Living donor Kidney transplants in India.

Kidney diseases are on the rise. Lifestyles, dietary habits, and excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption are the major factors responsible for kidney diseases. In India, there are many Kidney transplant specialist surgeons at many better-equipped hospitals to provide successful Living donor kidney transplants. As the awareness and availability of organ donation post-death are still in a very nascent stage, kidneys from deceased donors are not readily available, and the patients suffering from end-stage renal disease requiring a kidney transplant depend on donation from living family members for live donor kidney transplants.

Who can be a live donor for a Kidney transplant recipient?

A healthy blood-related family member, usually a son or daughter/parents, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, and brothers and sisters, is considered a blood relation. The donor needs to be an adult in the age group of 18-55 years, preferably healthy enough to donate one of his kidneys, without any risk to his quality of life post donation. Preliminary tests for the fitness and compatibility of the donor are done for screening and choosing the correct donor for a successful kidney transplant. Any other relative is considered an unrelated donor, and certain documents are needed to prove to the Government of India-appointed organ transplant committee that the donor is related to the patient requiring a kidney transplant. The donor is willing to donate one of his kidneys to the patient out of love and family bonding and not under any pressure or monetary obligations.

What happens to a living donor post kidney donation?

A healthy and fit donor lives a perfectly normal life post the donation of one of his kidneys. The doctors do advise him certain do's and don'ts post-donation. Anything that is not good for the health of a person with both kidneys functioning normally is also considered bad for the live donor. Regular and periodic check-ups are suggested for a live donor. As high blood pressure and diabetes are considered two major causes of kidney function going bad, the donor is advised to follow a healthy life style for remaining disease free.

Does a live donor have a health risk or compromised life post kidney donation?

A healthy donor lives a perfectly normal life post-donation. Donation of a kidney does not have an adverse effect on overall life or quality of life for the donor. Selecting the right donor is important, as it cuts down the cost of dialysis and the need for frequent admission of the patient till the time we get approval from the Government of India-appointed transplant committee for kidney transplant. Once the approval is given by the Committee, the patient is given a date and time for surgery. The following tests for the donor are required to lessen the chances of flying in the wrong donor and saving time and money for guests till we fly in the right donor. 1. Urine ( SPOT) ,Protein creatinine ratio, LFT (Liver function test),Urea, Creatinine, Sodium(Na), Potassium (K),Blood sugar( Fasting and Post prandial),HBA1C, Calcium (Ca),Phosphate (Po4),Uric Acid, PTH, Lipid profile, Vitamin D level,T3.T4,TSH and LDH. 2. Complete Hemogram, BT, CT, PT, PTTK, and urine routine. 3. Urine culture, CMV-IGG, EBV(CAPSId)_IGG, for MALE patient PSA (if above 50 years of age). For female patients: CA-125 and Pap smear. 4. Blood group, HBSAG, anti-HCV antibody, HIV1 & 2, HCV RNA qualitative, Anti HBS antibody. 5. ECG, Echo/stress echo, Cardiac clearance. 6. Chest X-ray, Ultrasound (whole abdomen, CT (Angio) for renal vessels, DTPA scan, etc.

Diabetes is not just one disease,it gives rise to many health problems. We are starting this awareness series about complications of diabetes associated health problems.

The First in series is Diabetic Retinopathy.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy: One of the major complication of chronic uncontrolled, untreated Diabetes is Diabetic Retinopathy.Diabetic Retinopathy is unclear and hazy vision because of the damage to tiny blood vessels in eye,that provides nourishment to retina.The leakage of blood and other fluid due to damage to blood vessels in eye,causes swelling of retinal tissues and a hazy,unclear vision.Diabetic retinopathy affect both the eyes simultaneously.

Diabetic Retinopathy can be classified in two categories.

Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy: Although proliferative diabetic retinopathy is not very common but it is more severe.

Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy:This is commonly found form of diabetic retinopathy.Although it s mild but is associated with possibility of macular edema (Thickening of Retina).

