Kidney Transplant in Vijayapura — When Is It Needed and Who Can Donate?

When Is a Kidney Transplant Needed?

A kidney transplant is usually advised when the kidneys lose 85–90% of their function—commonly referred to as End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Signs you may need a transplant include:

• Long-term dialysis dependency

• Poor quality of life on dialysis

• Poorly controlled blood pressure

• Severe anemia or bone disease despite treatment
  

Early referral to a nephrologist, like Dr. Madraki, improves your chances of a successful transplant and recovery.

Who Can Donate a Kidney as per Indian Law?

In India, kidney donation is governed by the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA). Here’s who can legally donate:

• Close Relatives: Parents, siblings, spouse, and children are considered first-line donors.

• Others (Non-relatives): In special cases, friends or extended family can donate with permission from an Authorization Committee to ensure ethical practices.

• Deceased Donors: Patients declared brain dead can donate with family consent.
  

Every donor undergoes medical, psychological, and legal evaluations to ensure the process is safe and voluntary.
