Know More About Procedure & Surgery
What is Kidney Transplant?
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and remove waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine.
When your kidneys lose this filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your body, which can raise your blood pressure and result in kidney failure (end-stage kidney disease). End-stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys have lost about 90% of their ability to function normally.
Causes of end-stage kidney disease include:
Diabetes
Chronic, uncontrolled high blood pressure
Chronic glomerulonephritis — an inflammation and eventual scarring of the tiny filters within your kidneys (glomeruli)
Polycystic kidney disease
People with end-stage renal disease need to have waste removed from their bloodstream via a machine (dialysis) or a kidney transplant to stay alive.
Why it is done?
A kidney transplant can treat chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease to help you feel better and live longer.
Compared with dialysis, kidney transplant is associated with:
Better quality of life
Lower risk of death
Fewer dietary restrictions
Lower treatment cost
Some people may also benefit from receiving a kidney transplant before needing to go on dialysis, a procedure known as preemptive kidney transplant.
But for certain people with kidney failure, a kidney transplant may be more risky than dialysis. Conditions that may prevent you from being eligible for a kidney transplant include:
Advanced age
Severe heart disease
Active or recently treated cancer
Dementia or poorly controlled mental illness
Alcohol or drug abuse
Any other factor that could affect the ability to safely undergo the procedure and take the medications needed after a transplant to prevent organ rejection
Blood clots and bleeding
Leaking from or blockage of the tube (ureter) that links the kidney to the bladder
Infection
Failure or rejection of the donated kidney
An infection or cancer that can be transmitted with the donated kidney
Death, heart attack and stroke
Complications of the procedure
Anti-rejection medication side effects
After a kidney transplant, you'll take medications to help prevent your body from rejecting the donor kidney. These medications can cause a variety of side effects, including:
Bone thinning (osteoporosis) and bone damage (osteonecrosis)
Diabetes
Excessive hair growth or hair loss
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Increased risk of cancer, particularly skin cancer and lymphoma
Infection
Puffiness (edema)
Weight gain
Acne
Before the procedure
Steps for undergoing Kidney Transplant
Step-1
Review of reports and case analysis by transplant team on the basis of available medical reports.
Step-2
Recipient (patient) and the donor undergo pre transplant work-up.
Step -3
Donor compatibility assessed by the transplant team.
Step -4
Patient submits all the necessary documents to the transplant committee for the approval of the transplant.
Step- 5
Case forwarded to the transplant committee for the approval.
Step- 6
Committee approves (This may take 2—4 weeks for approval after submission of all the necessary documents).
Step - 7
Patient undergoes transplant.
Before that need to find a match
A kidney donor can be living or deceased, related or unrelated to you. Your transplant team will consider several factors when evaluating whether a donor kidney will be a good match for you.
Tests to determine whether a donated kidney may be suitable for you include:
Blood typing. It's preferable to get a kidney from a donor whose blood type matches or is compatible with your own. Blood-type incompatible transplants are also possible but require additional medical treatment before and after transplant to reduce the risk of organ rejection. These are known as ABO incompatible kidney transplants.Test Includes CBC with ESR,RFT extended,LFT,Lipid profile,PSA( if applicable),PT/APTT,FBS/PP,HbA1c, HbSAg, HIV, HCV, CMV IgG and IgM, TSH,T3,T4 and HLA Typing for organ transplant.
Urine tests: Urine r/m,Urine c/s, and 24 hrs urine for creatinine/protein
Radiology Tests: ECG, 2D Echo/Stress Echo(>40years),Chest X-ray PA view,USG Whole abdomen/Pelvis,DTPA Renal scan and CT-Renal angiogram
Clearance for kidney transplant: Gynecology clearance (if applicable),Psychiatry clearance ,Cardiology clearance,PAC Clearance and Blood Donation-2
Tissue typing. If your blood type is compatible, the next step is a tissue typing test called human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing. This test compares genetic markers that increase the likelihood the transplanted kidney will last a long time. A good match means it's less likely that your body will reject the organ.
Crossmatch. The third and final matching test involves mixing a small sample of your blood with the donor's blood in the lab. The test determines whether antibodies in your blood will react against specific antigens in the donor's blood. A negative crossmatch means they are compatible and your body isn't as likely to reject the donor kidney. Positive crossmatch kidney transplants also are possible but require additional medical treatment before and after the transplant to reduce the risk of your antibodies reacting to the donor organ.
