A kidney transplant is a significant surgical procedure performed when kidneys fail and reach end-stage renal disease. During this process, the patient’s failing kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor. Our skilled kidney transplant team excels in efficiently replacing one or both kidneys based on the patient’s specific needs and condition. Additionally, the transplant team comprehensively analyzes and addresses the health requirements of both patients and their family members, ensuring holistic care throughout the journey.

The transplant department at Fortis is dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care, comprehensive education programs, and pioneering research. Our surgeons utilize innovative and advanced technologies to effectively treat patients with kidney failure, which can arise from conditions such as very high blood pressure, polycystic kidney disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis, and severe anatomical problems of the urinary tract. Through our multifaceted approach, we strive to ensure successful outcomes and improved quality of life for our patients.

In the intricate journey of a kidney transplant, meticulous steps are undertaken, starting with a thorough Pre-transplant workup aimed at comprehensively understanding the patient’s condition. This involves an array of assessments, from scrutinizing the patient’s fitness through blood tests for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and blood grouping, to evaluating viral markers, biochemistry, radiology scans, tumor markers, CT scans, Angiogram, ECHO tests, and endoscopy. Specialists from various fields like cardiologists, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pulmonologists, dentists, anesthetists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, and dietitians conduct a comprehensive evaluation. Following the transplant, the team ensures meticulous post-operative care, with continuous monitoring and timely delivery of medications, ensuring unwavering support for the patient’s swift recovery.
