Kidney Transplant: Significance

Through the years, NU Hospitals has been performing both live-related kidney transplants (renal transplants) as well as cadaveric transplants, yielding impeccable results. The team of kidney transplant doctors in Bangalore & NU Hospitals, carrying out surgical procedures is highly skilled with over two decades of experience in the field.
The Preparation
Preparation begins at home, and it is mandatory to keep your medical records organized beforehand. Not only does organization helps speed up the entire procedure, but makes it easier as well. The selection of the kidney donor needs to be thought through, which should follow strict requirements; such as be closely related to you, being medically fit, and have compatible blood types.
A customized diet plan is recommended to be followed by the team of doctors that helps prepare the kidney for the surgical procedure. For avoiding any risks, the patient needs a strong body before receiving a transplant and be at the best condition.
The Kidney Transplant Surgery
The surgery usually lasts for an approximate duration of three hours. Post it, the donor and the patient are separated and shifted into ICUs at the NU Hospital campus to minimize even a slight risk of infection.
Post-Transplant HealthCare
As advised by doctors, post transplant care involves staying in the hospital for a few days after the initial kidney transplant. Proper rest and staying infection-free is one of the requisites of the post surgery.
