A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure used to replace a damaged kidney with a donor kidney that is fully functioning and healthy. The kidney may come from a living donor or a deceased organ donor. It may be possible for family members or other suitable candidates to donate one of their kidneys. With a healthy kidney, kidney donors can lead normal lives.

 

 

The cost of an affordable kidney transplant in Noida starts at INR 10,82,584 (13,000 USD). The patient will have to spend 10 days in the hospital and a month out of the hospital for re-examination. The diagnosis and the facilities chosen by the patient will determine the total cost of treatment.

 

 

Preparation will include medical tests to determine your overall health and check your compatibility with the donor. This may include blood tests, imaging, cardiac evaluation, and infection checks. You will also need to make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, controlling diabetes or blood pressure, and perhaps losing weight. Part of the process is finding a living donor or being placed on a transplant waiting list.

 

 

The transplant operation usually lasts 3 to 5 hours. Most patients remain in the hospital for 5 to 10 days after surgery for careful monitoring and medication adjustments.

 

 

A successful transplant restores normal kidney function, eliminates the need for dialysis, increases energy, appetite, and overall well-being, and usually leads to a longer survival than without dialysis.

 

Recovery includes a stay in the hospital followed by several weeks of restricted activity and frequent follow-up. You will need to take immune suppressive medications throughout your life to prevent rejection and have regular blood tests to monitor kidney function and medication levels.
