Kidney Transplantation

Kidney Transplantation in EM Bypass, Kolkata

Why Is It Done?

Kidney transplantation is indicated in patients with:

  • End-stage renal disease (ESRD)

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

  • Polycystic kidney disease

  • Untreated diabetes or hypertension can cause kidney failure

  • Congenital or autoimmune kidney disease

Renal graft surgery is another term for kidney transplant surgery. It involves placing a healthy kidney (the “graft”) from a donor into a person whose own kidneys have failed.

Most of these patients are likely candidates for Renal Graft Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata, by our seasoned surgical teams.

Before Kidney Transplantation

  • Review of medical history and present condition

  • Blood type and tissue match compatibility tests

  • Imaging tests and donor evaluation

  • Preparation and counselling for surgery

During Kidney Transplantation

  • You will be given anaesthesia to fall asleep, and you won't feel pain during the procedure

  • The surgeon will cut the lower part of your abdomen to place the new kidney

  • A healthy donor kidney will be connected to your blood vessels and bladder

  • The new kidney usually starts working right away or within a few days

  • Your original kidneys are usually left in place unless they are causing an infection

After Kidney Transplantation

Post-surgery, the patient is usually shifted to the recovery room, where their status is closely monitored until they start to recover from anaesthesia. In some cases, recipients are shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for a few hours of observation. The patient usually remains in the hospital for around five to seven days after the procedure.

  • Follow-up Care: Once you leave the hospital, our transplant team will follow up on your recovery very closely.

  • Lab tests will be done every week

  • You will have to visit once a week for the first few months

  • Over time, visits and lab tests will become less frequent

  • Regular Check-ups: Regular visits with a transplant physician during the early months following your Transplant are very important.

  • Stent Removal: About four weeks following your Transplant, the ureteral stent inserted during surgery will be removed. 

  • Driving Restrictions: You will not be allowed to drive for about six weeks after your Transplant.
