Renal Transplantation

Patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, or hypertensive nephrosclerosis are potential candidates for kidney transplantation. Before the procedure, a thorough evaluation, including blood tests, imaging, and compatibility testing, is conducted to ensure the best match between the donor and recipient.

The procedure can be performed using open surgery or laparoscopic techniques, with the donor kidney placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the recipient’s blood vessels and bladder. Living donor transplants (from a family member or unrelated compatible donor) and deceased donor transplants (from brain-dead organ donors) are both viable options, with living donor transplants generally offering better long-term success rates.

Post-transplant care is crucial to ensure the body’s acceptance of the new kidney. Patients require lifelong immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection and regular monitoring to assess kidney function. With proper care, a transplanted kidney can function effectively for decades, allowing patients to lead a normal, active life.

Our clinic provides comprehensive renal transplant care, including pre-transplant evaluation, advanced surgical expertise, post-transplant monitoring, and personalized immunosuppressive therapy. We ensure a multidisciplinary approach to improve outcomes and offer continuous support for transplant recipients and donors.
