We have listed here the conditions that are treated by Dr. Muthu Kumar P.
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. Kidney transplant could be a requirement for patients who have recently recovered from cancer or who are suffering from cancer now. Kidney transplant might become a necessity for patients having severe case of liver disease or cardiovascular disease.
We bring to you the symptoms and signs which end up affecting the filtering ability of the kidneys to up to 90 percent which means the person has end stage kidney disease and is a good candidate for 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).
Your kidneys could be damaged also due to prolonged history of High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). 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. Muthu Kumar P.:
Of the types of kidney transplants, the cadaveric renal transplant and living donor kidney transplant is so differentiated owing to the nature of the donor whether deceased or alive respectively. 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. One must go for regular checkups post the procedure to know if the transplanted kidney is working well..

Transplantation is when you put in an organ from a healthy person into someone whose organ is diseased or missing. And a Kidney Transplant Surgeon places a healthy kidney in place of diseased kidney/kidneys. The surgeon not just performs the procedure but handholds you through the preoperative and post operative rehabilitation as well. Recommending the right tests and prescribing medicines is also done by them. While the procedure is being performed they are a part of the team which also includes Nephrologists, nurses and other technicians as well.
We have outlined below the tests that give a good picture of whether you need a kidney transplant.:
Here is a comprehensive list of additional tests needed before and during the kidney transplant procedure.:
In order to ensure the acceptance and seamless functioning of the kidneys, the tests should be done timely and at the right frequencies. Echocardiogram, Electrocardiogram and cardiac stress test might be needed based on the doctors opinion.
You must visit a Kidney Transplant Surgeon if you have any of the commonly seen symptoms associated with a kidney failure. The surgeon can help you preempt the situation of going on a dialysis by assisting you in getting a transplant before your kidney or kidneys fail to such an extent. They also help you with post transplant checkups to see whether your body is accepting the transplanted kidney well. It is the surgeon whom you must consult when you are in the process of deciding whether to get a transplanted kidney or not.
