Explore the types of transplants we facilitate and the advanced surgical technologies used.

Types of Kidney Transplants

We facilitate living donor transplants in strict accordance with Indian medical and legal guidelines.

  • Living Related Donor Transplant: The donor is a close blood relative (parent, sibling, child, or spouse). This is the most common and successful type.
  • Pre-emptive Transplant: Performing the kidney transplant before the patient's kidney function deteriorates to the point of needing dialysis.
  • ABO Incompatible Transplant: Utilizing advanced blood filtering (plasmapheresis) so a patient can receive a kidney from a donor with a different blood type.
  • Swap Transplant: A paired exchange program where two incompatible donor-recipient pairs swap donors to achieve compatible matches.
  • Advanced Surgical Techniques

    Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy

    For the donor, the kidney is removed using keyhole surgery. This ensures minimal scarring, less pain, and a rapid return to normal life (usually within a week).

    Robotic Kidney Transplant (RKT)

    For the recipient, robotic arms allow the surgeon to precisely connect tiny blood vessels with a smaller incision, reducing surgical complications and infection risks.

    Post-Transplant Care & Monitoring

    A successful surgery is just the beginning. The critical phase is ensuring the body accepts the new organ.

    • Immunosuppression Therapy: Tailored anti-rejection medications to prevent your immune system from attacking the new kidney.
    • Infection Prevention: Detailed protocols and isolation during the immediate post-op period when immunity is lowest.
    • Long-term Follow-up: Routine tele-consultations and monitoring of Kidney Function Tests (KFT) even after you return to your home country.

    The Transplant Journey

    A structured, step-by-step process ensuring legal compliance and medical safety.

    1
    Medical Evaluation

    Share KFT, Ultrasound, and HLA typing reports of the patient and the proposed related donor for an initial clinical review.

    2
    Arrival & Workup

    Travel to India on a Medical Visa. Both patient and donor undergo extensive physical and psychological cross-matching tests.

    3
    Legal Clearance

    Submit relationship proofs (DNA, Embassy NOC) to the Transplant Authorization Committee for official approval.

    4
    Surgery & Recovery

    Surgery is performed. The donor is usually discharged in 4-5 days, while the recipient stays in the hospital for about 10-14 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Kidney transplantation involves strict legal and medical guidelines. Here is what you need to know before planning your trip to India.

    Ask a Specific Question

    Under Indian Law (THOA), international patients must bring a related living donor from their home country. The donor must be a close blood relative—specifically a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, or spouse. Commercial organ donation is strictly illegal.

    If the blood groups are incompatible, you can undergo an ABO Incompatible Transplant. Medical treatments are used to lower the recipient's antibody levels before the surgery, preventing the rejection of the incompatible organ. Our partner hospitals specialize in this advanced procedure.

    Typically, the entire process takes about 2 to 3 months. This includes 2-3 weeks for pre-operative workup and legal committee clearance, the surgery itself, and about 4-6 weeks of post-operative monitoring to stabilize immunosuppression medications before flying home.

    Yes, extremely safe. Using Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy, the risks are minimal. The human body functions perfectly normal with one healthy kidney. The donor usually returns to normal daily activities within a few weeks and requires no long-term medication.
