Live Related Donor Transplant – Safe & Advanced Kidney Transplant by Dr. Premkumar K

Live Related Donor Renal Transplant involves transplantation of a healthy kidney from a living family member (related donor) to a patient with end-stage kidney disease. This procedure offers better outcomes, shorter waiting times, and improved long-term kidney function. Dr. Premkumar K, an expert in Renal Transplant & Urology, provides thorough evaluation, meticulous surgical care, and lifelong follow-up for both donor and recipient.

• Indications – Chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, or dialysis-dependent kidney failure requiring transplantation for improved quality of life.

• Donor Selection – Healthy family members (siblings, parents, or children) undergo thorough evaluation including blood group compatibility, tissue typing, kidney function assessment, and overall medical fitness.

• Pre-Transplant Evaluation – Comprehensive medical work-up including imaging, blood tests, cardiac evaluation, infection screening, and detailed counseling for both donor and recipient.

• Surgical Procedure – The donor kidney is carefully removed using minimally invasive or open techniques and transplanted into the recipient’s lower abdomen, connecting blood vessels and ureter to restore kidney function.

• Post-Transplant Care – Lifelong immunosuppressive therapy, infection prevention, kidney function monitoring, and guidance on diet, lifestyle, and physical activity to ensure long-term graft survival.

• Advantages – Shorter waiting time compared to deceased donor transplant, better graft survival, improved quality of life, and reduced dialysis dependency.

• Complications Managed – Acute or chronic rejection, surgical complications, infection, delayed graft function, and long-term monitoring for hypertension or diabetes-related kidney issues.

• Long-Term Outcomes – Enhanced kidney function, improved survival, and better quality of life with adherence to medical therapy and regular follow-up.

With extensive experience in live donor kidney transplantation, Dr. Premkumar K ensures safe, effective, and successful outcomes for both donors and recipients.
