Faqs
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for people with kidney failure. This allows patients to stop dialysis, decrease their fluid and diet restrictions, and enjoy a much better quality of life.
Usually, a perfect match is from a brother or sister, but sometimes it is from the national registry. The chance of getting a perfect match from a living-related brother or sister is much higher than from the national registry.
Antibodies are proteins your immune system makes when it comes into contact with something foreign to your body. When you get an infection, such as a cold or an infection from a wound, your body makes antibodies to fight that infection. Antibodies protect your body. When you have an organ transplant, your body reacts as it would to an infection. Thus, your antibodies try to destroy the organ. Some people have a lot of antibodies, and it is harder to find an organ match.
Kidney donors are only given post-surgery medications to help with the recovery process. There is no such evidence that one will face regular health issues only due to kidney donation. At CIMS Hospital,Ahmedabad; we accept donors only after a thorough medical assessment and we also provide regular follow-ups after the surgery.
Kidney transplant is advised only when the patients have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 5 or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). In such conditions, both their kidneys stop functioning due to irreversible damage. The treatment options for such situations include lifetime dialysis or kidney transplantation.
A kidney transplant is recommended when kidney function falls below 50%. It has been seen that patients who get kidneys transplanted before Dialysis (called Pre-emptive Transplantation), do better than dialysis patients.
Well, there is a certain recovery period, which depends on the individual’s health. But, post-recovery, the donor can walk independently while getting discharged from the hospital.
Surveys show that people who get kidney transplants usually live longer than dialysis patients. Transplant helps them avoid the side effects of dialysis and leads to a better quality of life. They also have fewer dietary and lifestyle restrictions while dialysis patients have to maintain a comprehensive list of Dos and Don’ts. Moreover, the cost of kidney transplantation is much less compared to the cost of a life-long dialysis process.
Once the recovery phase is over, female donors can start planning for pregnancy. Donating a kidney does not affect the conceiving and childbirth process.
Well, there are no special restrictions that you will have to follow for your whole life. However, as the best kidney transplant hospital in Faridabad, we always recommend a healthy, balanced diet to everyone for living a better life.
Yes, you can. This procedure is called ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplantation. The receiver/patient will need to go through an extra procedure called Plasmapheresis or Immunoadsorption. This is performed to clean the antibodies from their blood. Experts at Sarvodaya Hospital are well-versed to handle such cases.
We recommend a recovery period of 4-6 weeks after the surgery and then you can resume your normal sports and exercise activities.
We accept donors over the age of 18 and there are no age restrictions if you are in good health condition to satisfy the medical requirements.
This is not true. If you lead a healthy lifestyle, then there is no such possibility to get kidney diseases due to donating one.
Ofcourse! Diabetesis one of the most common reasons behind kidney failure. Hence, diabetes can never be a contraindication to getting a kidney transplant.
