Although Kidney Transplant is life changer for patients, not all patients are suitable to have a transplant. The team at our hospital discusses the transplant procedure in detail with the patient during hospital visits. One needs to go through multiple screening levels to help ascertain the suitability criteria for a transplant. The selection criteria for kidney transplant recipients include the following:
- Existing or impending end-stage renal disease
- Free of malignancies
- Free of active infection
- An acceptable body weight
- Impact or correctable urological abnormalities
- No active abuse of alcohol, drugs or smoking
- Ability to follow transplant protocols and medication regimens
- Heart and lung status consistent with being able to tolerate the surgery and consistent with a predicted good, long-term outcome
Every potential candidate is considered on an individual basis. A number of radiological, blood and urine tests are done and evaluated by the Transplant Surgeon and Nephrologist.