Macular Edema hampers the vision drastically.

Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the major causes of Loss of vision or blindness in Adults.

What are signs and Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy? 

Usually the progression of diabetic retinopathy is slow and the sufferer don't feel any major changes but with progression of medical condition,the patient start having a clouded and hazy vision and if it is not treated in time,it may cause permanent vision loss or blindness. The symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy are:

• Hazy or clouded vision.
• Sudden loss of vision in one eye.
• Seeing rings or hollows around Light.
• Dark spots or flashing lights.

The symptom described above may be associated with other medical conditions too,but if one suffer from diabetes then one must immediately see an Ophthalmologist or Eye doctor.

High blood pressure and pregnancy may aggravate diabetic retinopathy.

Who are at risk of suffering from Diabetic Retinopathy?

Anyone who suffers from diabetes,whether type-1 or type-2 stands the danger of suffering from Diabetic Retinopathy.

The major risk factors are:

• poorly controlled diabetes over a period of time.
• Uncontrolled and chronic high blood pressure.
• Sleep apnea is a disorder where the sufferer have episodes of shallow or infrequent breathing during the sleep.
• High blood cholesterol levels. 

How Diabetic Retinopathy is Diagnosed ?
At CMCS Health we are associated with best equipped and well managed Eye Care hospitals and centers. An Ophthalmologist or Eye Specialist may perform certain tests

• Test for vision acuity.
• Eye Fundus examination by dilation of eye and examining the retina.
• Fluorescein Angiography is done by dilating the eye,injecting a die or contrast media in a vein and taking pictures of retina.
• Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) can also be performed for diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.

What are treatment Options for Diabetic Retinopathy?

There are different treatment options at different stages of the disease.

Regular and periodic check up with eye specialists are the front line management for Diabetic Retinopathy.

Strict control over Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure can greatly reduce or prevent diabetic retinopathy.

Laser Surgery:
Laser Surgery is routinely being used by the eye surgeon all across the globe for correction of diabetic retinopathy in conjunction with medicines.A laser is focused on retina to seal the leaking blood vessels in retina to reduce the Macular edema.
For Neovascularization the laser is delivered on peripheral retina.The small laser scar will prevent formation of abnormal blood vessels and helps in binding the retina to back of the eye and thus preventing retinal detachment.Laser surgery greatly improve the chances of preventing visual impairment or blindness.

Anti VEGF Therapy:
It involves injecting the medication in the back of the eye of the patient. Medication is an antibody designed to bind to and to remove excessive Vascular Endothelial growth factor present in the diseases eye.

Intraocular Steroid injections:
Another treatment for Macular edema, a diseased condition in diabetic retinopathy patient is to inject intraocular steroids for reducing the amount of fluid leaking into the retina because of chronic diabetic diseased condition. It sometimes require repeating the dose and often is clubbed with laser therapy to obtain better and lasting treatment results.

Vitrectomy:
It is generally recommended for those patients with advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy.It involves a micro surgery where the blood filled vitreous is removed and replaced with a clear solution.

