Renal/Kidney Transplant

Renal Transplant / Kidney Transplant in Jalandhar – Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal | Sarvodya Hospital
Renal Transplant (Kidney Transplant) at Sarvodya Hospital

A renal transplant, also known as a kidney transplant, is a life-saving surgery where a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into a person whose kidneys have stopped working properly. When kidneys fail, harmful waste builds up in the body, and dialysis or a transplant becomes necessary to stay alive.

At Sarvodya Hospital, we offer advanced kidney transplant services with a compassionate, expert team led by Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, Senior Urologist and Kidney Transplant Specialist.

Who Needs a Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant is recommended for people who have end-stage kidney disease, where kidneys function at less than 10-15%. Common causes include:

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic kidney infections
  • Polycystic kidney disease
  • Long-term kidney damage

Types of Kidney Transplants We Offer:

  1. Living Donor Transplant: A healthy person (usually a family member) donates one of their kidneys.
  2. Deceased Donor Transplant: The kidney comes from a person who has passed away and previously consented to donate.

Our transplant team evaluates both donor and recipient carefully to ensure the best outcomes.

Benefits of a Kidney Transplant:
  • No need for lifelong dialysis
  • Better quality of life
  • Fewer diet and fluid restrictions
  • Improved energy, mood, and overall health
  • Longer life expectancy compared to dialysis
 
The Transplant Process at Sarvodya Hospital:
  1. Evaluation – Comprehensive tests to check your health and suitability for transplant.
  2. Finding a Donor – Living donor testing or registration on the transplant waiting list.
  3. Surgery – The transplant is performed by our experienced surgical team in a sterile, state-of-the-art operation theatre.

Recovery & Follow-up – Most patients stay in the hospital for about a week and return for regular follow-ups to ensure the new kidney is working well.
