deteriotate to the point of dependence on dialysis.
There is nothing more rewarding than being able to extend a loved one’s life, and with The Medical City Clark’s Center for Kidney Health and Transplantation, patient partners are able to ensure that proper measures and recommendation are done – whether it be maintenance or operation, a dedicated team of experts will always be there to guide you and your family hand in hand throughout the process.
