Kidney Transplant

Kidney Transplant Procedure at Shalby Hospital SG

1. Evaluation and Assessment:
   The first step in the kidney transplant process is a comprehensive evaluation to assess your eligibility for the transplant. Our team will review your medical history, perform physical examinations, and conduct various tests to determine your overall health and suitability for the procedure. This assessment may include:
   • Blood tests
   • Imaging tests (X-ray, USG, CT scan)
   • Tissue typing to match you with a compatible donor
   • Psychological evaluation to ensure you are mentally and emotionally prepared for the transplant
2. Finding a Donor:
   There are two types of kidney transplant donors:
   • Living Donor: A family member or friend who is willing to donate one of their healthy kidneys.
   • Deceased Donor: A person who is deceased/ brain dead and has consented to organ donation.

   Our team will assist you in the search for a compatible donor, ensuring that the donor’s kidney is a good match for your body to minimize the risk of rejection.

3. Surgery:
   Once a suitable donor is found, kidney transplant surgery is scheduled. The procedure, performed under general anesthesia, involves expert transplant surgeons—some of the best kidney transplant surgeons in India. The surgery takes several hours, and the new kidney is placed inside the patient’s body, offering a fresh start.
4. Post-Transplant Care:
   After the surgery, you will be carefully observed in the intensive care unit (ICU) for many days. You will be transferred to a regular ward after your health stabilizes, where you will still have treatment and monitoring.
   • You will be prescribed immunosuppressant medications to prevent your body from rejecting the new kidney.
   • Our staff will provide thorough post-transplant care instruction, including follow-up checkups, lifestyle changes, and medication management.
   • Blood testing and regular visits can help you to keep an eye on your health and kidney performance.
