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.
