Understanding When a Kidney Transplant Becomes Essential
Kidneys process about 180 litres of blood and remove almost 2 litres of waste every day. Kidney diseases and injuries can affect how kidneys function. Over a period of time, untreated kidney diseases can result in a slow and silent decline in kidney function. Some of the diseases, such as diabetic kidney disease, blood pressure, glomerular diseases, congenital kidney diseases, trauma, or poisoning, can cause damage to the nephrons, the filtering units of kidneys, and thus reduce the kidney function or renal function.
Renal function or kidney function is intact when both the kidneys are working efficiently, as measured by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). eGFR is the measure of percentage of kidney function that is available. Rarely, a small or mild decline (30 to 40%) is noticed even in normal individuals. People with reduced kidney function usually have an associated kidney disease and there are chances of both of them worsening with age. Kidney diseases and decline in kidney function are usually silent, until the decline is severe with an eGFR of 25%. Any further decline below 10 – 15% requires lifetime dialysis or renal transplant or dialysis.
India boasts one of the highest kidney transplant success rates globally, with over 90% success reported for the approximately 7,500 kidney transplants performed annually. Currently, 90% of these transplants come from living donors, while only 10% are from deceased donors, typically patients who have passed away due to brain stroke or accidents.
Our kidney transplant centres are situated at 3 locations offering wide range of treatment options for kidney diseases with success rate of 90%. Our kidney transplant program is aimed at providing quality services for patients with end-stage kidney disease and chronic kidney disease.
Recognising Kidney Disease
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden drop in kidney function caused by infection, trauma, or an accident. In some cases, the damage to the kidneys can be reversed, which is why it’s also known as acute renal failure. However, if not treated, AKI can lead to permanent kidney damage.
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. This slow decline in kidney function often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. In CKD, the kidney function, measured by eGFR, falls below 60 for three months or longer.
- End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, where the kidneys fail almost completely. The body can’t get rid of excess water and waste, leading to swelling in the hands and feet, a condition known as uremia. If left untreated, uremia can cause seizures or coma. At this stage, regular dialysis or a kidney transplant becomes critical for survival.

Kidney Transplant at Yashoda Hospitals
Evaluation of each patient for kidney transplant is referred to a comprehensive evaluation process including various physical examinations, diagnostic tests, and educational meetings, done on an outpatient basis. Importantly, a diagnosis of end-stage renal disease confirms each patient’s eligibility for the transplant procedure.
The patient may receive kidneys from a live donor (a relative or a close friend), a paired kidney donor (registered recipients and donors), or a deceased donor. Before transplant, the donor’s kidney is tested for the tissue type and blood type, as this would help in reducing the chances of rejection of the new kidney. During the kidney transplant surgery, the surgeon places the healthy donor kidney in the patient’s body and the damaged or diseased kidneys are removed from the body. The blood vessels and the ureter are connected to the new kidney
Surgical procedures for kidney transplants
Given our vast experience in kidney dialysis and transplants, we ensure the overall process of kidney transplant procedure is a smooth and seamless journey for the patient. Kidney transplants can be performed by many types of surgical interventions like conventional open method, minimally invasive laparoscopic or robot assisted techniques to remove donor kidney(nephrectomy) and transplanting into the recipient.Compared to conventional surgery, robotic transplant surgery facilitates smaller incisions, minimal blood loss and precise manipulation of the structures during the surgery.
