A person has to undergo an extensive educational journey and training to become a kidney transplant surgeon. First, transplant surgeons need to qualify the medical entrance exam to get into a medical school. Once the candidate clears the entrance test, he/she completes a five-and-a-half-year programme (MBBS). After this, they go for a three-year MS course to have specialisation in surgery. They then complete a general residency like any other doctor. Finally, they have to complete an additional three years of a kidney transplant surgery fellowship. After this, they become certified transplant surgeons.

A kidney transplant may be an option if the kidneys have stopped working completely. This condition is called end-stage renal disease or end-stage kidney disease. Some common conditions treated by kidney transplant surgeons are:

• Kidney Failure
• Kidney Cancer

There are various reasons for visiting a kidney transplant surgeon. Some of these are:

• Your kidneys have stopped working or you are on dialysis.
• You are diagnosed with cancer that has spread from its original location to other parts of the body.
• Infection in the kidney that could not be treated properly.
• Critical conditions other than kidney disease that do not get better even after transplantation.
• Severe heart problems that may make it unsafe to have surgery.
• Cancer that has spread to the kidney.
• Recurring kidney infection that may not be treated.

A kidney transplant surgeon will evaluate your health to know if you are fit for transplant. The doctor will ask you a few questions related to your symptoms to know the severity of the health condition you are suffering from. They will order a few diagnostic tests to do a complete analysis of the consequences of transplant if any. If the kidney transplant surgeon finds that transplant can have a harmful effect on your health, they will recommend alternative treatment options or will tell you to wait for some time so that you become fit for the transplant.

In addition to tests and physical exams, you could get a lot of information at your first appointment. You may need to bring a family member or friend along with you. The person you bring can help ask questions, listen, and take notes.
