What is Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that involves placing a kidney from a live or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. This complex yet life-changing procedure is vital for those suffering from end-stage kidney disease.

Functions of the Kidneys: Kidneys remove excess fluid and waste from the blood. When they lose their filtering ability, high levels of fluid and waste accumulate in the body, leading to kidney failure.

When is a Kidney Transplant Necessary?

In end-stage kidney disease, the kidneys can function at only a fraction of their normal capacity. Patients with this stage of kidney failure will either need to have waste removed from their bloodstream through dialysis or have a kidney transplant to stay alive.

Kidney Transplant Procedure

Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys. Compatible persons can donate one of their kidneys safely. Laparoscopy is usually used to remove the donor kidney, offering advantages like less pain, shorter hospital stay, and a more rapid return to normal activities.

The new kidney is placed in the lower abdomen, and its blood vessels are attached to vessels in the lower part of the abdomen. The new kidney's ureter is connected to the urinary bladder. The surgery usually lasts about three to four hours.

Post-Transplant Care

After a successful kidney transplant, the new kidney will filter blood and start producing urine. Medications to suppress the immune system will have to be taken lifelong to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney.

When is a Kidney Transplant Necessary?

Apollo Hospitals in Chennai is renowned for its comprehensive renal transplant program, having performed both autologous and cadaveric transplants. The hospital's commitment to stringent infection control practices, advanced immunosuppressive protocols, and vigilant monitoring for complications has made it a leader in kidney transplant surgery. Here's an overview of the technologies and procedures used at Apollo Chennai for kidney transplantation:

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Renal Donors

  • Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: This minimally invasive surgery is used to remove the donor kidney. It offers significant advantages such as less pain, shorter hospital stay, and a more rapid return to normal activities.

Benefits for Donors: The use of laparoscopic techniques minimizes postoperative recovery time and hospitalization, making the donation process more comfortable for the donor.

10,000+ Kidney Transplants: Apollo Hospitals Group has performed more than 10,000 kidney transplants to date, with nearly 400 kidney transplants conducted each year.

Types of Kidney Transplant Procedures in Apollo Chennai

Cadaveric Renal Transplantation: Utilizing kidneys from deceased donors, this procedure allows for transplantation even when a living donor is not available.

Cadaver-Donor Kidney Transplantation: This involves the transplantation of a kidney from a deceased donor, expanding the pool of available organs.

Living Donor Kidney Transplants: Apollo Chennai performs transplants from both related and unrelated living donors, ensuring a wider availability of organs for those in need.

What Are The Possible Risks Of Kidney Transplants?

Kidney transplantation is a life-saving procedure that has transformed the lives of many individuals with end-stage renal disease. However, like any surgical procedure, kidney transplantation carries certain risks and potential complications. Here’s an overview of the possible risks associated with kidney transplantation, particularly focusing on the practices at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai:

Surgical Risks

  • Infection: Post-transplant, patients are on immunosuppressive medications, which can increase the risk of infections.
  • Bleeding: There may be bleeding during or after the surgery, which might require additional interventions.
  • Blood Clots: Clots can form in the blood vessels around the kidney, leading to complications.

Rejection Risks

  • Acute Rejection: This can occur shortly after the transplant, where the body’s immune system attacks the new kidney.
  • Chronic Rejection: This is a slow and progressive form of rejection that can occur over time.

Medication-Related Risks

  • Side Effects of Immunosuppressive Drugs: These medications are essential to prevent rejection but can have side effects like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Long-Term Risks

  • Cancer: Long-term use of immunosuppressive medications may increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
  • Diabetes: Some anti-rejection medications can increase the risk of diabetes.
  • Bone Disorders: Long-term use of certain medications can lead to bone disorders.

Apollo Chennai’s Approach to Minimizing Risks

  • Stringent Infection Control Practices: Apollo follows strict protocols to minimize the risk of infections.
  • Comprehensive Pre-Transplant Evaluation: A thorough assessment is done to understand the patient’s overall health and suitability for transplantation.
  • Personalized Immunosuppressive Protocols: Tailored medication plans are designed to minimize side effects and manage rejection risks.
  • Proactive Vigil for Complications: Prompt detection and management of any complications are integral to Apollo’s approach, ensuring the success of the transplant.

First Organ Transplant Registry in India: Apollo Chennai has the distinction of having the first organ transplant registry in the country.

Cost of Kidney Transplant in Apollo Chennai

Needle Biopsy for Kidney costs about 500 USD and the patient may need to stay in the hospital for 3 days. Kidney Biopsy costs about 1500 USD – 2000 USD and reports will be ready in 2-3 days at Apollo Chennai.

অসাধারণ সার্ভিস এই ইনফরমেশন সেন্টারের,বিশেষত তাদের ব্যাবহার অনেক সুন্দর। যারা অসুস্থ থাকেন তারা সর্বদা দুশ্চিন্তায় থাকেন। সে সময় যদি কেউ হাসি মুখে পাশে থাকেন তার থেকে আনন্দের বোধকরি কিছু হয় না। apollo information centre তেমনই একটি প্রতিষ্ঠান। তাছাড়া অনলাইনে ডাক্তরদের সাথে রোগী দেখানোর সময় তারা যে ভাবে সাহায্য করেন, নিজেরা প্যানেলে থেকে ভাষাগত ভাবে হেল্প করেন, বাস্তবিক সেটা প্রশংসার দাবিদার। বিশেষত ইসরাত জাহান আপু টেলিমেডিসিন পরিসেবা গ্রহণের সময় যে ভাবে হেল্প করেন,রোগীর প্রতিটি কথা ইংরেজিতে অনুবাদ করে ডাক্তারকে বলেন,আবার ডাক্তার সাহেবের কথা বাংলায় বুঝিয়ে দেন।সেটা এক কথায় অসাধারণ।তারপর, দ্রুত রোগীদের কাছে প্রেসকিপশন পাঠানোর ব্যাবস্থা করেন।এগুলা সম্পূর্ণ আন্তরিকতার পরিচয় বহন করে। আমি এই প্রতিষ্ঠানের সমৃদ্ধি কামনা করি।
