Prerequisites for A Kidney Transplant, Who Can Donate & All You Need to Know
A kidney transplant is a life-saving procedure that requires careful consideration and several prerequisites to ensure both the donor and recipient are well-prepared. At Hiranandani Hospital, the kidney transplant process begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s overall health to determine their suitability for the procedure. Common prerequisites include confirming end-stage kidney failure, the patient being in good general health, and having no conditions that might impair recovery, such as severe infections or cancer. Additionally, patients must undergo blood tests, tissue matching, and cross-matching to ensure compatibility with the donor.
As for kidney donation, living and deceased donors can provide kidneys for transplantation. A living donor is usually a close family member or a compatible friend who voluntarily donates a kidney. Living donors must also undergo rigorous health screenings to ensure that donating a kidney will not compromise their own health. At Hiranandani Hospital kidney transplant services, the team ensures that both the donor and recipient are well-informed about the risks, benefits, and long-term expectations of the procedure, making it a comprehensive process aimed at successful outcomes and improved quality of life.
