What is a Kidney Transplant?
The kidney is one of the most vital organs, responsible for filtering waste from your blood and maintaining electrolyte balance.
A kidney transplant (renal transplant) is a life-saving surgery to insert a healthy kidney into a patient with kidney failure. Under the expertise of Dr. Debabrata Mukherjee at Medanta, we manage complex transplant cases with high success rates.
Types of Kidney Transplant
- Deceased-donor kidney transplant: Kidney from a brain-dead cadaveric donor.
- Living-donor kidney transplant: Includes ABO Compatible and advanced ABO Incompatible transplants.
Note: Patients waiting for a donor can be effectively managed with high-flux hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Who is Eligible?
- No serious heart, liver, or uncontrolled mental illness.
- Non-smokers; no alcohol or illicit drug use.
- Not of advanced age (case-by-case evaluation).
- Healthy donor (blood relative or brain-dead donor).
Post-Transplant Care
Lifelong immunosuppressant medication and regular checkups are essential to prevent organ rejection. Dr. Mukherjee personally monitors post-op protocols at Medanta.
