FAQ's Related to Kidney Transplant Surgeon

What does a Kidney Transplant Surgeon do?

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.

What are the tests required before and during consultation for a Kidney Transplant Surgeon?

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:

  • Blood Tests
  • Urine Tests
  • Urine Output Measurements
  • Donor-Special Blood Tests
  • HLA Testing
  • Removing a sample of Kidney Tissue for Testing
  • Imaging Tests

Please have a look at some more tests that are important prior to and during the kidney transplant.:

  1. Blood tests
  2. Chest X-ray

  4. Electrocardiogram
  5. Cardiac stress test
  6. Cancer screening
  7. Colonoscopy

When should you go to see a Kidney Transplant Surgeon?

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.

The doctor also consults with you in deciding whether a kidney transplant is the right way to go for you.
