Global Patients Looking For Nephrectomy Treatment In India

Kidney Disorders are also called as ‘silent disorders’. These diseases are extremely harmful in nature and may not show any symptoms in the initial stages. But, when the patients have reached a stage of End-stage Kidney Failure, the Kidneys become incapable to filter the wastes. Owing to this, there is undesirable accumulation of fluid in the body, which puts an extreme amount of pressure on the Kidneys. This is when a Kidney Transplant or a Nephrectomy can prove most beneficial. In this procedure, a Donor Kidney takes over the function of the one or both Kidneys and the patients are saved from undergoing Dialysis. This is because tolerating the side effects of Dialysis can be very challenging.  

There are three primary types of Nephrectomy:

• Simple Nephrectomy

• Partial Nephrectomy

• Radical Nephrectomy

Kidney Transplant or Nephrectomy is beneficial for patients suffering from End-stage Kidney Failure. At this, stage, the Kidney/s have reached at an irreparable stage. This condition happens when a patient is suffering from any of following health conditions:

• Diabetes Mellitus

• High Blood Pressure

• Severe anatomical problems related to the Urinary Tract

• Kidney Cancer

• Polycystic Kidney Disorder

• Glomerulonephritis

• Any accident that has brought grave damage to the Kidneys 

• Computerized tomography (CT) Scan, a specialized X-ray technique, which gives images of thin cross-sectional views of soft tissues

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses radio waves and a magnetic field to produce cross-sectional views or 3-D images

• Ultrasound, an image of soft tissues produced with the help of sound waves

Also, important is the blood type compatibility between the donor and the receiver. Other basic steps include preparing the patient aptly for the procedure, filling the patients with the relevant details about the surgery, finding the presence of any health condition in the donor, taking good after-care after the surgery.
