Why do kidney transplants only last 10 years?

Actually, it's not always just 10 years, some can last much longer! The body can sometimes reject the new kidney over time, and also other factors like infections or side effects from anti-rejection meds play a role. Maintaining a very strict diet, like the one I follow for vegetarian health, and being super careful with lifestyle choices are crucial to extend its life.

Well, just like even my favourite biryani won't last forever in the fridge, transplanted organs also have a lifespan! Jokes aside, it's often due to chronic rejection, where the body's immune system slowly damages the new kidney. Other factors like infections and the effects of anti-rejection medicines also play a role. It's a complex process.

Nah, that 10-year thing is an average, bro. My uncle's transplant lasted like 15 years. It's cuz your body tries to fight off the new kidney over time, even with meds, or the meds themselves have side effects. Plus, the wear and tear from life, you know?

Ho na, it's a common concern. See, a kidney transplant doesn't last forever because the body's immune system will always try to recognize the new organ as 'foreign' and slowly, over time, start rejecting it. Medicines help, but can't stop it completely. Plus, there's always a risk of infections or issues with the original disease. But still, it's a huge gift of life, haan na.
