Kidney transplantation is a major surgery that involves the placement of a healthy kidney in the body of the patient. The doctors conduct the surgery only when both the kidneys are not functional or when the patient has end-stage kidney disease.
The healthy kidney is retrieved from the body of a suitable living donor. The living could be related to the patient or completely unrelated, yet emotionally attached to the patient. A majority of countries, however, do not allow kidney transplantation from an unrelated donor. Singapore and Turkey are two such countries that allow kidney transplantation from unrelated yet known donor.
Some countries allow the use of a kidney from a cadaveric donor as well. In such cases, it is mandatory that the deceased person is registered as a donor. If the deceased person was not a donor, the immediate family members can give their consent to donate the organs of the cadaver. However, a majority of countries allow kidney transplantation from a cadaveric donor for their own nationals and not a patient from abroad.
The kidney transplantation legal formalities and laws for foreign nationals, however, varies from one country to the other. It is a complex and major procedure that involves a series of testing on the patient and the donor. It also involves a thorough review and scrutiny by the Ethics Committee in case of an unrelated donor. The purpose of this scrutiny is to check that it is a genuine case of kidney transplantation and there is no illegal organ donation involved.
The objective of this Kidney Transplantation Cost Guide is to brief you about the costs and expenses that you may have to incur while undergoing a kidney transplant abroad. Additionally, it provides a detailed break-up of what you should expect before, during, and after kidney transplantation in terms of expenses.
Doctors recommend kidney transplantation to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or Stage 4 or Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). The doctors first conduct a series of tests to check the functioning of the kidneys, including the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and creatinine levels. If indicated, they may recommend kidney transplantation to extend the life of the patient.
Patients with ESKD are advised to undergo dialysis once, twice, or thrice a week, depending on the medical condition of the patient. Dialysis is important to ensure that the body of the patient keeps functioning normally and the waste products are eliminated from the body. An alternative to dialysis is kidney transplantation, following which dialysis is no longer required in the long term.
Kidney transplantation is an expensive procedure as compared to dialysis. However, a kidney taken from a donor lasts for around 10 to 15 years. However, dialysis is required at regular intervals.
Therefore, in terms of cost-effectiveness, kidney transplantation is preferred as compared to dialysis. This is because every time a patient gets dialysis done, he or she has to pay for the procedure and also bear the hospital bed charges.
Here’s a breakdown of the key factors influencing kidney transplant costs
>>Patient’s overall health
>>Choice of hospital (facilities and reputation)
>>Accommodation type
>>Number of follow-up visits
>>Management of complications (if any)
>>Travel and living expenses (meals, medications)
>>Surgeon’s experience
