Low cost kidney transplant in India with tourism package

Kidney transplant in India from dead donors can come from those whose hearts are still beating but are brain dead, as well as from non-heart beating donors.

Nagpur, India (prHWY.com) March 18, 2012 - Medical tourism offers kidney transplant in India as affordable treatment in beneficial package with tourism. Having a kidney transplant is often the last channel effort to save the life of an individual whose kidneys have failed and no longer process waste products in the body. Statistics reveal that a total of about 9,000 kidney transplants occur every year in India and about 3,000 transplants occur from living related donors. It is important to arm yourself with kidney transplant information before undergoing any procedure. You should learn how the kidneys work and why they may fail. The procedure will make more sense when you have this knowledge.

Here are few things doctors explain about kidney transplant in India. The kidneys have multiple functions. They follow a key regulatory role and they have a big part in the urinary system and ridding the body of toxins. Additionally, they work to keep everything in the body in balance. This includes maintaining the balance of acids and bases and regulating blood pressure, fluids in the vessels and the circulating electrolytes. Your kidneys are your body's natural filters. They filter out wastes from your blood stream. In turn, this produces urine, which moves into the bladder where it is stored for future removal when you relieve yourself. When your kidneys produce urine, wastes like urea and ammonium are excreted. Kidneys also are in charge of reabsorbing important things like water, amino acids, and glucose that your body needs to function properly.

Kidney transplant in India from dead donors can come from those whose hearts are still beating but are brain dead, as well as from non-heart beating donors. The kidney can survive on ice for several hours before transplant so that technically, a person can be dead and still donate their kidneys. The kidney is then kept in a cold solution prior to donation. The best organs for kidney transplant come from the brain dead donors.

Doctors judge compatibility for kidney transplant in India by assessing the ABO blood type of the donor and recipient as well as the HLA and minor antigens. If many of these match, the risk of rejecting the transplant and further dialysis is much decreased. In addition, resistant suppressants are used to keep the resistant system in check. In India, only about 17% of transplants have no HLA mismatch whatsoever. This improves the success rate remarkably.

Because kidneys can be kept cold for several hours, the kidney transplant in India is usually done in a different place from where it was harvested. In addition, the kidney is also placed in a different place from where a normal kidney would be. The most common spot for kidney transplant is the iliac fosse in the lower abdomen. The blood supply must come from somewhere other than the renal artery.

In situations where the kidney transplant recipient is a diabetic, the pancreas is also sometimes transplanted at the same time in order to turn around some of the diabetes the individual has. This almost always requires a deceased donor although partial pancreas transplants in living donors has been done. The patient can also receive a kidney transplant in India first, followed by a pancreas transplant at a later date.