 Understanding Our Eyes: The human eye is a complex organ that works by reacting to light, processing it and transmitting it to brain and helps us in seeing. Human eye consists of major parts listed below: 
1. The Orbit: The orbit is a skeletal structure just like a socket; eye ball rests in this socket that protects the eye from injury. Surrounding the eye within the socket is a layer of fatty tissues, cushioning the eyeball and allowing it to move smoothly within the orbit.
 2. The Eye or Eye ball: The Human eyes consist of three layers. The outermost layer is called as fibrous tunic and is composed of cornea and sclera. Middle layer is called vascular tunic and is made up of choroid, ciliary body and iris. The innermost layer of eye is called retina. The eyeball consists of three chambers filled with eye fluid named Anterior chamber (between the cornea and iris) ,Posterior Chamber (between the iris and lens) and Vireous Chamber (between the lens and retina). The anterior and posterior chambers are filled with aqueous humour while vitreous chamber is filled with thicker and transparent gel like fluid called vitreous humour. 
3. The Optic Nerve: The Optic Nerve runs from the back of the eyeball and connects to the brain and acts as a conduit, transmitting visual information into the brain. 
4. The Cornea: Cornea is the clear portion of eye that covers the iris and the pupil and takes up about one-sixth of the eye. 
5. The Iris and Pupil: The iris is the colored ring of tissue that lies beneath the cornea. The pupil is located in the centre of the iris and acts like a camera aperture, allowing light to enter the eye, adjusting to control the flow of light into the eye. In bright conditions, the pupil closes down, reducing the amount of light entering the eye and protecting the delicate nerves from being damaged. In the dark, the reverse happens to allow what light there is to enter the eye. 
6. Lens and Retina: Just behind the iris is the lens. The lens focuses rays of light onto the retina, which is a light-sensitive nerve tissue that contains photosensitive cells called rods and cones. The Retina converts light into electrical signals that are carried to the brain by the optic nerve. 
7. Eyelids: Eyelids protect the surface of the eye from scratches, dust and foreign objects and also help to lubricate the surface of the eye. 
8. Tear Glands: Tears are provided by several glands in and around the eyelids. Tears are around 99% water and keep the cornea moist, as well as protect the delicate cells on the cornea. 
Common Eye diseases and their treatments:
 1. Myopia: is a medical condition in which one can see nearby objects clearly but far away objects appear fuzzy or unclear. Myopia can be treated by using eye glasses or contact lenses prescribed by an eye specialist after evaluation of diseased condition. Refractive or Laser eye surgery are permanent cure for myopia. The person who had refractory or laser surgery for Myopia generally does not require wearing eye glasses or lenses. At Complete Medicare Solutions we are associated with best Eye surgery specialists of India for our global guests.
 2. Hyperopia: is a medical condition in which one can see far away objects clearly but find it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Hyperopia can be treated by using eye glasses or contact lenses prescribed by an eye specialist after evaluation of diseased condition. It can also be corrected with Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) . 
3. Cataract: Cataract is a diseased eye condition where the natural lens of eye, which is transparent, gets opaque. Natural aging is one of the common causes of cataract but it is aggravated by smoking, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, use of steroid medications, hormone replacement therapy. Cataract is corrected by replacing diseased cloudy or opaque natural lens with an artificial lens (IOL). 
At Complete Medicare Solutions we are associated with best eye care treatment centers in India and best Indian eye surgeons. Cataract surgery are performed by phacoemulsification method using the latest in world Femtosecond Laser technology for more precise cataract surgery results. We offer a wide range of premier intraocular lenses (IOL) depending on need and budget of our global guests. The latest technologies ensure that patient can go back home within hours of surgery, no need of hospitalization, smaller incision and very quick recovery time. A person needing cataract surgery for both eyes usually is advised for a spacing of at least one week for surgery of both eyes. 
4. Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a medical condition where an increased intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve causing vision problems. If timely treatment is not given for glaucoma, it can cause complete blindness. When conservative treatments including trabeculectomy surgery to treat glaucoma fails a newer Tube-shunt (Seton Glaucoma surgery) is performed to treat Glaucoma. Our Glaucoma experts also perform Trabeculotomy for Congenital Glaucoma. At Complete Medicare Solutions we are associated with eyes care centers with Best Indian Glaucoma specialists for best Glaucoma treatment in India for our global guest.

Back problems are one of the most common reasons to see a doctor. Approximately 80% of people will experience back pain during their lifetime. Fortunately, for the vast majority of these people, the pain will subside naturally without the need for surgery. 

However, for those with chronic conditions surgery may be an option. Spine surgery—whether back or neck surgery—is an advanced treatment option for pain and disability caused by an identifiable lesion in the patient’s anatomy that has not adequately improved with non-surgical treatments. Although spinal arthritis tends to be chronic, the symptoms are rarely progressive and rarely require surgery on the painful spinal joints. However, surgery may be needed in severe cases and may include a spine fusion, decompression, and/or laminectomy.
