Here is an outline of the conditions that are treated by Dr. Hasan Tasci, a Kidney Transplant Surgeon.
There are infections which could have the effect on kidneys that you need to get a transplant for them and these are bone infections, tuberculosis and hepatitis. A recent occurrence of cancer or being a cancer patient in the present also could make you an excellent candidate for a kidney transplant. Kidney disease or cardiovascular disease can become good reasons for someone to get kidney transplant done.
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. Patients who have been diabetic for a pretty long time might end up having this disease. Another major reason that could result in serious irreversible damage to the kidneys is having High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).
The doctor's operating hours are from 10 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday, Sunday is an off day. You can be up and about from the surgery in a day or two and reach home in one week.
We bring to you the names of the popular procedures performed by Dr. Hasan Tasci.:
The kidney transplant may involve retrieving the kidney from a deceased or a living 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 healthy kidney in the place of one or two diseased kidneys, this procedure is called a kidney transplant and is performed by a Kidney Transplant Surgeon. 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. Technicians, surgeon and nephrologist are all part of the team who perform this surgery.
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:
Please have a look at some more tests that are important prior to and during the kidney transplant.:
The transplant should happen efficiently and kidneys should work well post acceptance by the body, therefore it is important for the tests to be accomplished at the right time and frequency. The cardiac stress test, Electrocardiogram and Echocardiogram are required in some cases to realise the heart condition and its fitness for the procedure.
You must visit a Kidney Transplant Surgeon if you have any of the commonly seen symptoms associated with a kidney failure. It is not necessary that just people on dialysis get the kidney transplant, it is also true that you can get it done before such a situation arises. It is not just the actual procedure but the surgeon assists you with how the body is faring with the new kidney. The doctor also consults with you in deciding whether a kidney transplant is the right way to go for you.
