Department of Kidney Transplant

About

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into a person whose kidneys are no longer functioning correctly, typically due to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. This procedure is considered when other treatments, such as dialysis, are no longer sufficient to maintain the patient's health & quality of life.

Reasons for Kidney Transplantation

Kidneys perform vital functions such as filtering waste, regulating fluids, and balancing electrolytes. When they fail to perform these tasks due to disease, a transplant becomes a necessary option. Common conditions leading to kidney failure include:

  • Diabetes (diabetic nephropathy).

  • High blood pressure (hypertensive nephropathy).

  • Chronic glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney's filtering units).

  • Polycystic kidney disease (an inherited condition).

+ Key procedures (IPD)

  • Kidney Transplantation: Involves replacing a diseased kidney with a healthy one from a donor. The surgery can be done using either a living donor or a deceased donor kidney.
  • Pre-transplant Evaluation: Assessing the recipient’s overall health to ensure they are fit for surgery and post-transplant care.
  • Post-transplant Monitoring: Monitoring for signs of rejection and complications, ensuring the patient’s body accepts the new organ.

+ Key Equipment & Infrastructure

  • Dialysis Machines: Used for pre-transplant patients and post-surgical care.
  • Ultrasound Machines: Essential for monitoring kidney health and post-transplant complications.
  • Surgical Tools: Advanced instruments for performing minimally invasive transplant surgeries.

When Will You Need Surgery For Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard deposits that are found in your kidneys. They are made out of calcium or uric acid. Kidney stones start out small, but they grow bigger when more and more minerals and waste products like uric acid are added to them. The size of the kidney stone defines the amount of problems it can cause.

Life Before And After Dialysis Begins

The human kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are located in the belly region, right under the rib cage and diaphragm. Located one on each side of the spine, the kidneys' primary function is to remove the waste and extra fluid that the body accumulates during the day to day functioning. Apart from this, the kidneys also maintain healthy blood pressure, keep the bones strong, maintain proper mineral levels, and produce the hormone that promotes the formation of red blood cells. But what happens when the Kidney loses its ability to function due to an illness or injury?
