Explain two biological reasons why most doctors think that a kidney transplant is a better method of treatment than dialysis. I understand the advantages such as increased quality of life, dialysis treatment only works for a limited time and dialysis treatment is a long process and must occur frequently but I am not sure what counts as a 'biological' reason. Do you think you can give me two biological reasons?
