Kidney transplantation means surgically removing a kidney from a living voluntary kidney donor and transplanting this graft kidney into the recipient. This is performed when both the kidney of an individual are not functioning and the patient is now dialysis dependent.

Kidney transplantation allows the patient to be free from hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is a life saving procedure in a patient wherein both the kidneys aren't functioning however the patient has to visit the dialysis centre at least two to three times per week and each time spend about six hours for the procedure. Also dialysis is extremely physically demanding the patient gradually weakens. Transplant therefore provides the ideal alternative to such a patient. After transplant 19 out of 20 patients are permanently free from hemodialysis. They can resume work and normal personal life again and the patients have much better quality of life and energy to work and travel.Therefore we strongly recommend kidney transplant as a the final treatment for kidney function impaired patients, as compared to hemodialysis.

The best donor for a kidney transplant is blood related for example a mother donating to her child. This allows for the best match and results. However the second best alternative is when a spouse donates. Very often a wife donates to her husband or a husband donates to his wife. There has often been a question whether after donation the spouse will also be a kidney patient and will be unable to look after the family. However we encourage such a transplant since both the recipient and the donor are assured of good health and renal function. We do not encourage financial transaction to purchase kidney from financially weaker individuals.

Kidney transplant is a highly regulated surgery since in the past there have been multiple instances of patient and donor exploitation. Therefore with the organ transplant act in force the government very strictly regulates the transplant and donor selection process. Therefore in case of related donors the complete evaluation and government permission may take 3 -6 months of time. However our transplant coordination team generally will be very cooperative so that the procedure may be expedited as much as possible. For our outstation and internation cases too we try to minimise their stay in Kolkata by guiding and expediting the clearance.
