This gives the patient the benefit of choosing a hospital according to his/her preference of city and surgeon
• Cost: Treatment cost is a very huge concern when one chooses a treatment location. The hospitals in India are renowned for being affordable. The price of a kidney transplant in India may differ between hospitals depending on the infrastructure, the surgeon's knowledge and the city you choose to have your surgery.

The kidney is the human body's blood-filtering organ that eliminates excess fluid and blood waste. Unfortunately, the toxic fluids accumulate in the body when the kidneys cease to function, and a condition known as kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease occurs which is dangerous for the human body.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) happens when the kidneys have lost about 90% of their normal functioning capacity. A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure whereby one individual (donor) implants a kidney into the body of patients (recipients). The new kidney that has been transplanted can do the job your two kidneys did when they were healthy.

Diabetes is the most prevalent cause of ESRD and the second most prevalent cause of ESRD is high blood pressure.

• Autoimmune diseases
• Polycystic kidney disease
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Liver disease or liver failure
• Vascular disease like Renal artery thrombosis, progressive systemic thrombosis etc
• Chronic glomerulonephritis
• Severe damage to the urinary tract

To avail kidney transplant in India, there are certain steps and protocol to follow.

• For a living donor kidney transplant, the donor must be either a sibling, son, daughter, parent, grandparent or grandchild of the recipient (patient). If there is no match in the first relation, then any matching relative can choose to donate the kidney.
• The relationship between donor and recipient will also be examined to the satisfaction of the transplant centre’s Registered Medical Practitioner.
• A kidney transplant team will review the patient case based on all the medical reports available.
• Donor and patient will have to undergo diagnostic tests like HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing, and blood tests
• The transplant team evaluates the compatibility of donors based on HLA screening. If the patient's HLA type matches the donor, then the patient's body is more likely not to reject the kidney.
• A no-objection certificate is issued to the patient by the High Commission of the patient’s home country in India which is then submitted to the hospital.
• Case forwarded for authorization to the transplant commission. The patient submits all the papers needed for transplant approval to the Transplant Committee
• Approval of the Committee (May take 2-4 weeks after all required papers are submitted)

The success rate of kidney transplant in India is as high as 90 to 95% amongst all the top hospitals in India. The findings of the operation for kidney transplantation are both satisfactory and good. After a successful kidney transplant in India, the patient will no longer need dialysis as the newly received kidney will filter blood for the body.
