Frequently Asked Questions
A kidney transplantation is a procedure where a healthy kidney is placed in a patient who is suffering from failed kidneys and is on dialysis. The kidney usually takes over the function of native kidneys within days to weeks and thus the patient becomes free from dialysis. As compared to dialysis, kidney transplant not only provides better quality of life but also increased survival of the recipient.
Deceased kidney transplant: In deceased donor kidney transplant, the kidney is taken from a deceased donor (brain dead) and is surgically transplanted into the body of a recipient. Living kidney transplant: In living donor kidney transplant, the kidney is taken from a healthy living donor and is surgically transplanted into the body of a recipient. Living kidney transplant is better than deceased kidney transplant due to High success rate Kidney from a living donor usually functions immediately Gives time for preparation of donor and recipient. Less chances of rejection , especially when kidney is donated by a blood relative
Based on compatibility of blood, there are two types of kidney transplant ABO compatible kidney transplant ABO incompatible kidney transplant
In this type of transplant, the donor and recipient don't share the same blood group (E.g A B). Due to the presence of preformed antibodies to opposite blood groups, this type of renal transplant requires preparation of the recipient by giving medications and doing a procedure called plasmapheresis or immunoadsorption. In ABO incompatible transplant, the patient is admitted two weeks prior to date of transplant and started on medicines and above said procedures to prepare his/her body for transplant. As compared to ABO compatible transplant, ABO incompatible transplant carries higher risks of bleeding, infections, and rejections during the first one month. However, one month after transplantation, these patients survive and behave well just as those patients who underwent ABO compatible transplant. Kidney Transplantation
