      > Freedom from Dialysis Routine: A kidney transplant eliminates the need for thrice-weekly dialysis sessions, offering a break from this demanding routine.

      > Quicker Recovery, Reduced Pain: After a kidney transplant, patients generally experience a faster recovery period with less discomfort compared to regular dialysis treatments.

      > Mitigated Mortality Risks: Opting for a kidney transplant contributes to a reduced risk of mortality, leading to an overall improvement in patient prognosis and life expectancy.

      > Enhanced Quality of Life: A kidney transplant enables individuals to lead a life with fewer dietary restrictions, promoting an overall improvement in well-being and quality of life.

      At Apollo Institutes of Transplant, we provide a complete program with different types of kidney transplants to meet your specific medical needs. Each transplant option comes with its own benefits and is tailored to suit individual situations.

      > Cadaver or Deceased-Donor Kidney Transplant: This procedure involves receiving a kidney from someone who has recently passed away, with their family's consent or as indicated on a donor card. The donated kidney is preserved and then transplanted into a person with kidney failure. It can be kept viable by cooling or using specialized machines until it's implanted. Often, the donor and recipient are close geographically to minimize the time the kidney is outside the body.

      > Living Donor Kidney Transplant: In this procedure, a kidney is removed from a living donor and placed into the recipient's body to replace the damaged kidney. The human body can function normally with just one kidney, making this type of transplant feasible.

      > Pre-emptive Kidney Transplant: This procedure involves receiving a transplant before starting dialysis. It's seen as an excellent treatment for acute kidney injury or advanced chronic kidney disease.

      > ABO incompatible Kidney Transplant: When the donor kidney's blood type O antibodies don't match well with the recipient's, special methods are used to make the recipient's body less sensitive to these differences, allowing the transplant to proceed.

      > SWAP Kidney Transplant: Also known as a kidney swap, this occurs when a living kidney donor is incompatible with their intended recipient. In such cases, a swap happens between donor-recipient pairs, enabling two incompatible recipients to receive kidneys that are a better match.

      Kidney failure can have a negative impact on a child's growth, bone strength, and nerves. This can affect a child's brain development and function, causing learning disabilities. Kidney transplant is considered the best treatment option for adults, as well as children, who have kidney failure. Having a kidney transplant means your child would not have to do dialysis, which takes up lots of time and could disrupt your child's social and school life.

      While kidney transplants are a life-saving procedure, it's important to understand that, like any surgery, they do carry some risks. However, thanks to advancements in medicine, the rates of serious complications have fallen sharply in recent decades. Here are some of the potential risks involved in kidney transplants.

      Infection: Between 10% and 20% of transplant recipients experience an infection within the first week after surgery. This is due to the immunosuppressant medicines you need to take after your transplant, which lower your immune system's ability to fight infections. Thankfully, these infections can be managed with antibiotics or other medications.

      Blood Clots: Blood clots can form in the arteries connected to the new kidney, affecting around 1 in 50 transplants. While medication can sometimes dissolve these clots, in some cases, removing the transplanted kidney might be necessary if the blood supply is blocked.

      Narrowing of an Artery (Arterial Stenosis): Over time, the artery supplying blood to the transplanted kidney can narrow, potentially causing high blood pressure. This narrowing can often be treated with a procedure to widen the artery, and sometimes, a stent may be placed to keep it open.

      Blocked Ureter: The tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder (ureter) can become blocked. This blockage can happen soon after surgery due to blood clots or develop later due to scar tissue. A catheter can often resolve the blockage, though surgery might sometimes be required.

      Urine Leakage: A small leak from where the ureter joins the bladder can occur within the first month after surgery (around 3-4% of recipients). This fluid buildup can be treated with additional surgery.

      Acute Rejection: Even with immunosuppressant medications, the recipient's body may recognize the transplanted kidney as foreign and attack it. This is called acute rejection and affects up to 1 in 3 people in the first year after a transplant. Acute rejection often doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms and is usually detected through routine blood tests. If rejection does occur, it can often be successfully treated with a short course of stronger immunosuppressant medications.
