Process of kidney transplant

For process of kidney transplant in India, a recipient is required to have preferably a blood group compatible kidney donor from the family (donor has to be between 18 to 65-70 yrs). The relationship will be confirmed by doing  HLA/DNA test of the donor & recipient  as required by the human transplant act of our country. Sale of organs is prohibited by this act. Now a day’s blood group incompatible transplant (with different blood group)is also possible. However, In this type of transplant, antibodies in the patient against donor blood group has to be removed through plasmapheresis/immunoadsorbtion. So this type of transplant is more costly as compared to transplant in same blood group.  The donor and recipient will have to undergo detailed tests, which could take 7-15 days (depending on what is found on investigations), prior to transplantation. The Transplantation can be done if the recipient and donor are found to be fit after these test  and after the approval of authorization committee .The respective embassy in Delhi will certify all the proofs of certificates and documents of relationship between the donor and the recipient. 

Kindly send us the reports of donors for review by our Transplant team.
