Behind Door 1: dialysis. Behind Door 2: kidney transplant-if you can find a compatible donor. Behind Door 3: improved health. Which do you choose? If you are having problems with your kidneys, you're in good company: Kidney disease affects 10 percent of people worldwide, but that percentage increases as we age. Dialysis ties you to a machine for hours every week; a transplant requires surgery, recovery, antirejection drugs, and the gift of someone else's kidney ... not to mention that surgery always carries risk and poor health is expensive.
