We have listed here the conditions that are treated by Dr. Atul Ingale.
People who are having some serious infections, that includes tuberculosis, hepatitis and bone infections are those that could be a good candidate for a kidney transplant. You might need to get a kidney transplant if you have cancer now or had it in the recent past. Other conditions because of which a kidney transplant could become necessary are excessive cardiovascular or liver disease.
Let us have a look at the signs and symptoms because of which kidneys end up losing 90% of ability to filter then the person has end stage kidney disease and will need a kidney transplant.
The signs and symptoms which lead to end stage kidney disease necessitating a kidney transplant are outlined below. One of the most frequent reasons for this to happen is when a patient is diabetic for a certain period of time. Your kidneys could be damaged also due to prolonged history of High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).
The operating hours of the doctor are from 10 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday, with an off on Sunday. You will start to recuperate in a day or two and be home bound within a week.
We bring to you the names of the popular procedures performed by Dr. Atul Ingale.:
The donors whose kidney is transplanted in the place of the diseased kidney could be a living or deceased donor. It makes sense for you to get your kidney or kidneys replaced with a healthy kidney before you would have to get on dialysis and such a procedure is called a preemptive kidney transplant. Getting regular and timely checkups done is a way of knowing if your kidney transplant is a success and your body has accepted the new organ.

A kidney transplant surgeon helps you by replacing the diseased kidney or kidneys with a healthy one. The surgeon not just performs the procedure but handholds you through the preoperative and post operative rehabilitation as well. They also prescribe the right medications and tests which will assist the process.

In order to check if you are the right candidate for a kidney transplant, there are some tests that need to be done such as:
We bring to you some more tests that could be required in the process of kidney transplant.:
In order to ensure the acceptance and seamless functioning of the kidneys, the tests should be done timely and at the right frequencies. Few of these tests are important to know the heart strength and they are Echocardiogram, Electrocardiogram and the cardiac stress test.
Any symptoms that indicate a kidney failure are a good reason for you to a kidney transplant done. Many transplants are done on patients who are already on dialysis but can be opted by patients prior to being put on dialysis. It is also the work of the surgeon to check up on how your body is faring post transplant surgery. Further, the decision to get a transplanted kidney is also taken in strict consultation with the surgeon.
