Would kidney transplants still be necessary if dialysis machines were to become cheap tiny and portable?
Yes!! kidney transplants would still be necessary as some patients bodies reject dialysis treatment and they resort to kidney transplant. Therefore even if dialysis machines are cheap, transplants are still required.
Why do people who have lost their kidney function due to disease or an accident apply to receive a transplant?
Because kidney dialysis, although effective, is not a long term solution due to the huge amount of time it requires. Dialysis is just not convenient - for a patient with very little kidney function, dialysis it takes up a vast amount of time each week, is not possible to do on holidays, and women cannot have children whist on dialysis. Whereas a kidney transplant is far more portable than a dialysis machine, does allow the possibility of children, and does not require a vast amount of maintenance per week. Although it does require daily medication and periodic check-ups, for most people it is still the "easier" long-term solution, compared to dialysis.

What are side affect for streptomycin?
Streptomycin is a useful 'last resort' antibiotic. It is very strong and is usually given as part of a combination of drugs for treating Tuberculosis and other rare conditions such a brucellosis. It can be life saving, but it has to be used very carefully because the big worry with it is that it can cause impairment of hearing or deafness. Because of that, ideally a patient should have a hearing test before starting Streptomycin treatment, and at weekly intervals until it is safe to stop the treatment.It is difficult because you might expect a patient to recover very well and live a good, long life after treatment, and streptomycin might be the only drug that is doing any good. But if the patient starts showing signs of hearing impairment, how long should you continue with the treatment? If I knew the answer to that, I'd tell you. Its a difficult issue.
