 I am Dr. Ganesh Mathras working as a consultant necrologist at Manipal Hospital, Kharadikpune. Today I will discuss briefly about kidney transplant. As we are aware that patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5, they need to continue on immobilization for life long. There will be certain kind of patients who can benefit from kidney transplant. These kind of patients are usually younger and those who want to have better productivity. Advantages of kidney transplant are that you will get rid of dialysis. There will be better control of blood pressure. You will have better endocrine functions. You will have better control of calcium phosphorus and other metabolic bone diseases. All patients are not eligible for transplant. Your nephrologist will evaluate you thoroughly and determine you are eligible for kidney transplant. Kidney transplant will involve a recipient and along with will need donor. There are two types of donation. One thing is live related donation and other is cadaver transplantation. In live related donation as per the Indian transplant of the transplantation human organ act, the rate which are like either parents or siblings or spouse or kids who are about the age of 18 and compatible blood group can donate the kidney. Before transplant process is started, both patients and donor will go through evaluation in the form of blood test and various scans. First they are found to be fit for surgery. The file is sent to the government operation committee for approval to go over kidney transplantation. After transplantation, the successful rate is quite high. Now it is because of the better immunosuppressant medicines. The operation is done by team comprising of nephrologist, urologist, best surgeon and trained anesthetist. At Panipal Hospital Karadhi Pune, we have dedicated team of nephrologist, urologist, best surgeon, anesthetist as well as intensive care unit that can handle all pieces of transplantation very excellently. Thank you very much.
