Understanding Kidney Transplant Care in the Indian Context
Kidney transplantation offers the best survival and quality of life for eligible CKD Stage 5 patients. In Telangana, cadaveric donation through Jeevandan is increasing, but timely evaluation is essential to secure a match. Ajuda Hospitals streamlines assessments, documentation, and lifelong follow-up so patients from Hyderabad and surrounding districts stay transplant-ready.
Many families struggle with paperwork, donor coordination, and post-surgery medication costs. Our transplant clinic provides legal guidance, financial counselling, and insurance liaison support to keep the process transparent and stress-free.
When to Consult Our Transplant Specialists
⚠️ Seek Immediate Care If You Experience:
- ✓ Fever above 100°F, graft pain, or reduced urine post-transplant
- ✓ Sudden rise in blood pressure or swelling
- ✓ Uncontrolled vomiting or diarrhoea threatening medication absorption
- ✓ Exposure to infections like chickenpox without immunity
Plan an evaluation as soon as your nephrologist anticipates end-stage kidney disease. Early planning allows living donors to be screened and cadaveric registration to be completed before dialysis dependence begins.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Recipient Fitness Review
We assess cardiac function (echo, stress test), pulmonary status, infection screening, and nutritional status. Psychologists ensure mental readiness for surgery and follow-up.
Donor Safety Assessment
Potential donors undergo renal function tests, CT angiography, and psychosocial evaluation to ensure safe nephrectomy and long-term wellbeing.
Multidisciplinary Board
Nephrologists, transplant surgeons, cardiologists, psychologists, and social workers meet weekly to confirm suitability and documentation compliance with NOTTO/THOA.
Post-Transplant Surveillance
After surgery, we monitor creatinine, tacrolimus levels, and graft ultrasounds. Surveillance biopsies detect subclinical rejection, and infections are addressed promptly.
Treatment Pathways
Ajuda's transplant program is designed end-to-end:
- Pre-Transplant Optimisation: Manage comorbidities, update vaccinations, and treat infections.
- Donor Coordination: Legal paperwork, compatibility testing, and counselling for living donors.
- Cadaveric Readiness: Register with Jeevandan, maintain updated medical data, and prepare for short-notice surgery.
- Surgical Collaboration: Tie-ups with accredited transplant centres for theatre and ICU care under the same clinical protocols.
- Post-Transplant Care: Immunosuppression management, infection prophylaxis, and lifestyle counselling.
- Long-Term Surveillance: Annual health checks, cardiovascular risk assessments, and tele follow-up for outstation patients.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Initial Consultation: Recipient and family meet the transplant team, understand eligibility, and schedule investigations.
- Evaluation Phase (2 Weeks): Cardiac, infectious, and psychosocial assessments for recipient and donor; documentation compiled.
- Transplant Board Decision: Case approved, surgery date finalised for living donors or cadaveric readiness confirmed.
- Post-Transplant Follow-up: Weekly visits for the first month, then monthly with labs, drug level adjustments, and lifestyle counselling.
Technology & Innovation
Our Transplant Tracking Registry links lab results, medication refills, and tele consult notes, ensuring no follow-up is missed. Automated alerts flag abnormal creatinine or tacrolimus levels. We integrate with Jeevandan for real-time updates on cadaveric organ availability.
Preventing Complications
Vaccination protocols, antimicrobial prophylaxis, and regular labs keep infections minimal. Early biopsies detect rejection, while diabetes and hypertension management protect long-term graft function. Mental health support addresses post-surgery anxiety and adherence challenges.
