Things To Know About Kidney Transplant!

Hello,

I am Dr. Upwan K Chauhan, Urologist. Today I will talk about kidney transplant. Chronic kidney disease i.e. kidney failure is becoming a common disease nowadays due to the pollution, drugs, intake of certain chemicals and kidney disease is becoming rampant nowadays. If kidney disease can be diagnosed in the early days then it can be managed for some time with the help of the medicines that means you have to manage your blood pressure, sugar and you should decrease the salt intake But when both the kidneys failed that means creatinine starts rising and the patient will have the symptoms of asthenia, weakness, body ache and breathing difficulty and also decrease in urine discharge.

Jab ye sab lakshan aane shuru hote hain then chronic kidney disease has become a type 5. In such cases, the patient will either require to go for the dialysis or he will require a kidney transplant. It can be done easily nowadays and the most important thing is that we need a related donor. In the same blood group when kidney is donated, it gives the good result. But nowadays it can be done with the different blood groups. The cost is high but the success rate is similar. After transplantation, he has a normal life. The most important thing after the kidney transplant that he has to take the regular doses of the medicines then the only kidney would be perfectly fine. The donor is also perfectly fine and after 3-4 weeks he is as normal as before. He does not have to take any medicines. Only the patient has to take immunosuppression for life long for proper functioning. He needs to be very careful about the food that it is completely hygienic and clean, also a healthy one.

Thank You.
