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.
