Deceased Donor (Cadaveric) Transplant
A Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant occurs when a kidney from a person who has recently passed away (usually due to brain death) is transplanted into a patient with end-stage renal disease.
This is often the primary option for patients who do not have a compatible living donor. At Medanta – The Medicity, we strictly follow national organ transplant protocols to ensure transparency and medical excellence.
National Registry
Patients seeking deceased donor transplants must be registered with the appropriate government authorities (NOTTO/SOTTO) through a licensed transplant center like Medanta Gurugram.
The Transplant Process
Complete medical checkup to ensure the patient is fit for surgery and lifelong immunosuppression.
Placement on the deceased donor waiting list based on blood group and medical urgency.
Once a compatible kidney becomes available, the patient is called immediately for the transplant surgery.
Important Factors
- Waiting Period: The wait for a deceased donor kidney can vary significantly based on blood group compatibility.
- Organ Quality: Every donor kidney undergoes rigorous testing for infections and function before being accepted.
- Immunosuppression: Post-transplant care requires strict adherence to medications to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ.
