Out expert nephrology specialists provide cutting-edge treatments and care, from dialysis and
advanced imaging to live-donor kidney transplants. Our nephrology department benefits from a
collaborative, multidisciplinary team of experts, including dedicated nephrologists, skilled transplant
surgeons, urologists, interventional radiologists, and experienced dialysis nurses.
Treatments and Procedures
A renal transplant surgery is a procedure to replace a damaged kidney with a healthy one from a
donor. The new kidney can come from a deceased donor or a living donor, such as a family member.
Most people receive one kidney, but in rare cases, they might get two from a deceased donor.
People who donate a kidney can live healthy lives with just one. Before surgery, medical,
psychological, and social evaluations are conducted to ensure the fitness and safety of the recipient
and the donor (in living-kidney donor transplants). Testing also confirms proper blood group and HLA
matching and tissue cross-matching.
The kidney transplant surgery lasts between three and five hours and is performed under general
anaesthesia by a transplant surgeon. After the surgery, the nephrologist supervises the recipient's
monitoring and medications.
