The kidneys are important organs that filter waste products from the body and remove them in the urine. When a chronic disease has damaged the kidneys completely, a new kidney may need to be transplanted to sustain life. Lifelong careful management is needed even after transplantation, so please do not rely on this Health Encyclopedia alone; receive proper management through consultation with a transplant specialist.2026-06-26

Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the kidney. There are almost no symptoms in the early stages, so it is difficult to notice on your own, and in most cases it is found incidentally during a health checkup. Even without symptoms, it is important to detect it early through regular health checkups. If an abnormal finding is detected or you have any concerns, please be sure to consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
