Solutions for lung transplant
In a lung transplant surgery, a diseased and unhealthy lung is replaced with a donor's lung. A variety of diseases can damage the lungs and hinder their functional ability. Depending upon your health and after putting you through some high-precision diagnostic tests to evaluate the condition of your lung or lungs, our expert transplant specialists will decide if you need one lung or both lung transplants. In some cases, patients could be evaluated with a multi-organ transplant involving a heart and lung transplant.
The typical lung diseases that make lung transplants necessary are:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Emphysema
Pulmonary fibrosis
Pulmonary hypertension
Cystic fibrosis
Any advanced lung disease due to any reason.
Complexities of lung transplant
Lung transplant is a major surgical procedure and could involve many complications, but it can greatly improve patients' health and quality of life. Sometimes it could be a long wait for a matching donor.
Some of the risks include your immune system’s rejection of the donor's lungs. Though this can be slowed, it cannot be stopped entirely. Also, the necessary powerful immune-suppressing drugs have unavoidable side effects, including diabetes, kidney damage, and vulnerability to infections.
