Am I A Candidate For A Kidney Transplant?

To be considered a potential candidate for a transplant, patients must meet certain basic criteria. However, these initial requirements are just the starting point. Each patient must undergo a thorough evaluation by the transplant team to determine if a transplant is the most suitable treatment option.

Eligibility Criteria for Kidney Transplantation at Yatharth Hospital

Determining eligibility for kidney transplantation at Yatharth Hospital involves a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, overall health, and transplant suitability. Most individuals with irreversible kidney failure who are on dialysis are considered potential candidates. However, patients with significant medical conditions, such as severe heart or vascular disease, may face higher risks with transplantation and might find dialysis a more suitable option. Additionally, some patients may feel satisfied with dialysis and choose not to pursue transplantation. Each patient is encouraged to discuss their unique medical situation with their doctor and our transplant coordinator before making a decision.

Some key factors we consider when assessing eligibility include:

Kidney Function: Candidates must have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with significantly reduced kidney function, often assessed through lab tests like glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and creatinine levels.

Age: While there is no strict age limit for transplantation, a patient’s age and overall health are considered. Older candidates are carefully evaluated to ensure they can withstand the procedure and derive long-term benefits.

Overall Health: Patients undergo assessments for general health and other conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or infections, which may influence transplant success and must be managed before surgery.

Immunological Compatibility: Tests are conducted to determine immunological compatibility, including blood type and tissue matching, to improve the likelihood of a successful transplant.

Indications That I May Not Be a Candidate

There may be times when transplantation is not the best treatment option for patients. Patients will be considered on an individual basis to determine whether the benefits of transplantation will outweigh the risks.
