Renal Transplant – Advanced Kidney Transplant Surgery by Dr. Premkumar K

Renal Transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is transplanted into a patient with end-stage kidney disease or chronic kidney failure. Dr. Premkumar K, an expert in Renal Transplant & Urology, provides comprehensive evaluation, meticulous surgical care, and long-term follow-up to improve quality of life and restore kidney function.

• Indications – Chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), dialysis-dependent kidney failure, polycystic kidney disease, diabetes-related kidney failure, or other irreversible kidney conditions.

• Donor Options – Living donor (related or unrelated), deceased donor, and paired kidney exchange. Careful compatibility testing ensures safe and successful transplantation.

• Pre-Transplant Evaluation – Blood and tissue typing, imaging studies, cardiac assessment, infection screening, and comprehensive evaluation of both donor and recipient to minimize surgical risks.

• Surgical Procedure – Placement of the donor kidney in the lower abdomen, connecting blood vessels and the ureter to the recipient's bladder, ensuring optimal blood flow and kidney function. The native kidneys may or may not be removed depending on the case.

• Post-Transplant Care – Immunosuppressive medications to prevent rejection, infection prevention, regular monitoring of kidney function, and lifestyle guidance to maintain long-term transplant health.

• Complications Managed – Acute or chronic rejection, urinary leak, infection, bleeding, delayed graft function, and post-transplant hypertension are closely monitored and managed by the transplant team.

• Long-Term Outcomes – Improved kidney function, reduced dependency on dialysis, better quality of life, and increased longevity with careful follow-up and adherence to medication.

• Patient Education – Guidance on diet, exercise, medication adherence, infection prevention, and early recognition of complications to ensure long-term success of the transplant.

With extensive experience in kidney transplantation and patient-centered care, Dr. Premkumar K provides safe, effective, and successful renal transplant surgeries with excellent long-term outcomes.
