Kidney Transplant

Restoring Lives Through Kidney Transplantation at Zydus Hospitals
Kidney transplant is a life-sustaining treatment for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), where the kidneys have permanently lost their ability to filter waste from the blood. At this stage, patients require either dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. Among these, a successful kidney transplant surgery offers the closest return to normal renal function and a better long-term quality of life.
Zydus Hospitals is recognized as the best kidney transplant hospital in India, with a consistent track record of clinical excellence, advanced infrastructure, and a multidisciplinary transplant team. Our treatment is led by experienced nephrologists, urologists, transplant surgeons, and critical care specialists working together to provide ethical, evidence-based, and outcomes-focused care.

Common Causes Leading to Kidney Transplantation
The most frequent medical causes that progress to ESRD and make patients candidates for a kidney transplant include:
Diabetes mellitus (diabetic nephropathy)
Hypertension (high blood pressure-induced kidney damage)
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Polycystic kidney disease
Congenital or acquired anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract
When kidney damage becomes irreversible and progressive, the patient may require long-term dialysis or evaluation for a transplant at a qualified kidney transplant hospital in Ahmedabad.

Treatment Options for End-Stage Kidney Disease
Zydus Hospitals offers all standard modalities for renal replacement therapy, including:
Hemodialysis: mechanical blood filtration using dialysis machines
Peritoneal dialysis: internal filtration using the abdominal lining
Kidney transplant surgery: surgical implantation of a functioning kidney from a donor
While dialysis can manage the symptoms and complications of kidney failure, kidney transplantation offers superior long-term outcomes, particularly in younger or otherwise medically fit individuals.

Kidney Transplant Procedure and Donor Requirements
The kidney transplant procedure involves surgically placing a healthy donor kidney into a recipient with ESRD. The donated kidney can come from:
A living related or unrelated donor
A deceased (cadaveric) donor
Kidney transplant donor requirements include blood group compatibility, cross-match testing, absence of transmissible diseases, and a comprehensive medical evaluation. Both donor and recipient undergo thorough pre-transplant assessments. Post-surgery, patients are required to take immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection and are closely monitored by the transplant team.
