Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure which places a healthy kidney from a donor into a person whose kidneys no longer functioning properly. The kidneys remove excess fluid and waste from blood. When kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of fluid and waste accumulate in the body — a condition known as kidney failure. A kidney transplant is often the best treatment for kidney failure. Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys.
Patients with renal failure can also avail other treatment options aside from transplantation, including Dialysis and fistulas & grafts.
Evercare Hospital Dhaka offers comprehensive kidney transplantation services with collaboration of Department of Urology and Department of Nephrology. The program draws on state-of-the-art technology and leading-edge medical and surgical interventions to provide patients with individualized, on-going care.
Patients in the program have a highly experienced multidisciplinary personal care team including kidney specialists (nephrologists), kidney transplant surgeons (urologists), infectious disease specialists, psychiatrists, nurse coordinators, immunologists, pharmacists, etc. Our kidney transplant program offers the safest services with the best success rates and almost zero percent infection rates, which has made it a national referral program.
Potential kidney transplant patients are carefully evaluated to see if they are good candidates for transplantation. The patient’s donor also needs to be evaluated to ensure that he/she is a match for the donation. Pre- and post-surgery examinations are important for the health, safety and recovery of the patient. Our highly experienced Nephrology or Urology Consultants carefully evaluates the patient in level-8 (OPD) and recommends the most effective treatment plan.
According to Bangladesh law, kidney donation is only permitted when the donor is a first blood relative (mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunty) or husband/wife (on emotional ground). The patient will personally arrange his/her legal donor, and this is strictly maintained at Evercare Hospital Dhaka.