Additional factors your transplant team may consider in finding the most appropriate donor kidney for you include matching age, kidney size and infection exposure.
Living Kidney Dontion
Family members are often the most likely to be compatible living kidney donors. But successful living-donor transplants are also common with kidneys donated from unrelated people, such as friends, co-workers or religious congregation members.
Paired donation is another type of living kidney donation if you have a willing kidney donor whose organ is not compatible with you or does not match well for other reasons. Rather than donating a kidney directly to you, your donor may give a kidney to someone who may be a better match. Then you receive a compatible kidney from that recipient's donor.
If a compatible living donor isn't available, your name will be placed on a waiting list for a deceased-donor kidney. Because there are fewer available kidneys than there are people waiting for a transplant, the waiting list continues to grow. The waiting time for a deceased-donor kidney is usually a few years.
Staying Healthy
Being healthy and as active as you're able can make it more likely you'll be ready for the transplant surgery when the time comes. It may also help speed your recovery from surgery. Work to:
Take your medications as prescribed.
Follow your diet and exercise guidelines.
Don't smoke. If you need help quitting, talk to your doctor.
Stay involved in healthy activities, including relaxing and spending time with family and friends.
During the Procedure
Kidney transplants are performed with general anesthesia, so you're not awake during the procedure. The surgical team monitors your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen level throughout the procedure.
During the surgery:
The surgeon makes an incision in the lower part of one side of your abdomen and places the new kidney into your body. Unless your own kidneys are causing complications such as high blood pressure, kidney stones, pain or infection, they are left in place.
The blood vessels of the new kidney are attached to blood vessels in the lower part of your abdomen, just above one of your legs.
The new kidney's ureter — the tube that links the kidney to the bladder — is connected to your bladder.
After the procedure
After your kidney transplant, you can expect to:
Spend several days to a week in the hospital. Doctors and nurses monitor your condition in the hospital's transplant recovery area to watch for signs of complications. Your new kidney will make urine like your own kidneys did when they were healthy. Often this starts immediately. In other cases it may take several days, and you may need temporary dialysis until your new kidneys begin to function properly. Expect soreness or pain around the incision site while you're healing. Most kidney transplant recipients can return to work and other normal activities within eight weeks after transplant. No lifting objects weighing more than 10 pounds or exercise other than walking until the wound has healed (usually about six weeks after surgery).
Have frequent checkups as you continue recovering. After you leave the hospital, close monitoring is necessary for a few weeks to check how well your new kidney is working and to make sure your body is not rejecting it. You may need blood tests several times a week and have your medications adjusted in the weeks following your transplant. During this time, if you live in another town, you may need to make arrangements to stay near the transplant center.
Take medications the rest of your life. You'll take a number of medications after your kidney transplant. Drugs called immunosuppressants (anti-rejection medications) help keep your immune system from attacking and rejecting your new kidney. Additional drugs help reduce the risk of other complications, such as infection, after your transplant.

A living donor kidney functions, on average, 12 to 20 years, and a deceased donor kidney from 8 to 12 years. Patients who get a kidney transplant before dialysis live an average of 10 to 15 years longer than if they stayed on dialysis.
This loss of kidney function, known as end-stage chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, is the most common reason for needing a kidney transplant. It's possible to partially replicate the functions of the kidney using a blood filtering procedure known as dialysis.
In other cases it may take several days, and you may need temporary dialysis until your new kidneys begin to function properly. Expect soreness or pain around the incision site while you're healing. Most kidney transplant recipients can return to work and other normal activities within eight weeks after transplant.
Certain conditions can prevent you from receiving a kidney transplant, including if you: Have or recently had cancer. May live only a few more years because of an illness. Have infection that can't be treated or keeps coming back.
Average life expectancy on dialysis is 5-10 years, however, many patients have lived well on dialysis for 20 or even 30 years. Talk to your healthcare team about how to take care of yourself and stay healthy on dialysis.
Hospital recovery for a kidney transplant is usually 4-5 days if there are no complications. The length of stay depends on your medical condition and needs. You'll be in a specialized transplant care area for the duration of your hospital stay. You may be able to get out of bed the day after surgery.
