 Hi, Myself Kamaluddin. I am 41 year old. I am suffering from CKD since 2015. My diagnosis started in 2018. My name is Nizamuddin. I am Kamaluddin's brother. My brother had been the kidney patient for about 7 years now. His dialysis journey started 5 years back. It started with one day a week. Then it regretlessly went to 2 days, then into 3 days. And dialysis is not the quality of life also. It's not that great. The good decision that happened was, you know, when we were recommended about transplant. In 2021 my brother met Dr. Pallavi. He had encouraged transplant. Hi, this is Dr. Pallavi Padthri, kidney specialist and transplant physician at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur. Today you've met with Mr. Kamaluddin, who is a patient of mine. He's a 41 year old man who just recently underwent a catavari kidney transplant. His kidney history is very similar to a lot of patients that I meet. He was diagnosed with a kidney problem 7 years ago. Rarely had very many symptoms up until that point. Had a history of high blood pressure but then suddenly presented one day with fevers and leg swelling and was found to have a very high creatinine level in the 4 range, a normal level being around 1. And was found at that point to already had significant damage to the kidney. Hi, I'm Dr. Manohar Badrapa, urology and kidney transplant surgeon working at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road. Mr. Kamaluddin, who came to a hospital with the dialysis and he was a ECCKD patient with the dialysis on. And he got registered at our institute hoping for the best. And as soon as the registry was done within a one month, he got the kidney transplant done at our institute. Because the outcomes are so different for patients who remain on dialysis versus those who are transplanted, we always recommend patients to undergo a transplant if they are healthy enough to do so. We always look for living donors within the family. And even whether there are blood group match or not, as long as a donor does not have diabetes and other significant medical problems, they are eligible to donate. And if patients don't have eligible donors in the family, then they should always be considered for a cataviric kidney transplant. Patients after a cataviric transplant do very well. There are situations in which the cataviric transplant may not work immediately. The patients may have what is called delayed graft function where they may need to continue dialysis for a couple of days or a few weeks before the kidney starts working. But the vast majority of cataviric kidneys do very well and they work right away. And they live on average up to 12 years. Some kidneys live much longer, some kidneys are lost earlier. But either way, transplant, whether it's a living donation or a deceased donation, transplanted patients live much healthier lives, much longer lives, than if they remain on dialysis. And the patient is now pale and healthy and is God-backed to his routine thing and is doing well in his life. I think so organ donation is the best donation one can do for the society. So I think so that everyone should pledge their organs so that one or the other person will be benefited by your pledge. Thank you. We got the red-hiver transplant done at Manipal Hospital at Sarjapur. Dr. Pallavi and Dr. Manohar were together. I think they were not just during the surgery but throughout, beyond the surgery and post-surgery follow-ups. And they reassured us that things are all in the right track. I am very thankful to Dr. Manohar, Dr. Pallavi and transplant coordinator Mr. Dev and all other nursing staffs. I thank Manipal Hospital at Sarjapur.
