Kidney Transplant in Belagavi | CentraCare Hospital

Understanding Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant replaces a failed kidney with a healthy one from a donor. It is recommended for patients with end-stage kidney disease, where dialysis is no longer enough. A successful transplant can restore normal kidney function, energy levels, and overall quality of life.

Types of Kidney Transplants

1. Living Donor Transplant: A compatible family member donates a kidney.

2. Deceased Donor Transplant: The kidney comes from a registered organ donor after death.

3. Paired Exchange: Two donor-recipient pairs exchange kidneys to ensure compatibility.
   

Who Can Undergo a Transplant

Transplant candidacy is decided after detailed evaluation — including blood tests, tissue typing, cardiac and infection screening. Patients must have adequate heart function, controlled blood pressure, and no active infections.

Post-Transplant Care

After surgery, patients need lifelong follow-up and immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection. Regular monitoring of kidney function and infection control are essential for long-term success.
